Web site sucks

I have not dealt with CanadaAmmo yet but I have browsed their site several times. I personally have not had any issues browsing or searching for anything. The only issue I have with the site is when you add ANY item to your cart, it automatically adds 2 default items to your cart for "donations" totaling $40 that you have to make a specific point to remove if you are not interested. A default additional $40 charge tacked on to your order seems a bit presumptuous to me. Nothing should EVER be added to your cart unless you have specifically added the item(s) yourself. Just seems like a pretty underhanded way to drum up donations from people not paying close enough attention since most people would assume their total only consists of items they have chosen to purchase.
 
a have to agree web site is crap now donations also is annoying to me if adding donation option why not a buck and let people decide how much they want to donate ?

Negative, Ghostrider. I have the latest build of Java, running under the latest Explorer 11 on Windows 7 and the web site doesn't work properly for me. The same thing on my Surface tablet running Windows RT 8.1 with Explorer 11. I haven't tried it on my PC running Windows 8.1 with Explorer 11.

It's functional to the extent that I can use all of the navigation, but I'm presented with a red bar, a large black space, the navigation menu along the left side, and finally the content below. That said, while it's an annoyance, it's a minor one. I haven't let it stop me from giving Canada Ammo my money.

Hopefully when Microsoft's Spartan browser arrives in July it will work properly for those of us who doesn't want to use that POS Firefox or the Borg's Chrome browser.
 
Not to mention their banner at the top of this page is still advertising DA Buck and Slug for $149.99,
which of course you will not find on the website.

The sub categories don't work on Chrome for iPad... However, I find long pressing the subcategory then copying the link url and pasting into the address bar works.
 
the site didn't work on one of my work computers.......unfortunately it works great on the computer at my other job, my home computter , my iPad, an most unfortunately on my Sony Experia phone. Can Am just makes it too damn easy for me to shop online. I wish it didn't work so well on my other devices because I would have a lot more money than I do now.

I blame Canada Ammo for being the primary reason why the wife is always pissed at me.
 
It's incredible that this is still a thing with everyone on CGN. Sundays are now CanadaAmmo Website Hate Thread days.

"Must be Sunday!" :)

CLEAR your COOKIES and temp internet files

Haven't done it yet for Amazon, not about to start doing this for a certain website which occasionally works and occasionally does not, when there are so many other vendors to choose from.

Edit: For what it's worth, Canam's site works for me today, but it didn't work last week. I can't even remember the last time I've cleared cookies/temp internet files for a production website and I have no intention of starting now.

I have to agree that the site is terrible. Your website has either saved me from spending money or had me spend my money elsewhere.
 
Before we go and blame the website or the fine people of Canada Ammo (which I've had the pleasure of doing business with), whether you like the new design of the website or not is completely subjective, it works perfectly fine on anything I've tried it with, which includes Chrome, IE11 and also Chrome on my Android phone. If, for some reason it does not work on your PC or other devices, try and updating your browser, clearing its cache and such.
 
Congratulations! This must be the 4th thread dedicated to how much the (relatively) new canadaammo.com site sucks.

Many of the bugs have been fixed, yet the #1 problem still exists: nothing that I ever want is in stock!

As such, I have put a few items on the 'wishlist' for restocking emails, hoping this feature will work, and just don't bother going back anymore.
 
I'm not the biggest fan of the new site either, I wish it had better filtering options. You can filter guns by manufacturer and calibre but not by firearm type. I'd like to be able to have only bolt action or semi or whatever instead of everything lumped together.

This is such a good point to mention, because for me, I think the new site is bright and easy to navigate, a nice change from the past. The problem I have had is entirely to do with how the site displays, or not, as has been the case. Since inception it's improved thanks to input from users on this forum, but as long as it continues to work, I have no issues at all. It's a better site, for sure.

We certainly have seen our fair share of public outcry from people opposed to change though, no?
 
It's terrible trying to view it through my phone. I do almost all my shopping when I'm bored away working so I haven't bought anything for a while now.

There is so much fail in this comment that I am not sure what to start with... perhaps with the fact that there's no decent Android-based browser? Or that a phone's 5.1" screen is not actually intended for practical browsing beyond watching a tiny video or reading a text box? Seriously... a phone is a social networking device, not a web browsing platform like a tablet, laptop or PC. Talk, text, watch. Nothing more. You might as well complain that your Ford Escort can't carry a fridge in the trunk.

Yet it does every other website just fine.......hmmmm.
Fyi it doesnt work on my pc either so pound sand.
 
IMO. How good the website is not a factor to determine whether I buy or not. If the website is not working for me. I would call to make my pruschase happen.
