Another gripe about Adorama's site

Just encountered another longtime beef I've had with their site. Over several days I have been selecting items and adding them to my wish list. Unlike most sites you have to click on "buy now" on each individual item. That takes you to the cart where you have to click on the wish lish link and repeat the process, over and over. It would be really nice if Adorama would add the options to select multiple or all items to add to cart at once.

Just a pet peeve, not a huge deal but I know Helen watches this board and passes on suggestions. Please upgrade the wishlist options!

Just curious - have you sent this idea directly to Adorama customer service? I'm gonna bet you get better response by contacting them directly rather than waiting for Helen.

I've passed your suggestion to the web team - thank you.

Can you email me? HelenO@adorama.com

I have found that you can add to wish list on the search page just before the item you desire. If you select an item you like, just hit the back button and then you can add to wish list. The problem would be in the case you desire a used lense and you got there from the new lense link.

Several times over the years with the same response - thanks for the suggestion, we'll take it into consideration.

you might want to have a look at the universal wish list from Amazon.

Simply install the Amazon "Add to Wish List" button and start shopping. When you see something you want on any website, just click the "Add to Wish List" button, and the item will appear on your Amazon Wish List.

I don't think so.

Currently, it isn't actually possible; it is an improvement to the website that is being looked at for the future, but the priority at present is the development of 'live inventory' on the site.

Yes, this is a real issue that you and I have discussed before. The wish list is a minor thing compared to real time inventory on the site. Once real time inventory is launced it will make it much easier for me, as it is now I have to call if I have anything that is time critical to be sure the item(s) is/are in stock.

If I'm not mistaken Adorama is using the same site they had as far back as 2003. At some point it would be nice if you did a complete overhaul of the interface, not only the wish list but also the search interface. Adorama is the only site I know of that still uses that type of search.

But we launched the new site just a couple of months ago - and are still ironing out the bugs!

I know that the product and home page layouts were changed but the product navigation and searches are still the same. Just a small annoyance compared to the inventory issue which will be the biggest improvement.
