I'm not sure of any other way to put it. They're fucking TRASH to navigate. And it's like one by one they keep all going that way.
Parts Express - I have to use google to find something on it. ABSOLUTE SHIT.
Parts Connexion - Banners and shit take up the whole page and you can't easily navigate anything - funny it use to be fantastic.
TheCableco - WTF is wrong with them? You pick a brand and it shows you all their products, try to pick a type of product and you get all the brands. etc etc. The logic of following a path of categories etc seems dead on these websites.
There are more. But those three in particular blow my mind as I think about it off the top of my head. It's like they literally want to completely destroy their revenue. They seem to literally want to crash and burn the companies. I've written emails to all of them and they play it off like they're excited about the new look that makes you run away screaming for other websites that carry the same products. Hell even Michael Percy who's still a PDF catalog is easier to deal with than these insane websites.
