Super User Choporoz Posted September 17, 2014 Super User Posted September 17, 2014 Good or bad....I go back and forth on this daily Quote
Felixone Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I suppose Amazon has spoiled me with this, but I love a wishlist. For me it makes it easy to let my family know what I want when they are gift shopping, and ensures I get what I want or need. This becomes especially convenient when talking tackle. It is much easier to share my wishlist with my wife than tell her I want a specific bait in a specific color or weight. This doesn't even touch on the convenience of being able to spend a couple days researching and putting together a purchase. Just recently I was looking to make a tackle purchase. I built my cart on TW, only to get called away. By the time I got back the cart was gone. I was frustrated enough that I actually purchased those items from another vendor. If I can't get a wish list then at least allow the cart to last longer than it currently does (say 1 day). I understand that this is an additional load on their infrastructure, but I have to wonder how many other sales they have lost out on. Quote
PersicoTrotaVA Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 To be honest it gets me pretty upset! Also another thing they do is when something is not in stock anymore it disappears from the website. I bought a Damiki Dark Angel rod and went back to submit a review and they took the rods off the site! Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted September 17, 2014 Super User Posted September 17, 2014 I'd love for them to get a wish list.... Quote
woolleyfooley Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I say bad. My last order was a few hundred dollars and I left it for a night. Went to place the order the next day and it was gone. Now I just take a screenshot of my shopping cart 1 Quote

Super User bigbill Posted September 17, 2014 Super User Posted September 17, 2014 Amazon carries a few spinnerbaits I can't find the Mann's classic double Colorado 1/4oz gold. This is getting harder to find. I need to fill up a box of these too. Quote

EmersonFish Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I'm always taking pictures of my computer screen with my cell phone so I remember things, but that doesn't save my work. Seems like a wish-list would be a nice addition. Perhaps they have legitimate reasons not to do it. Maybe they think people would be more inclined to order less often, waiting until their list reached a certain amount to save on shipping? Maybe they believe people would be more likely to leave the site and price shop items that they might have went ahead and ordered if it were convenient to do so? I'm just thinking out loud. More likely it's a pain in the neck on the technical side. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted September 17, 2014 Super User Posted September 17, 2014 Why not just take a screen shot? seems easier than digging out your phone to take a pic. 2 Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted September 17, 2014 Super User Posted September 17, 2014 I would definitely like to have a wish list. Just being able to put it all in one place and keep it as a clickable list would be KEY. Quote
primetime Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 The Thing I love the Most about Tackle Warehouse and the main reason I order from them is obviously the selection and specialty to bass fishing, but more importantly, I find that the reviews for products to be 100% honest, unfiltered, and it seems the average customer who comments is a bit more educated on fishing than other websites. I can't stand reading.... "Best lure ever, caught a 4lber first cast."... I think that leaving feedback for companies is a huge way to help with future business, and if you feel a lure does not do what it says, it is alway's best to be honest, and can give valid reasons (IE. Lure did not suspend on 14lb test mono, warm weather, however adding a Larger Hook or adding 1 suspend dot did the job"...I have ordered alot of good lures and line based on reviews where I could tell the customer knew what he was talking about and used the lure more than 1x. I like to give feedback on a new lure after a few trips, and have found some awesome "odd baits and brands" from reading reviews..... I am dying to get on that site right now and order every color of the Ima Skimmer, New Evolve Hardbaits which I have heard great things about, and I have to get my hands on this Jackall Boil Topwater.....and I want to try some new suspending jerkbaits from a new Japanese company like Evergreen as I love trying new stuff...Tackle Warehouse always gets me...$50 is my target, and I end up struggling to get it under $100 when I realize I need line, weights, accessories, and nobody beats them for having an organized site to find anything.....Got off topic as usuall, but I don't like wish lists, they cause me to overspend....

Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted September 17, 2014 Super User Posted September 17, 2014 I have a word document that I put my want list in. Copy url, paste in doc, then when I want to look just go to doc and click on product. Pages for BPS TW Cabelas GM Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted September 17, 2014 Super User Posted September 17, 2014 To be honest it gets me pretty upset! Also another thing they do is when something is not in stock anymore it disappears from the website. I bought a Damiki Dark Angel rod and went back to submit a review and they took the rods off the site! I believe that rod has been discontinued...or TW isn't carrying them anymore. They were in the clearance section for awhile. They do keep out of stock items on the site, often with a date listed of when they expect it to be restocked. I wish they had a wish list or a way to save your cart. It can sometimes be a pain to go back and find everything you had added to your cart. Quote
ABW Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 There's a program I use to screenshot the computer screen. It's called lightshot. All you have to do is press prntscr on your keyboard, and go over the area you want to screenshot. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted September 18, 2014 Super User Posted September 18, 2014 Or you can just hit alt-print screen, lol. 1 Quote

atcoha Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 somedays I'm glad my cart is not saved for long.... other days...I leave my cart page open, come back later and click buy... waiting on some stuff getting delivered tomorrow...shhhh...she has no idea yet... Quote
EmersonFish Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Why not just take a screen shot? seems easier than digging out your phone to take a pic. In my case, my phone is always with me (basically stuck to my hand). Between work, home, and my laptop, I never know what computer I'll be on. I suppose I could "print" the screenshot and carry a piece of paper around, or email it to myself. I'd rather just have a pic that I always have with me and can reference when I'm at the store or wherever. But hey; I confess to not knowing how to do a "screenshot" before. I'm learning new things every day. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted September 18, 2014 Super User Posted September 18, 2014 I hear you. My keyboard is always attached to my computer. Quote
Michael F Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I just started to write down everything I wanted because of this. Takes a little bit longer but what can you do about it. Quote

Takes a little bit longer but what can you do about it. All here can go to the TW message board and ask for one. All here can call TW ask for one All here can email TW ask for one All here can go to the TW FB site and ask for one A person could contact TW and inform them of this thread to see the poll Quote
Super User OkobojiEagle Posted September 20, 2014 Super User Posted September 20, 2014 Why not just take a screen shot? seems easier than digging out your phone to take a pic. Not that I think I'd ever do it, but... how do you do it? Man, I'm a paper & pencil guy too! oe Quote
Super User David P Posted September 20, 2014 Super User Posted September 20, 2014 To be honest it gets me pretty upset! Also another thing they do is when something is not in stock anymore it disappears from the website. I bought a Damiki Dark Angel rod and went back to submit a review and they took the rods off the site! This simply just isn't true. Tackle Warehouse always keeps items out of stock still on their site, it will either show "Out" under the quantity in stock, or it will show an expected arrival date of that product to come back in. Only items that have been discontinued and that they no longer have in stock do they actually take off of the site. No wishlist doesn't bother me personally, I keep my computer with a bunch of browsers of products I want all open, OR if I plan to shut the computer off, a simple screen shot and saving it as a GIF on my desktop works.
