I can't see how anyone can make much money with this slowness. It has gotten to the point that I groan if a merchant only sells at Rendo and have past things up when I could not get into the site in a reasonable amount of time. Same with merchants that sell at other stores, it is usually the other store for me, I don't need to pay for frustrations, life gives every one enough of them. Even reading the forums of this site does not give you a pleasant experience when it goes so slow. Your first intro to this "store" is the entrance. It takes the place of that smile most sharp stores or business give you as a first contact impression. This site is getting to be like that rude clerk we have all run into, you really sometimes dread having to go there again. The slowness happens so often that you don't equate the place with a pleasant experience. This is really a shame, there are some really nice people here, some great products and a lot of help is given in the forums.
