When a vendor introduces a new item, why make customers click through to a page that is not the product page, but first to a page with a couple of images that you can also find on the product page that then sends the customer to the product page. The intermediate page tells me nothing that the product page itself doesn't. The promo images aren't nicer, the product isn't any cheaper.

I don't know if anyone really likes having to click on two links to finally get to the product page, but I find it irritating.

Agree. Not only i don't like the extra page/click; but in general the discovery of products here is too dependant on banners. I know this site gets extra income from the vendors for those banners, but i think users (specially new users) miss a lot because there is no actual promotion on new releases. What takes 1 click in daz to see what's new every day and get an idea of what i'm interested, here requires navigating in the hope something catches your attention. It ends up being tiresome. I do like that i don't need a degree to follow on the offers, that is a huge plus on this store.
