Maybe you are not following the threads here. Apparently, several of the
images on the bulk order page are not the right pictures.


[ ... snipped ... ]

I have not ordered anything from the bulk order service yet. I am simply
collecting the problems that people have reported and putting them all
in one message. I am surprised, but no one seems angry yet. I would be.

I suspect that the reason that no one is really angry is that we are (for
the most part) still pretty happy with being able to order anything at all.
I know I am.  I suspect that we are dealing with the bugs of a system that
was brought on-line pretty quickly.  Originally Brad Justus stated that bulk
ordering may be available by the end of the summer.  Since the summer
doesn't actually start until June 21st, I think they are doing pretty well
all things considered.  We are all active participants in a pilot (aka beta)
project for lack of a better description.

This morning I called S@H to report the problem with #3444.  The very nice
lady offered to refund my money  (I refused, I can use the low slopes
although I would have prefered medium slopes).  She also mentioned that the
response to the limited selection far exceeded their expectations.  What
that means I have no idea, just paraphrasing her comment.

My $0.02 - YMMV.
