Happy online shopping
 
I have to say I've brought up the US website debacle with a few SA's already. Not being near a Hermes, I rely on my e-commerce and would love it to be more user-friendly! Alas, I guess it keeps my bank account happy...
 
Also, since the re-design, not all of a scarf's colorways will appear in the macaroon boxes. For example, the Ex Libris en Kimonos scarf only shows up under a pink or red colorway, but clicking on that scarf reveals a lot of other colorways available for sale. I've also landed on pages at hermes.com from Google, but have no idea how/why I landed on that scarf's page (and, of course, it doesn't appear for sale in the macaroon box). It's baffling.

Here's an idea: recruit a core group of shoppers from this forum to conduct some user interface testing (discounts welcome ;)).
 
Plumarine, this just happened to me too, on the UK site ! The green Jungle Love scarf wasn't there until I clicked on the pink colour. Other colours then appeared with it.

I often click on something and get the 'page does not exist' message.

However, once successful in buying something I have found the service to be excellent. They telephoned to advise me of a hold up at customs and usually include booklets, knotting cards etc.
 
Hi everyone, I made my first purchase online today and the order was canceled within 2 hours. The CS representative called me to tell me that it wasn't in stock and asked if I'd like another color. I didn't like anything else, so I canceled the order.

4 hours later, I went back to the website and noticed the item I wanted was still there but in a different position and there were other options too that wasn't there when I placed my order the first time. I have placed another order. Do you think it'll get through this time? Why is it online again in a different position if it isn't in stock? Do you guys think my order will go through this time?

Are such mistakes a regular occurance online? Do you have confidence shopping online on the USA website?

Hermes.com is an absolute mess and even moreso since the redesign several months ago. Broken links, mistaken descriptions are routine. It's ridiculous that a company like Hermes can't get its act together on ecommerce. Many members have commented on it. Good luck with your order but there's really no telling how it'll turn out.

The website is horrid. A few months ago, I ordered a CDC before realizing they now come in different sizes. The old CDC's were one size fits all, now they are L and S. I received a L CDC which was huge so I called to ask if they had any small ones and that I needed to return the large. The SA told me they have waiting lists for many items, to return the large and she would put me on the waiting list for a small. She explained that many of their items don't even hit the website because the supply they receive will many times be depleted from their wait lists. I received a call about 3 weeks after being wait listed that the item was available. Try calling the 800# and get wait listed...it's always worth a shot.

Yes, sadly, it is specifically the US H.com site that is appallingly-run.

All these mistakes are sad. It is disappointing that such an established brand has such a poorly maintained website.

You are all mirroring my recent experiences. Just this weekend, my sa explained the "new" sizing on CDC's which didn't correlate to the US Hermes site. I called and talked to an on line associate, who agreed with me when I pointed out errors with the sizing dimensions listed on the site. She also continued to tell me that my sa in an Hermes Boutique was mistaken and I still don't know the correct specifications for the new CDC's. Also, I had ordered two twillies recently, and one came with a note about how they sold out. I don't want one twilly; I wanted two for my Birkin handles. Aughghgh.... Every order on line for me has been a problem, albeit just a few, but that means for me, 0% correct--a big fat F!
