New Blue Collar Website

[JEFFPPC]

Typical in moves to fix what is not broken. I heard BCR has been sold. If so this is a typical result from New ownership. Change to say you did something never bodes well.

Sale was over 1 years ago.

They show powder and type they carry and sell.

You may be thinking of some place else. Blue Collar doesn’t sell powder online.

I just spent about 15 minutes on BCR. I found it easy to navigate.

Maybe I’m impaired but the new format make’s little sense to me. Jumbled, not sorted by caliber if I’m looking for bullets. I can click on the brand easy enough but then I get all the bullets listed randomly, not by caliber. They have always been my first place to look but I’ll probably look elsewhere if they keep this format…. I can either scroll through the entire line of Bergers looking for the bullet I want or…. In todays world a couple extra filters would be easy to add and make sense.

Still not much of a go from me. Hit shop then it just goes back to the same page. Maybe to slow of internet service, I don’t know.

To get away from the Home page view, after hitting "Shop", scroll down and hit either "All products" (blue button at right), or a more specific product type in one of the windows below. That will then take you to various products. Alternatively, select the desired category of products under the pull-down menu at the top of the home page (i.e. "Shop" pull-down menu).

I think Blue Collar Reloading should hire a professional web development team
so their website will be "state of the art" and make it so easy for you all, just dream
about what you all want and its in your cart.

Then they need to raise their prices 20% so that they can recoup their web development expenses and continue to keep the web development team for support.

Some guys really need some cheese with their whine.

Yes-yes, but their old one worked and they could have saved all their money. lol

I am like most of you --the web experience was not created by a guy that wants to shop for a bullet --brass==etc but...I just left the store an hour ago--They have a TON of primers--yes LRP as well--every kind you can think of and Plenty of them $80 per 1K on many
Inventory overall is the best I have ever seen--No on lots of Bergers--hell no on many Sierras which has seemed to be the norm forever now--Plenty of Hornady as always--Fresh supply of Barnes and Noslers Full line of PRS stuff like bags--Full line well stocked of cleaners etc featuring Boretech--the new Boretech cleaning rods are NICE about $65 each
Brass looks better than ever but still missing the usual suspects like 6BR
They are heavy on Athlon now with full line in stock--Lots of NF scopes--Full line of MDT in stock--22LR looked low again with just 3 or 4 kinds of SK ----- Lapua everything looked slim
Overall best selection of bullets to date--LOTS of primers--Powders are great but still some holes
The future?? Anyones guess... If you go up I 85 in NC it would pay you to drop in --they open at 10am and No Sat so plan accordingly

Well yall have this site to fix another site.....how great is that........LOL

 

[pitbull]

I also hate it the new site look is horrible

I don’t care how it looks, but it takes way to much time waiting for something to load and that usually doesn’t get you where you were going in the first place.

Some people consider it whining to post such a thread as this. As an owner of a business I have found constructive criticism to be a valuable tool in the success of my own business, if you take that as whining so be it, I think BCR would like to know how to improve sales by X% and the email I just got from them confirms that they are listening and being pro active in tuning the website up. The email was sent to everyone and just confirms they care. Email response is in the pic. I order from them more than any other components supplier and it’s welcome news.

I’m not going to beat a dead horse, but everyone go over to Blue Collar Reloading’s new site and see how you enjoy the experience.

Blue Collar is one of the best, but... the old site wasn't great. It was usable. The new site is about the same, only different... & slower. If I know what I'm looking for it's easier to search, but that stops me from browsing which usually shows something else I "need". It's a lost opportunity for a sale. The new site is very s-l-o-w it seems. Natchez redid their site recently & it creeps for me too. This strikes me as a step backward. Speed of light my ass, this is dial-up fast. Who wants to be aggravated when trying to spend $$? Midsouth, Graf's & PV move along pretty quickly (usually) & browsing is easy, so they get most of my $$.
