Title

Fielmann is an anti-web site (2025)

Description

<n>I found this one-year-old article in my publication queue.</n> It's time to order contact lenses again, so it's time to bitch about the Fielmann web site. We have been here before, in <a href="{app}view_article.php?id=4193">2021</a> and earlier this year in <a href="{app}view_article.php?id=5378">2025</a> <img src="{att_link}fielmann_is_such_a_bad_web_site.jpg" href="{att_link}fielmann_is_such_a_bad_web_site.jpg" align="none" caption="Fielmann is such a bad web site" scale="40%"> <ul> Check out the image above. This is a site for people who can't see well, <i>by definition</i>. Look at that awesome contrast between the font color and the background. So professional. The tiny fonts in the check-out form are still there. Does it show my default payment option in the summary and then select a different payment option when I actually check out? Of course it does. Because that's how shitty this web site is. <ul>Did I quickly find a 6-pack of the contacts that I want? Yep. I could show my most recent order and add it to the shopping cart. How about finding a larger pack for the same presctiption? Nope. You have to find it yourself. Does it fill in my prescription when I select the larger pack? It does not. Can I add it to the cart? Mysteriously, I cannot.</ul></ul> There's an option that they're pushing <i>hard</i> to set up a <i>subscription</i>---because <i>of course they are</i>---and I can't even get the button to enable when I select that option. I would only have saved 2% so I just <i>gave up on saving money</i> and bought two of the six-packs instead. At least I was allowed to increase the number of six-pack boxes in the order form. FFS.
