Where to order CIM's

[Justin M.]

BaneBots doesn't have them availible, and IFI doesnt let you order them...is it just me?

They're most of the way down the page. $28 ea.

We ordered two on Saturday with no trouble.

Whenever you click add to cart, it just says Product Invalid.

Looks like I'll just have to call them tomorrow....

It's working fine for me with Firefox 1.5. I was just able to add them individually and in quantities greater than one to the cart with no trouble.

Is anyone else unable to add these or other products to their cart on the IFI site?

I had this problem today, too. Just keep trying to add it to your cart, and it'll work eventually. When it says that it's invalid, go back, click in the quantity box, and hit Enter. If it doesn't go anywhere, then you should have one in your cart. (And yes, I had trouble with it in Firefox 1.5.)

Edit: It's still doing it for me, for both big and little CIMs. Sometimes clicking works, sometimes Enter works.

Use IE and life will be good again. FireFox still has siome limitations.

This is not a Firefox-specific bug. In any case, you might find that statement to be considered blasphemy in these parts.

I just tried adding products (both single and multiple quantity) into the shopping cart on both ifirobotics.com and vexlabs.com using Firefox 2.0 on Windows XP and everything worked flawlessly. (I never had a single "invalid" error.) The only thing you have to do is allow ifirobotics.com to open pop-up windows, as I've found that Firefox's automatic popup blocker is the only thing that causes problems when adding items to your cart on IFI's site.

Actually, Internet Explorer 7 gave me a few "Invaled" errors when I was adding things into the cart. Go figure...

Here's Firefox 2.0, adding a Mini-bike CIM to the Cart without any problems...

(I know it looks like a Mac, but it's really Windows XP. I can dream, can't I? )

No online ordering for us...we must use the PO system to use our money.

Same with our school, but what we do is spend the money and have the school reimburse us for any online orders. You should check and see if your school will do the same.

It is about a 2 week turn around on the money from our school.

They say no, nope, nada, no way Jose', ain't gonna do it, not gonna happen in this lifetime. BOO!

Same thing with us. It really gets annoying sometimes because a lot of compaines wont accept checks, so one of our mentors uses their credit card. McMaster is the easiest place to order from, seeing as they ship to us before we pay, and they send a bill with the package.
