Spent an extra two hours shopping as things would not be added from other tabs into shopping cart, and even added to "one" cart, wouldn't always hold in the cart. Had to keep checking to see if I had all the things I was looking at.

I have a hard time trying to log-in to my account. I have to check forgot my password, get an email and voila, I'm signed in. This gets annoying if I have to do this each time come to your store.
