This would be no surprise since they never understood the Internet e-commerce world with any concept of how to survive.

Honigs whose site sux iguanaballs, figured this out and they have geographic distibutors on top of e-commerce. Ump-attire whose site has gone from kiddie to decent took that route early on. Even the MLB umps have decent sites.

I've never had a problem with the Honig's site, and my orders always arrive two days after I click the payment button.

+POS went on a spiral after the owner, and I can't remember her name, passed away. They kids had no clue on how to run the operation. Pity, I will miss their Joe Brinkman scraper/plate brushes and long sleeved, lined jerseys. What I won't miss is them constantly lying to customers.

I didn't know it was the kids, but whoever it was was certainly incompetent. I got the feeling that they had no idea what they were talking about, even with something as simple as shoelaces. I felt that they were making up anything they could to get me off the phone. Not good retail practice when somebody calls and says, "I want to place an order."

Pity, I will miss their Joe Brinkman scraper/plate brushes and long sleeved, lined jerseys.

I will miss the all-cotton shirts. They came only in the dark blue with red trim, though. Good thing I bought a drawer full.

What I won't miss is them constantly lying to customers.

I was in retail for 10 years and can detect retailers' lies instantly. The +POS people told amateurish lies.

I have always found I like Honig's website set up as it is easy to navigate and find what I'm looking for.

I have no qualms with Dick's service but his website is OK at best. It lacks eye appeal, it's not intuitively laid out..note how prices jump all over the place.

things are different sizes (thimbnail pictures), there are no mouseover submenus. It's a subjective thing, my opinion is all that I represent.
