Agree here, i think there is a little too much white in the background.

Hi guys. Nice things have been said, and questions about products are been posted, but as someone in the EU who would actually buy stuff from the new site, I do have a criticism.

Navigation is more difficult than the current US site.

For instance, say I'd like to look at strings. I click on the strings link and have a set of brand icons to choose from, fine. I click on TF strings. I get a page of TF strings, fine. However, on the list at the left, there are still links to racquets, clothes, shoes, etc. -- instead of links to all string brands for me to navigate through.

I'd have to hit the back button to navigate back to the page of string brands, or scroll down to the bottom of the list and hit strings and navigate from the start.

This is not how the US TW pages navigate, and as someone who is in the EU, the sweuro pages are a step backward IMO and pretty clunky for actual shopping.

Here's the current US TW version : http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/TecnifibreString.html

and the sweuro version :
http://sweuro.com/catpage-STTF.html

Hope you guys can fix this asap, I can tell you your EU online competitors have this figured out. Good luck!

Back to topic:

I can only join to those who are saying that those prices are high, but »somehow« I would overlook that if TW Europe would have products that are not available in Europe!

Regards

I'm confused as to how you see the price of a racket when you click on it.

Edit: Figured it out

Variety there is but still... I ordered a 3 pack Wilson H2 Overgrips from a UK store which were not available in TW Europe and a double pack of Nike Double Wide wirstbands obsidian white. The wristabands cost 5.5 euros while TW Europe has them listed at 8.9 euros. The shipping fees from the UK based store were 11 euros and items arrived in 3 business days.
So there is room for improvement.

Just looked through the site once more --

Surprised to see that there are no racquet specs posted for Tecnifibre frames.

PimpMyGame · 02-06-2009, 07:48 AM

I see the white background isn't too popular with a lot of people but I for one like it.

However, I don't like the prices. Thought I'd give the site a try for a 10 racket Aerogel bag, but it was £19.54 more expensive than a UK competitor including shipping. Please can you review your pricing structure?

Thanks

ericsson · 02-06-2009, 04:30 PM

Yes TW it's true, the prices in general are higher compared to other tennis stores in central Europe, i compared prices mainly from the Benelux and Germany, almost in all cases TW price was higher, sometimes 25 euro higher on one racket! (Prince Ozone Tour and a BB 11)
I will do some more research on the bags and apparel as soon as i go back home, i'm in Thailand for the moment.

ps: there are exceptions too like the PB 8 which has a very good price compared to other stores, strange price range IMO
