I had a much easier time finding products on Walthers old Website from a few years back before they went to the present one.  If you ask me, the present site needs more than a little room for improvement.  When it first went up, it was awful. It's a little better now but the old one was tons better.

No doubt, like any website, there is room for improvement. But, I never have had significant problems with the Walthers website. That said, the volume of business conducted by Walthers means that it better have an efficient website, one that is easy to navigate.

Hopefully when they are done it is easier to use than before.

Hopefully they look at one of the great on-line shopping sites like Grainger when they update the Walthers site.

I sometimes want to browse through stuff, and sometimes I want a specific product. Walthers, MTS, and Amazon all are frustrating to me after using Grainger and a couple other industrial suppliers.

Tried the site, no products! LOL

 

Did you read the BIG MESSAGE saying they are updating the web site?

A few products do come up, HO track for example.

Hopefully when they are done it is easier to use than before.
