We’ve been busy making changes to the site. One of the more noticeable features can be found on the individual product pages of the site. This new, handy little button on the bottom right of the page allows visitors and customers to report issues encountered with a model.
No need to open a support ticket or hit us up on live chat (not that we mind chatting with customers). This new way of reporting technical issues, misleading descriptions, offensive material, or suspicion of infringement makes the process much quicker and easier process.
Here’s how it works:
1. While viewing a product, select the “Report” button at the bottom right of the page.
2. Select the Reason for Reporting and add any additional comments you have to support the claim.
Select the option that is best suited to the issue you have encountered. We’ve laid out all of the options in addition to the descriptions for each below.
