You can also place orders without creating a store account or logging in. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
+1. I tried setting up a store account early on and logging in a couple of times. The store rejected my login info. So now I place orders without even attempting to use a store account. It takes a little longer to enter my personal info each time I place an order, but that's no big deal. Knives have never sold out while I was completing my personal info . . . and that goes back to the days of the old business plan when inventory was limited and sales were based on first-come, first-served.
Accuracy is more important than speed in placing an order. And logging in, as Chris pointed out, is completely unnecessary. It's simply a convenience for those who want to take advantage of it.
