[NEW] We’re Exploring a New Research Study – Interested?

Alanta Lee

We're exploring the idea of running a 3-month diary study to gather real-time insights on our new feature releases—and we'd love to know if you'd be interested in taking part!

What’s involved?

  • A dedicated space in Slack or Microsoft Teams
  • Regular check-ins with short questions about your experience
  • Surveys after each new feature release
  • Opportunities to share screenshots & videos of your journey

What’s in it for you?

  • A £100 Amazon voucher as a thank-you for your time
  • A discount on your next purchase
  • The chance to directly influence how we improve our website

The study is likely to start around May/June, but details may evolve based on interest.

Would you be interested in taking part? Have any questions or concerns? Let me know in the comments or email alanta.lee@avnet.com

     That's interesting.  I usually get that anytime there's a link that points to Farnell.  Sometimes I get asked if I want to switch to the US site.  Sometimes not.  I chalked it up to a regional shopping thing - but that would have no influence on you as Farnell is your local store.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand how frustrating this experience must be, and I want to assure you that the team is aware of the issue. It’s related to bloated cookies, which can sometimes cause these errors when multiple filters are applied.

    We’re actively looking into a resolution, and in the meantime, clearing your cookies or using an incognito window may help as a temporary workaround. That said, we completely understand that this isn't an ideal experience, and we appreciate your patience while we work towards a more permanent fix.

  • You can have all the features you like, but the following screenshot is an experience that is all too common on the site, whenever one tries to use multiple filters when searching for a product:

    This is not new. I'm actually not going to report this, because there's been no improvement in this for years, so what's the point in me taking the time to do anything about it, other than simply use a different site that won't keep throwing such errors.

    The amount I spend at Farnell / CPC has probably shrunk to less than half over a year or so, because of these sorts of issues, I tend to now shop elsewhere too. I bet many others do the same thing.

    Great - thank you! I can't say for certain yet but about an hour a week, maybe less.

    You are still a great fit for the research study! Once I have more details about timings and the activities you may need to take part in, I'll share it with you and you can decide whether it is something you are still interested in.
