sleepzone site nonsecure?

Both IE and Firefox show the SleepZone site for the heated hose as non secure for ordering, despite the spiffy thawte seal. While I'm sure they are wonderfully honest folk, all of the servers between me and them?... that is another thing all together. I likes me little padlocks, I does.

Does anyone else sell this?

Nope. We all got ours from them.

Check out the thawte link. It appears to be secure.

The order portion is SSL secured. The reason you cannot tell is because it opens the order window in a frame. The main page that contains the frame is plain old HTTP so there is no padlock in the corner. If you were to break out of the frame you would see the padlock- https://secure.contact.com.au/sleepzone ... &pricelvl=

(not sure if that link will work since it was built out of my session)

Bottom line is the order itself IS ENCRYPTED so no worries there

In the new Opera 8.5 browser a popup window comes up on the order form page that says:

"This site is using an outdated encryption method currently classified as insecure. It cannot sufficiently protect sensitive data. Do you wish to continue?"

Not very comforting, especially since I just ordered one using another browser !

EXCELLENT! The link worked fine and I see what you mean. Bad design IMO. Seems they spent their money on CPAP equipment design not website design. I like that! BTW they already answered my email, offering to call at my convenience. Pretty good service, I'd say. Also BTW you just sold two hoses for them. You should get a cut don't you think?

Thanks mucho-

For sleepzone, I am of the opinion....
Great product.
Great people and service.
REALLY poor website design.

I have bought 2 hoses through them so far, and probably sold a whole pile of hoses for them.
