Cool idea! Few things about the website:

* The navbar on https://www.bitspend.net/order.html isn't consistent with the rest of the site. It's missing the "Order Now" link.

* I want to click your logo to go to the home page.

* You're using the Bootstrap default favicon

* Is the business's name Bitspend or BitSpend? Both appear on the site.

* The links on the bottom of the main page don't go anywhere.

* The text in the jumbotron/masthead is misleading. The item isn't shipped directly to the consumer.

* "Unlimit Your Bitcoins" sounds a bit awkward. What about "Unleash Your Bitcoins"?

My understanding of the business is that the item IS shipped directly to the consumer. I send them X bitcoins (plus a $2 fee), and a link to amazon.com item, and they buy it for me using their credit card, and Amazon ships it to me not them.

You think the item goes to them first?

It says it goes to their warehouse first for "relabeling", then sent to you, "so you can shop anonymously".

It probably also has the benefit of not triggering merchant anti-fraud mechanisms for shipping to all manner of different addresses.

There's two types of packages:

- Standard Order, $2 flat fee

- Anonymous Order, 5% fee
