Can someone post a link to Merrill? I'm having trouble getting there from CC. I want to see if it's just that link while I'm at work, or the sight. It's not giving me a blocked message, just that the site isn'te available.
 
Re: MeriillI know that there are issues with Firefox if you are trying to open it with that.

You have to use Internet Explorer.:grumpy:

Re: Meriilli am using internet explorer... I'm just wondering if it's blocked, even thought the blocked page doesn't come up.

I didn't used to have a problem, this just started last week.
 
Re: MeriillI don't think you can post the link here because you need it to link to your consultant number through CC.

I've never had a problem using Firefox to get to Merrill. BTW, Safari works, too.

There is no way to get to them other than through CC, because the link to get to them passes along your consultant number. That's how everything is pre-filled when you get to Merrill.
 
Re: MeriillYou need to go through CC, there is no direct link.I use Firefox and have no problems.

Oh wait - it wasn't getting into Merrill that was the problem - it was placing an order. The order wouldn't go through unless it was in IE. Maybe that's changed now...it's been a long while since I've ordered anything from Merrill.:rolleyes:
