Contact form not submitting
Yeah, I've had this happen too, and it usually turned out to be a missing field or a redirect issue on their end. One thing that helped me was checking if the page shows any console errors — that'll tell you if it's a frontend script choking or something server-side. It's like when a barcode is dead and devices reject it on scan — that's a data parsing error, not necessarily your fault. Worst case, use their phone or email listed in the footer, they're usually pretty quick. Don't waste too much time on the form.
Alternative contact channels are listed on most vendor sites. Use them when the form fails.
Required field validation errors are not always clearly indicated. Double-check all fields.
Yeah, I ran into this exact issue a while back — contact form just sat there spinning or did nothing when I clicked submit. No error message, no redirect, nothing in the URL bar changing. Super frustrating when you're trying to place an order or get a status update. What I noticed, tbh, is that a lot of these privacy-focused extensions (uBlock Origin, NoScript, Privacy Badger, even some password managers) can block the JavaScript or the AJAX calls that handle form submission behind the scenes. The form might look fine on the surface, but the submit button's event listener never fires.
Incognito mode's honestly the first thing to try — it disables most extensions by default. But if you're like me and you run a bunch of browser profiles or you're stuck in a regular window, you can also just manually disable extensions one by one to narrow it down. I usually start with ad blockers and script blockers 'cause those are the most common culprits. Another quick check: open the browser's developer console (F12 > Console tab) and try submitting again. If you see red errors about blocked content or failed fetch requests, that's your smoking gun.
The fix that worked for me, honestly, was whitelisting the ID vendor's domain in my ad blocker and disabling a couple of sketchy "privacy" add-ons that were nuking third-party scripts. After that, the form went through no problem. For prevention, I'd honestly recommend keeping a dedicated browser profile (or even a separate browser like Brave or Firefox) that you use only for ID-related sites — zero extensions, no extra toolbars, just vanilla browsing. That way you pretty much eliminate extension interference entirely and never have to troubleshoot this again.
If the vendor contact form is not submitting: check for required fields that might be blank, disable browser extensions that might be blocking form submission, try a different browser, or reach out via their alternative contact channel (most vendors list a Telegram or email as backup).
