Basically if you filter by "prime delivery" you're sure it comes from amazon

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can be sure it comes out of an Amazon warehouse. And that's not the same thing.

Although frankly, it should be. I don't know how they've got this cushy position where they take items from others, store them, and then ship them out for enormous fees without taking on any retailer responsibility.

By having a convenient website that everybody knows about?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah, but what I mean is Tesco and Walmart are a convenient stores that everyone knows about, but if I buy an Ali Express quality fire hazard from those, they'd get into trouble for it.

While Amazon will ask you to take it up with UFTNGDNH Ltd, who conveniently can't be contacted any more, but here's CVBXDFXE Inc selling the exact same items under a different "brand".

I got something recently that was "free shipping for prime customers," but when I had to return it, it turns out that it was different and returns were not free.
