amazon prime false advertising

[Pantoot]

It’s really rare, as the requirements to do seller fulfilled prime are steep. Even if a seller gets accepted to seller fulfilled prime it’s almost always more expensive than doing fba, and amazon watches it like a hawk. If this really was a case of seller fulfilled prime it’s even possible that that this one failure would have the seller blocked from seller fulfilled prime until they submit an action plan.

Edit: I mean it’s more expensive for the seller since amazon gets such great discounts on shipping. And, edit again, I am pretty sure it would still say ships and sold by whoever, not ships by amazon in the case of seller fulfilled prime.

A majority of stuff we order from Amazon (we have prime) is FedEx'ed to a local USPS location and delivered by the mailman. 90+% is delivered within 2 days of placing the order.

It happens when you don't read the fine print in the item description. I once bought a $3 shoe polish, and ended up waiting a month to get one from India with a sell-by date that was two years old.

When an item has a bunch of sellers, very often Amazon will show the cheapest by default, and give you that one when you hit "add to cart" instead of the Prime-eligible / Fulfilled by Amazon one.

So always proceed carefully and read everything twice. You can always check out the "other sellers" link to see if anybody's closer or has their stock in an Amazon warehouse.

Shoe polish? Did you order floppy disks, and dot-matrix printer ribbons too?

No. Those are obsolete. Leather shoes are not.

Do you even adult, bro?

Yeah this thread was created because of one order possibly not arriving in two days, with the added claim of false advertising. It probably would have fit better in the "What first world problems did you have today" thread. But I guess all is fair game in OT.

LOL. Who ever owns "Shoes" any more. Unless you're in the military, and have to go to some formal shindig.

Dot matrix printers are still being used.
