My wife bought a Keurig coffee maker on Amazon for a Christmas gift. When it arrived, the box was mailed directly from JCPenny.com. I looked on their website and the coffee maker was $35 cheaper. We learned our lessons about dropshipping and only looking at Amazon for products.
Amazon hasn’t been the cheapest for things in a long time. There’s a few segments where they are competitive, but it’s generally only small things that are cheaper to ship. The more people that learn this the better.
There was a time when you could have kitty litter delivered to your home for less than it cost at a local store, but that hasn’t been the case for a almost a decade.
Yeah, whereas I used to have dog food shipped from Amazon because it was cheap and convenient, now I pretty much only do it for the convenience, because it’s priced the same as Petsmart and Petco.
I think I’m gonna wait a few days before telling them no. Or maybe just not respond. I’m sure as hell not changing or removing my negative feedback. Clearly my review is worth more to them than the cost of the item.

Small items have the shipping bulit in, so there’s nothing useful under $10

So you returned it and re-bought it from jcpenney.com, right?
Nah, it was a last-minute gift for her mom, and my wife didn’t want to go empty-handed. The bad guys won that day.

Just take the item and run. Underhanded tactics deserve underhanded tactics
