I have found Amazon to be very diligent attempting to keep the customer satisfied, almost always going above and beyond.......unless that has changed recently?
They might treat Prime customers better than non-prime

Cancel the order...Ordered these on Jan 8: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B097C98LCT?ie=UTF8
Still nothing. Hasn't shipped.
Special cost was $33.74
I am thinking the seller won't honor the deal. How long should I wait?
How do I contact the seller?
I got an email. I am letting it ride:Lol me too.

What is an "FBA", as in FBA marketplace sellersAmazon co-mingles their own inventory with that of third-party FBA marketplace sellers

Mistakes happen. That's not what this topic is about though. If (3) sellers offer an item for sale, one of the first steps to list it is you enter a valid identifier, like the product SKU. When sellers ship their items to Amazon, Amazon puts those with the same identifier in the same "bin". They really have limited resources when it comes to verifying that the item inside the box is what it's supposed to be. Blame scam or shady sellers for this, not Amazon.Bottom line: If highly motivated Amazon employees don't feel like looking for your exact part, they can send out any old crap they come across in their warehouse.
I don't think it's that simple--there should be a WMOS system that tells a robot where to get the part. Modern warehouses can be 1-3 mil sq feet, it's not like the employee knows there's one on the rack in AA 28' up, and another in AE 39' up, and decides to grab it wherever they want to....Got it, thanks.

actually the honda (genuine) parts I've gotten from Amazon (shipped/sold by) were parts Amazon bought from a Honda dealer! The distribution code sticker was still on the box where it showed the Honda dealer (shipped from) to Amazon (shipped to). So they're not buying directly from Honda but they are getting them from Honda dealers.Amazon = AliExpress quality products at brick and mortar store prices
I don't think Honda or Toyota is going to supply their genuine parts to Amazon or some Amazon reseller.
I know what you are referring to. I bought my used Lexus from Buick GMC, and doing a brake job with OE parts was part of the deal. They returned all the old parts in the Lexus boxes, which had stickers showing the name of the Lexus dealer down the road from them. I'm sure if I hadn't insisted on OE, they could do Worldpac and get all the OEM or even aftermarket. And also no idea what but they would be heavily discounted being B2B, not retail.actually the honda (genuine) parts I've gotten from Amazon (shipped/sold by) were parts Amazon bought from a Honda dealer!

and before someone says buy from the online Honda dealers.. Amazon's price was 1/4 of even the online Honda dealers! at that price I had to take the chance, you kidding me?!
hey that's actually nice that GMC dealer used actual Lexus parts! ya I agree they probably did get a nice wholesale discount being B2B.. it's crazy some of the discounts a business gets at the wholesale level!I know what you are referring to.

I've noticed some of that too, even when you factor in the shipping prices directly from a manufacturer vs Amazon (W/prime). I've seen some crazy prices at Amazon for things, I'm thinking their pricing algorithm program is seeing 3rd party sellers raise prices so Amazon does for their pricing too.. But buyer beware is right!I use to buy Ubiquiti Unifi network products from Amazon but then realized they were more than directly from Ubiquiti. At first I thought it was because of supply problems and Amazon was more because Ubiquiti was out of stock. That may be it in some cases but other times it's not. They are in stock at Ubiquiti and Amazon has them listed for more. In many cases it might say on Amazon regular price $150, your price $120, you safe $30. The list price on the Ubiquiti website was $99.
As they say, buyer beware.
IIRC, Amazon sellers can pay an extra $1 so that their listing is branded with the Prime logo and then the seller can send it from their location.actually the honda (genuine) parts I've gotten from Amazon (shipped/sold by) were parts Amazon bought from a Honda dealer!
