Good luck.
If it's not 8 bottles I send it back. Would be pretty misleading but it comes strait from the sta-bil store and it's the old label so maybe old stock they're trying to push.
 
But this Amazon ad from the same retailer (Homestead Hardware) also shows 32 oz. for $35 and a different picture:

Not according to your link - Homestead Hardware is the seller. I have a feeling a return is in your future.
I bit, but your post made me suspicious, so I had a quick chat:

Just got the shipping information: 3.5 pounds /
That means they sent only one bottle /
We'll see how that ends.....

Everything exacts a cost. Don't complain when you and others try to take advantage of a mistake by an online retailer, especially Amazon, and you have to put in extra work. Sometimes it works and other times it doesn't, it is gambling really.

I think it is clear that the "person" you are talking to is not in America.

Good luck on the purchase.

None of us forced them to sell it. It’s not gambling. They listed AND sold it. Who says it’s a mistake? I just bought several bottles of Techron for about 1/3rd the cost not long ago. Bought all 18 they had.
 
I guess the only thing better than 8 bottles for $37.91 is a free bottle. They refunded me already and it's arriving tomorrow.

The procedure for storing a boat used to be to fill the tank before storage and add fuel stabilizer. That is not the case when storing an engine with ethanol E10 gasoline. If you have that fuel in the tank, you want to run it as low as you can and leave it. E10 is hydroscopic and it sucks in water. The less E10 you have in it then the less water it will absorb. In the spring, you fill it with a fresh load of E10 because nothing absorbs the water and cleans out the sludge better than fresh E10. Even in the summer, the last thing you do before you take it out is put a load of fresh gas on top of whatever is already in the tank to absorb the water. Of course, adding a stabilizer as well would seem very prudent, but remember to only fill the tank right before you are going to use it to clean and absorb the water out of any old fuel that you left in the tank.

With boats, motorcycle motorcycles and small engines that sit with ethanol fuel, then you need to know this trick. Initially, as fuel rots, it turns to a jelly and that jelly clogs the main jets. (Runs lean) Before you take things apart and clean them try to get the motor running the best you can and rev it. While it is reved up choke it out with a rag over the carb or carbs. Do it a couple of times. That creates a high vacuum in the carburetor and it will often pull that jelly through the jets and the thing will run right again. Small engine shops make a fortune cleaning carbs when all they do is dump in fresh E10, rev it up and choke the carb with a rag. Presto! They got it running right in 5 minutes and charge 1/2 day labor. Running lean is running hot and you will burn up an engine. Running a two stroke lean is less gas and less oil and they burn up even faster.
 
If you fill the tank there’s no room for water to form in the first place. Empty tanks give room for condensation and can let tanks rust.

We'll see how that goes; mine is out for delivery too - but currently in Santa Fe, about 50 miles away from me… so who knows when it'll actually show up!
