I assume Amazon operates like most retailers in that they would be buying a certain type of shipping service. Often dangerous goods shipping is at a different rate.
I would guess that most likely there were just products in their system that were missing a flag for dangerous goods.
- Symbiote 10y agoThe article I read said the database of dangerous goods was not adequately maintained. I can't find it now. The BBC item has more detail though: http://www.bbc.com/news/business-37454587 http://www.bbc.com/news/business-37454587
- robryan 10y agoEven more complicated is the Fulfilled By Amazon stuff they do for 3rd parties, where they can often be relying on the 3rd party to provide an accurate assessment for an item that they don't sell themselves.
