I did that for an item where the price had gone up to gouging territory (k-cups from 60cents/cup to well over $6/cup), and outlined my concerns: anxiety about subscribe and save prices, reluctance to Alexa order, and refusal of Dash buttons because I couldn't be assured of fair or stable pricing.
Amazon's response was:
"With sellers on Amazon, we do allow them to sell their products for the price they feel is fair."
- ikeboy 8y agoFYI, 3p sellers through subscribe and save have prices locked in. They can raise prices but people subscribing will not pay more. Not the case for amazon selling directly, though.
- catchmeifyoucan 8y agoAmazon's response isn't too outrageous. I completely agree that it is unfair to the consumer, but it isn't unheard of. Unless those k-cups are a monopoly owned by Amazon, they can't really regulate prices for them. If gas prices rise, I can't call the CEO of Exxon to bring them down. Same thing applies for Uber Surge pricing. That's just how our economy works these days.
