But without Amazon doing their own QC there is no way to say it is the same product. You should at least be able to see reviews based on the supplier and pick the supplier you will be fulfilled by. But I suspect that would ruin their whole 2-day/1-day shipping bit.
- ikeboy 7y agoThey do QC: sellers that have too many complaints get kicked off.
- noodlesUK 7y agoBut you can’t identify which seller your product came from. That’s the whole problem here.
- shawnz 7y agoBut when you return the defective product, Amazon can see what seller it came from.
- beerandt 7y agoOnly if they only purchased one.
- 4A414B56 7y agoCounterfeit products are still a huge problem on their platform. Great QC.
- MertsA 7y agoAre you sure about that? I thought part of the whole incentive for commingled inventory was that Amazon no longer kept track of it separately per vendor and just lumped it all into the same bin without a unique serial number.
- ikeboy 7y agoAm sure and posted the link elsewhere on this thread
- nostoc 7y agoIf they wait for complaints, that's not amazon doing the QC, it's the client.
- journalctl 7y agoAh yes, like how if a drug company poisons enough people then the market will make them go out of business. You know, because people died.
- thaumasiotes 7y ago> I suspect that would ruin their whole 2-day/1-day shipping bit. They are no longer offering 1-day shipping. When I signed up for prime, one of the benefits was discounted 1-day shipping on items for which the free 2-day shipping wasn't fast enough. I recently had need of that, and learned that the options are now (1) "prime shipping", with no particular service guarantee. There is no second option. I contacted customer service multiple times asking why I couldn't choose 1-day shipping and was told "because the item is out of stock. There is only one item left in stock, that means the item is out of stock".
- crooked-v 7y agoI've seen 1-day and even same-day shipping on a variety of items, so I suspect it's determined by some arcane combination of user location and item logistics.
- chc 7y agoThey used to offer guaranteed two-day shipping and a paid upgrade to one-day shipping; now they just have "Prime Shipping" as the parent said, and what "Prime Shipping" means varies from item to item and time to time. It can mean one-day. I don't think I've ever seen same-day shipping, but I'd imagine I just don't live close enough to a fulfillment center.
