There are two time when I will use Amazon nowadays:
1) If there is an official store there
Anker is a good example of this. It seems like Amazon doesn't commingle inventory if there is an official store.
2) If I want something faster than Alibaba/Aliexpress
Quite often I can find the exact Chinesium equivalent on Amazon and I get the benefit of returnability if what is advertised is completely out of whack.
This has to be costing Amazon money, but, it's their funeral.

- lupire 5y agoNo. Amazon doesn't commingle inventory when... the manufacturer doesn't sell through any other channels, so there is no one to commingle with.

- HWR_14 5y agoAs I understand it, Amazon charges a fee to avoid commingling. Any seller can pay it and have their items isolated.
