Amazon carved a good niche for themselves by pretending you're not buying from them but rather some "vendor". That's not right IMHO. The seller is Amazon; where they source their stuff and what subcontractors they have is their business. It's like EBay takes more responsibility for products you buy, even though that is explicitly a site for matching random buyers and random sellers. Not that i use ebay much either.
