I filter by prime more for a consistent return policy. Considering there is so much fake crap on Amazon, buying non-Prime items that don't follow the normal return policy can be risky.
- happymellon 3y agoDoes the Prime but shipped yourself get to distort any other policies? Hopefully not, if this really is just a programme to allow bulky items to fall under the same sort of policies as Amazon, including shipping and returns, then I guess I don't really have a problem with it. They are just paying a 2% fee to get the Prime badge.
- pests 3y agoWhy do you assume bulky items? Right now anyone can get the Prime label as long as they meet certain shipping guidelines.
- happymellon 3y agoBecause that's what the article says? > These merchants often sell bulkier items such as furniture that don’t mesh well with Amazon’s highly automated warehouses, which are designed to mostly handle smaller products. > Amazon launched Seller Fulfilled Prime in 2015 as a way to expand inventory without overloading its fulfillment centers.
- pests 3y ago> often sell So it sounds like they sell a range of stuff and bulky stuff is sold "often". I don't see the point of bringing this up in the article or limiting the comment to it.
