Yeah. A variation on my own story: http://seliger.com/2017/01/09/tools-continued-careful-buy-am... . It's definitely changed my buying habits. For example, I just got a Fujitsu SnapScan... from Office Depot. There's no way I'm buying a moderately expensive electronic item from Amazon anymore.

Agreed that Amazon should make it clearer when it is the actual seller, but, in your example, you knowingly bought from a third party. Why would this affect your future purchases from Amazon when Amazon is the seller?

What I dislike is when something has prime listed on it and when you look closer it's not even sold or shipped by amazon. Just some company that "meets the requirements". I use amazon's prime because their warehouse in 30 minutes away and I get stuff same day or overnight.

I used to get my stuff that quickly, now they just wait a day or two before shipping it so it's still 2 days before it arrives.

Yeah, they've been doing this forever with super saver shipping. They literally will not ship a product for 5 days if a warehouse is close.

Commingled inventory means that Amazon can sell and ship a knockoff sent in by a third party seller.
