*They are not understanding how Amazon resellers works
Which is very much the way Amazon set it up to work.
Hell, I understand Amazon extremely well, yet still got confused when a Prime item that wasn't FBA never showed tracking information (stuck in Preparing for Shipment), had wife email Jeff Bezos and not more than 10 minutes later the damned thing arrived. The whole time I was thinking "WTF, Amazon?" wondering why it was taking so long to fulfill the order, all because I didn't notice the absence of three words on the product page.
So yeah, point of the anecdote: even veteran Amazon shoppers can forget how the site works.

Prime item that wasnt FBA = MF Prime.
Appears there was an error from the seller uploading tracking info. If that occurs frequently (more than 2%..? of orders) the seller will no longer be able to offer MF Prime.
Your email to Jeff had no effect whatsoever.
I assume your understanding of Amazon is from a consumer perspective only?

You're right, though I did get a $30 credit out of it.

Yes, but I'm generally aware of how Amazon works behind the scenes as well. I know the difference between FBA and MF Prime, but even so I had managed to overlook it until the item arrived and my wife had already sent the email.
