Its all the same, you search for something on Amazon, find it, and buy. Not obvious if it is a 3rd party seller or no. It feels like all the same thing.
You can see on the right side of the screen who the seller is though? It is annoying there isn't a proper filter but you can kind of use the qualified for free shipping filter to filter out third parties.
Basically if you filter by "prime delivery" you're sure it comes from amazon
You can be sure it comes out of an Amazon warehouse. And that's not the same thing.
Although frankly, it should be. I don't know how they've got this cushy position where they take items from others, store them, and then ship them out for enormous fees without taking on any retailer responsibility.
By having a convenient website that everybody knows about?
Yeah, but what I mean is Tesco and Walmart are a convenient stores that everyone knows about, but if I buy an Ali Express quality fire hazard from those, they'd get into trouble for it.
While Amazon will ask you to take it up with UFTNGDNH Ltd, who conveniently can't be contacted any more, but here's CVBXDFXE Inc selling the exact same items under a different "brand".
