      Yep. That’s “FBA”, Fulfillment by Amazon.

      There’s no way for a consumer to avoid that if the seller opts in. But do tell the seller why you won’t buy from them again when this happens!

        Here in a week fba will be much much much much much much much much much cheaper for small sellers.

        I’m at the point I wish yall would understand how bad shipping has gotten. Like, it’s bad and it’s about to double in how bad it is.
