Yep. Sad to say, but I buy pretty much anything of value from someplace other than Amazon anymore. In part, it is harder and harder to find specific brands that I like and have used for years there. Camera gear is B&H. I've even been venturing out to stores again recently. Crazy times.
Thanks a lot. I could have done that if I weren't so lazy. Interesting reading and I'm certain it is just the tip of the iceberg (but that is my 57 years of involvement in law enforcement making me cynical). Like several others on here, I usually go to B&H for camera needs. I appreciate the way Canon Rumors keeps me informed.
They don't co-mingle? Searching, I see recent articles for sellers discussing whether to use Amazon's co-mingle option for selling... I can see info that the rules changed (for media items such as DVDs it looks like) after complaints by companies like Sony but not that they every stopped. Do you know where there is info about that, I'm curious about the details if you know them.
I was told that by someone I trust who sells on Amazon. So definitely anecdotal. As I said, batteries I buy from B&H, things like memory cards and filters, too.
I buy my things from B&H or Adorama as well.
