Unless I know the retailer, like Horizon Hobbies, or some other name, I only order items marked as Prime. This way I know I am dealing direct with Amazon and not some third party. With all the fake junk out there, not taking the chance, at least if marked Prime it is backed up by Amazon.
However, Amazon recently stopped price matching, even on their own site. I forgot what it was I bought, but about 2 days after buying it, even before I received it, the price dropped $100. Needless to say I wasn't very happy about that, and the card I used did not have price match guarantee service.
As far as shipping, Fedex is the WORST! I had bought a Laser chiller on Ebay and when they delivered it, we were home, in the house, with a working doorbell. I go to check the mail and there is a delivery notice tag on the door, 1 foot from the working doorbell! I had to sign for it, in person, which is why they didn't just set the package by the door. They were supposed to deliver it the following Friday, and I waited ALL stinking day outside so I wouldn't miss it, then at 6:30 at night get a text notice saying rescheduled deliver, no one home. I immediately got on the phone and chewed them out since I was outside all day and not one Fedex truck drove by. They would deliver it Saturday, o my wife waited for it while I had to go get some components to finish installing the laser exhaust. When it finally did get delivered the box looked like it fell off the truck several times. It was full of holes and dented corners. Thankfully the packaging prevented damage to the case, but just to be safe I opened the case up and found the starting capacitor for the compressor was busted off. I glued it back in place, and haven't had any issues with it, but that was the worst delivery to date.
