Keep in mind merchants like the one I work for sell on both Amazon and Walmart, and we have price parity +/- a penny across the marketplaces.
A lot of people think Amazon or Walmart are shipping what they purchased. Often, they aren't. Even if you see the stupid prime badge, it still might be us with seller-fulfilled prime.
I totally agree that there are other venues that are sometimes better, but it is good to be aware that there is more nuance. It is funny when a customer tells us they are going to buy elsewhere, and we see their name pop up on another one of our many stores. Yeah, you really stuck it to us!
