Did Amazon remove lower price form?

[ob1ob]

I don't see the "Tell us about a lower price" option on Amazon's product pages anymore. It used to be listed along with the "Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?". Personally I simply buy from the lower priced competitor, but this was a nice feature for those who found a lower price elsewhere but prefer shopping on Amazon.com. When did Amazon make this change and is there another way to report lower prices now? Just curious.

amazon.ca still has it but its gone on .com

I noticed that the other day too and it appears that they did remove that feature.

Wow, not a good sign. :/

Yes they did. I posted this here a day ago as well.

I was going to make a separate thread for it but didn't think it warranted one.

Now I messages AMZ on FB about this and they said that it was under or near the

"Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?"

I clicked and looked and didn't see it. So either they are lying which isn't something new and or only certain items have it. I tried three movies and none of them had it. I suggest everyone that has FB or Twitter question them about it. As it is stupid not to have that anymore. Again not that it matters as I buy from other places but sometimes it is good to have them as a option.

Amazon has been shite for years. Just keeps getting worse and worse. They have been dead to me since 2009.

Just wait till Amazon has "store brand food".

I've asked about this(long before anybody mentioned it in a thread) before Christmas.

Amazon bases price match(and the lower price tool) on sell-through.

Same, exact, criteria used to decide what goes "prime members only".

Had this happen to a coffee brand I was getting from Amazon. Was in my subscribe and save. Then it dropped out of SnS. I then bought it one at a time using the price match tool(based on the prices I was paying). Then it went "prime only"(without the price match).

Then it disappeared altogether. I googled it...and apparently the company discontinued the flavor.

So...lots of things contribute here.

So don't use the AMZ lockers for shipping lol.
I tried this and if the lockers are full after 3 tries UPS ships it back. It wouldn't have been so bad if the item I had shipped wasn't OOP and they can't send a replacement. Pretty crazy...

I didn't realize they still had Amazon Lockers. It isn't available where I live yet they built a DC in the same city. Amazon uses USPS for most orders and UPS for backorders. Amazon still ships things where USPS will deliver on Sundays even with weekend delivery turned off. One my jobs they don't post the schedule till noon on Saturday when the new schedule starts on Sunday!!! Gotta love the people that makes the schedule posting policy have a set schedule Mon-Fri. Sorry for my Joxx style rant.

I was posting about this earlier (including some threads here) about a week prior the Black Friday shopping start. AT the time I was hoping they had simply suspended it during the holiday season but alas when it didn't come back after X-Mas I knew it was doomed. For a long time after that, Amazon still had their HELP section referencing it which I found amusing since there isn't really a place to fix or correct things i just muttered anti-Amazon rhetoric everywhere and went on about things.

The biggest problem with Amazon is they match other vendors' lower prices, yet do not originate low prices themselves.

So this was never resolved? Is there no way to submit a cheaper price?

on some items (i skimmed through some blu-rays and didn't see these options) that have a "product information" section, all the way at the end under "feedback," there's the old "tell us about a lower price" link: http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B002RRH23W/

You aren't still seeing it on there are you??? - It's no where to be found on that page for me.

...Wait a minute was that a clever micro marketing campaign designed to get us to buy the shelf?

Way off topic, but but if you bought any, how do you like it/them?
I did take a look at it. I wouldn't plan on CDs, just Blu-rays or DVDs. But at the loss of some shelf space, that person with the sagging shelves could really cut & stain some center supports to sure up that center section and stop the sag.

He's right as the "tell us about a lower price" link is on that page.

In regards to the shelving, although they have new colors now, I've had one of those for roughly 14 years albeit in Oak. It's held up OK, although it's not the best quality, just the standard Sauder/Bush paper pressboard and not solid wood or MDF.

so, strangely, the latest firefox 45.0.1 (top screenshot, with adblockplus disabled) has this newer "add to cart" area but does not have the "lower price" link, while ie11 (bottom screenshot, with no ad blocking) has the old one, but DOES have the "lower price" link. this is on a windows 7 system with 1080p monitors, not sure if that matters.



as for the quality, agree with rdodolak; i immediately loaded it up with digibooks in the bottom, an entire row of steels above that, and a bunch of double/triple features, plus a bunch more multi-disc sets piled on top, for maybe around a year now, and it's holding up fine with not much sagging at all. the peg spacing is not quite right for blu-rays, such that there's room for another two horizontally in each shelf space, so i filled in that way, too, as i'm currently space-constrained. it's fine enough that i'll probably pick up another if the price ever drops to $30 or $35 again

I've noticed Amazon tends to randomly test changes over a long period of time. Sometimes the site will have a different layout for a week or two and then it will revert back to the current layout. It might be driven based on the browser cookies.
