That was weird shipping

Bought something on eBay.  Because it was available local I bought from that seller.  Went to check tracking and find it was delivered yesterday by Bluecare Express.  Who da berk is Bluecare Express?

  Went looking and hidden right inside my fence is a Amazon Prime package.  Yep that was my EBay order.  Is Amazon using EBay now?

It looks like some Amazon sellers also sell stuff on eBay. They will use a third party logistics company, like BlueCare Express to manage the tracking. I found lots of horror stories though.

I don't think you have enough tabs open

All tabs are important and must stay in place.  That's an average day.  You should see the days I'm really going down a rabbit hole.

In reply to Stampie (FS) :

You don't have enough tabs until you have so many that they won't all fit on the screen and most of them are just inaccessible except by the keyboard shortcuts. CTRL+TAB and CTRL+SHIFT+TAB to cycle through them btw.

Also that's pretty weird shipping, I haven't had that but I had a weird one from Amazon today. I ordered 2 items, they sent them separately, both arrived today about 5 hours apart, delivered by different trucks. (one was a rental, one was Amazon branded) I know they probably came from different warehouses, but I would have expected both of them get to the regional distribution place or whatever and then ride the same truck to my house. Or just be delivered on different days.

I guess they just have enough volume of stuff to deliver in this area that they can send multiple drivers out per day.

Thats me 10 open windows , 100s of open tabs.......and no way to download the URLs that I can figure out ......  OK , I am using the Brave Browser !

Thanks for the tip ....

Could it be arbitrage? I've heard it done where prime members will list items on eBay that are on Amazon Prime. People buy it on eBay with free shipping, seller buys it on Prime and has it shipped to the buyer. They never touch or own the product, they just play a middleman and collect the difference, and give up 10% or whatever their fee is nowadays.

Is the same product available on Prime?

I try to avoid Amazon but I'm sure it is.  It's a commonly available item.  Never thought about someone doing that.  Makes sense but this was one of the lower prices on eBay also.  Makes me think.

I had it happen to me before, it was a mind trip, as I had been looking at both amazon and ebay, ebay was cheaper, so ordered from them.  Received amazon box with shipment, figure the seller sells through both outlets, free prime shipping is fine by me.

You were correct Sir.  This morning I was taking the box out to recycling and noticed a gift receipt from Amazon.  The world we live in.  Just wait until they get the computers doing high frequency trading between Amazon and EBay.
