Sauromosis Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I tried to get more Grand Piano and NES and they cancelled my order for being over the limit from my original orders. They are now tracking it by household and across a time greater than 4 weeks. I can't duplicate orders on wife's account any more or they cancel them for being over the limit. I miss the old days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are stolen credit cards being used to dropship it from Lego so the $10 difference in cost doesn't matter? What's the play here? It looks like it is from Amazon and not some shady third-party seller.

There is a thing with Amazon called Multi-Channel Fulfillment. A 3rd Party Seller (and yes, I'm one of those "shady" third party sellers, as is 75% of Amazon) can have stock in Amazon's warehouse and fulfill orders from eBay, Etsy or wherever and use Amazon's shipping. You have the choice of including a generic invoice or one that identifies it as coming from Amazon. The service used to be real reasonable but I haven't used it in 3-4 years so I can't speak intelligently about that now.

When I speak of shady third-party sellers I am referring to sellers such as Toycentric that have no inventory and just drop ship from Ebay auctions. I'm wondering where the money is made off this sale if Amazon is selling it for $40 and it costs $50 to have it drop shipped from LEGO.

When I asked this question I didn't see any way this transaction makes money without fraud involved. Zaphoid is the only person to explain that LEGO has a deal with Amazon that allows them to drop ship at a lower cost. That's news to me.

I believe that they're only when I choose frustration free though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauromosis Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 How has Target been lately with multiple orders of 1 Lego set to get the 10 dollars back? Anyone seeing cancelled orders? Any hard limit I should avoid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keymomachine Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 The single Taskmaster I ordered isn't supposed to arrive until the 5th? Seemed like nothing Lego had a delivery date on Amazon before the 3rd when I looked yesterday. Weird. Maybe Covid-19 related upper midwest problems.

Mine is supposed to be delivered on Monday, the 2nd. I had my daughter order one for me a half hour later. Hers is being delivered on Sunday, the 1st. We live about 10 miles apart. Make no sense at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
