So as I know several of you have bought from Amazon. A friend of mine has a few questions and I hope someone of you can answer them.

(disclaimer: I don't know if these can be found somewhere on the site and if he looked for it, he just asked me about it so here I am.)

1. When you order multiple things from Amazon, do you receive them all at once in a big box? Or do you receive them in several boxes on different dates (or the same date)
2. When you buy at Amazon do you deal with them or with the different sellers.
3. And he would like to know if there is any way to get discounts.

Thanks in advance for answering.

Bless your face, if you sneezed while reading this thread bless you. Peace off.

2. You deal with amazon.. but most items are from other sellers.
1. Different boxes when ive bought from them.
3. Err, i've had vouchers before.. but i dont think thats going to help. So probs not.

Dont ask why i answered 2 before 1.

1 With most order sites you get all at once, even if you have to wait longer so all ordered items can be in stock. Had that with H&M, YesStyle, YesAsia and Mix-Style.
Think it's pretty logical really.
They also sent everything in one box/bag for convenience.

2 And mostly the website you order from will order the wanted items from external companies, and then when it's in it will be shipped out.

3 And mostly it's vouchers. for discounts, but they're sometimes confusing to get.

But is Amazon even available for dutchies?

well there's no dutch amazon, but I've used the German and British version before so it's not like they won't deliver abroad...

Friend isn't Dutch =p but yeah I do remember not being able to buy stuff, maybe he can though.

Thanks for answering guys, appreciate it.

Answers above are not accurate, coming from experience:



...both as an international (US) and national (Canada) buyer.

1) Depends on the shipping you choose
- When buy, it asks you if you want to wait until everything is ready to ship in one box or to ship separately.
- If you pick cheap shipping, sometimes you don't have the choice and they will send you whatever is cheaper for them.

2) On every item's page, it will show the seller. If you buy "from amazon" it will be a better experience, overall. It's usually quicker and tracking always works.

example of something I bought:



You will see it shipped from Amazon. Fun fact: I bought this from the US site because they didn't have any on the Canadian site. They charged me duty but after I received the item, they refunded the duty back onto my credit card.

example of something I bought:

This watch was bought from MrWatch. It took longer, there was no tracking, and if you have to do any refunds/complaints you need to deal directly with the seller.



Most items are from amazon. You usually only buy from other sellers when you buy used or amazon is sold out.

3) As far as I know, no. They might have a coupon/code system, not sure.

Wow thanks alot dom xD Friend says thanks too, that answered his questions <3

Trying to work out what you said differently to me.. apart from posting tons of images and explaining more.

By far, most items are NOT from third party sellers and items are usually shipped in the same box to save on shipping.

It depends what your buying.

Check that page -> http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search/ref=s ... 3Acreatine

EVERY single item is from a third party seller.

And i said.. when I bought multiple items from amazon they came in different boxes.

With the shipping and having items delivered on different days, it only happens if you order from Amazon and a seller, or 2 sellers. But I think the majority of people have said that already.
