35.99+free shipping Or 25.99+9.99 shipping
Always take the free shipping, even if prices are (mostly) the same. If you have to return something, you don't always get a refund on the shipping costs.
Ohh, free shipping. click
Also, if you get refund you don't typically get shipping refunded. Definitely worth that penny here.
€15.99 for three pizza with free delivery and a €3 discount for picking it up yourself. It's s weird way to say €12.99 and €3 for delivery
Where do you live that you get 3 pizzas for 13€?? That's basically supermarket frozen pizza price over here...
In the past, son. That's prices from just after the dot com boom. Where I live now, they don't really do delivery.
Recently on Amazon: $10.99
+ free shipping if you have prime, which I don't
so + $4.99
Meanwhile on eBay: $5.99
+ $4.99 shipping
After trying to return stuff on Amazon and eBay you will understand. I've been paying for prime 5+ years at this point, so much peace of mind.
So far I haven't noticed a real difference between the two marketplaces (partly because Amazon has gotten worth), but I'm sure millage may vary.
Not that anyone asked, but my greatest frustration lately is when I order something on ebay and it shows up in an Amazon box. F THOSE COMPANIES
Companies selling on both, companies reusing used Amazon boxes, or am I missing something entirely?
I'm just the consumer so I don't know for sure, but I believe these are cases of the company sells on both platforms but fulfills all orders via Amazon, which (a) defeats my purpose of shopping on eBay and (b) is against eBay's rules, I believe.
