Florence & Sheridan brand heated blanket ordered on May 25, 2022. "Free Delivery" and "Free Returns" clearly and unequivocally was advertised. Amazon invoiced and charged my credit card for UPS shipping at $13.69 or 39% of the blanket's cost. Customer service declined any responsibility for the error or false advertising, referring all recourse to the seller.
My sales agreement was with Amazon and did not include any provision for shipping. Amazon billed an authorized amount and is in violation of its sales contract. Although Amazon initiated and collected on an improper billing, it declined any responsibility for it. Refusal to intercede directly on behalf of the buyer for an improper billing is unacceptable. It is unreasonable to charge a consumer directly and improperly and then hide behind a third party seller.
As for the third party seller, instigation of a faulty billing is sloppy at best and fraudulent at worst.

according to what is posted in Ripoff Report #1515346. Anyone can type in 1515346 and read that Ripoff Report, which was submitted by John.
It appears that shipping costs are hurting the bottom line of many corporations in America and they need to pass the costs to consumers in order to maintain profitability. Maybe future generations will learn from all the mistakes that have been made over the past several decades in America.
