Since I&#8217;m a member of Amazon.com Prime, I decided to filter the results to only items eligible for Prime&#8217;s free shipping, and clicked on the link shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"153\" height=\"62\" src=\"https:\/\/wysz.com\/wyszdom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/prime-filter-1.png\" alt=\"Shipping Option: Any Shipping Option: Prime Eligible (1)\" class=\"wp-image-922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wysz.com\/wyszdom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/prime-filter-1.png 153w, https:\/\/wysz.com\/wyszdom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/prime-filter-1-150x62.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 153px) 100vw, 153px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you would expect, the list of results was filtered down to one item (from a list of one, actually, but that&#8217;s not important). However, the item listed didn&#8217;t have the comforting Prime logo in the description. I clicked through to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Riedel-Large-Microfiber-Crystal-Cloth\/dp\/B000F2SRFS\/\">product page<\/a>, and sure enough, I saw the following text:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>This item is not eligible for Amazon Prime when purchased from CentralChef. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">See more buying choices<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Confused, and convinced that Amazon had a bug (hey, I understand that generating high-quality search results is hard), I sent them a message. Surprisingly, I got a non-canned reply just a few hours later, on a Saturday night. They explained that the item is in fact sold by not only CentralChef (not Prime eligible), but also by Amazon.com itself. In order to buy from Amazon, I needed to click on the &#8220;See more buying choices&#8221; link. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/offer-listing\/B000F2SRFS\">From there<\/a>, I was able to choose Amazon as the merchant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there you go. If you come across an item that at first doesn&#8217;t seem to be eligible for Prime, always double-check by clicking on that &#8220;buying choices&#8221; link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently searched for [riedel crystal cloth] on Amazon.
