Will you shop more at Whole Foods given Amazon's price cuts on over 500 items today?
Search: Whole Foods restricted ingredients.It’s a lengthy list. Their premise is that we don’t have to scan the ingredient list on products for something we hope to avoid. They do it.What they won’t sell likely more important than the selection of organics. Do think Walmart would go to the effort to have some organics if Whole Foods hadn’t proven that people are interested down to the very depth of their pocketbooks to have food that nourishes.I hope Amazon’s approach of sell anything even from outside sources, doesn’t mess with this integral component of the Whole Food business policy.Changing the restricted ingredients isn’t worth 10 cents off.
How does Amazon's pricing work? If the price of a book continues to drop before it’s available, does that mean people are ordering enough for Amazon to cut the price, or not ordering enough that Amazon has to lower the price?
Amazon's pricing strategy is an interesting one. Basically, they've implemented an incredibly advanced and successful dynamic pricing strategy. Dynamic pricing gives retailers the ability to change their prices in accordance with changes in the market, such as consumer demand or competitor prices. Amazon identifies the products that are highly viewed and most frequently price compared and make sure they have the lowest price in the market. From there, they price higher on the complementary, or add-on. products. Think of it like cutting the price on a television, and then increasing the price on HDMI cables.The company has garnered quite a reputation for their flexible pricing strategies. Many news outlets have reported price changes on items as often as every 2.5 million times a day. The algorithm that Amazon uses to do this is remarkably advanced, and has made dynamic pricing a new norm in the eCommerce space.That's where a company like Wiser comes in (full disclosure, I'm the CEO). Wiser is designed to give every retailer the "wisdom of Amazon". What does this mean? Simply put, it gives retailers of all sizes the ability to collect seasonal data, competitor pricing data, and more to keep up with and even win sales over retailers such as Amazon. Amazon has mastered data-driven retail, but that doesn't mean they need to have all the fun. Dynamic pricing is available to retailers of all sizes, and can keep them from being undercut.
How does Jet.com offer lower prices than Amazon?
Jet’s starting prices typically match the lowest prices in the market, but the way we save you money is by finding opportunities to reduce the costs that are typically passed on to consumers. We cut shipping and fulfillment expenses by showing customers how to build larger baskets of products that can come from a single warehouse in close proximity to where they live. To give you an example of just how significant these cost savings can be (using FedEx Ground and Home Delivery rates as reference): Shipping one 5-pound item across the country costs $11.70, but shipping a 25-pound box (of five 5-pound items) to within 150 miles of the warehouse only costs $11.66. If the retail price of the 5-pound item is $15.00, then shipping is 78% of revenue — but if the retail price of the items in the 25-pound box is $75.00 in total, then shipping is only 15.5% of revenue.FedEx Ground and FedEx Home Delivery® U.S. Rates: Zones 2–8That’s a massive difference. As you shop, we’re looking through every warehouse in our network across the country, trying to find the one closest to you that has everything you want so that we can ship it all in one box and share those cost savings with you. That’s why we don’t identify the retailer who will be fulfilling your order until after you pick out your cart: If you chose the retailer like you did on a traditional marketplace, there’s a very low probability that your order would be optimized in this way. But now imagine that, as you’re shopping, we’re showing you the savings that will accrue by choosing one item over another in real time based on what’s already in your cart at that moment. By doing that, we’re steering you towards the most efficient possible order — which is to say, the one that will save you the most money.
Is it safe to order herbalife on Amazon?
I know several people that have tried Herbalife, Isagenix, Nanci, Nutrilite, Healthy People, Shakeology and Advocare weight loss supplements. They all weigh the same or more than when they tried them. And ended up with a bunch of product. Alli is the only over the counter weight loss product approved by the FDA. There are only three prescription weight loss medications approved. Do you think that if any of them REALLY worked we would have a $60 billion a year industry in "weight loss" supplements? The big three pharmaceuticals would dominate the market. Approved or otherwise, none of these weight loss supplements guarantee anything unless you establish a healthy diet and exercise program. So why not just establish a healthy diet and exercise program and keep your money? The only weight loss supplement I recommend is a basic multivitamin and maybe a fish oil if you don't like fish. You will be spending somewhere between $10 and $30 per day on products that are not approved or guaranteed to do anything. $300 to $900 per month would get you a premier spa membership and the positive feeling that comes from working out and feeling healthier. All of the above mentioned diet products are "multi level marketing" or "work from home" programs. I think these products are the worst since they exploit both the desires of people to lose weight and to make money. I live in a very nice area of Scottsdale, AZ. 90% of the "make money from home" signs along the roadways are Herbalife when you call and press them for information. These companies are more concerned with profits than weight loss. As are all the MLM companies.
If I order condoms over Amazon, will the box be discreet?
I need to order condoms over Amazon.com because the condoms in the stores do not fit that well. I am going to order Snug Fit condoms so I don't have to worry about it slipping off and I can get more enjoyment. The problem is, I live with my parents, and I don't want them seeing that I am ordering condoms over the internet. I am 19, so its not that huge of a deal, just a little embarrassing. So will it come in a regular box that they can't tell what's inside, or will it come in a condom box?

Why didn't Amazon take out the money from my debit card after I ordered an item?
All good answer but I work within the Amazon infrastructure. The reason Amazon doesn’t automatically debit the money from your account is for two reasons. #1 the customer order may have been a mistake, so Amazon puts a 1 hour hold on the items to allow the customer to cancel the order if it was in fact a mistake. #2 as others have said, if after processing the system determines that you have several orders pending in the queue, it will charge your card only when the items ship. However, if it is a single item and customer shipment is generated based on the best logistics possible and your card is automatically charged. Now, it gets different with vendors that have a front in which the product is sold by and shipped by their site. In this case, the card is debited only when the items ship, even if it is a single item, the 1 hour hold also takes place before the vendor is alerted of the transaction which, their system must send an authorization to active the customer shipment within the network.
