Another Amazon RANT

[newbury]

I was looking for Sawzall pruning blades on Amazon.
Tools-Plus advertises
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D7RPJ7V/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 5 packs of 5 for $30.
So I check out Tools Plus, decent ratings, then I order them.

Smells like a bait and switch.[/FONT][/COLOR]

What was the switch?
I just bought one 9" [FONT=Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]Sawzall [/FONT]pruning blade at home depot for $9.

Did you think there would be 25 blades for $30?

Bit misleading maybe. But I didn't take it that you are buying 25.

"Description
5 PK 5 TPI BLADE"

:confused3:

Get a grip on yourself. The linked page clearly states who is filling the order and the item offered is a 5 pack of blades with a blade pitch of 5 teeth per inch.

The switch was from a "known" seller to an unknown seller.
They also show:
12 x 5pack for $139
2 x 5pack for $27.50
4 x 5 pack for $51.50
3 x 5pack for $39.95
So I thought they had a special on them.
And the big circle in the ad now says 5X 5 pack

I'm not sure I see the problem, in the description I see,>>> "Recip Swbld 5tpi/9" 5pk by Diablo" @>>>> "Price $29.06 & FREE Shipping", sounds like a good deal to me unless when you get the order, the blades aren't Diablo, aren't 9" pruning, and arn't 5 of them............

When I seen that circle I thought it was talking about 5 teeth/in and the page shows >> "Ships from and sold by Mirako Enterprise." Then if you go down the list you see other sellers. Maybe you should show your list to Amazon, they might double your order.

Also if you go to Walmart online and get a hold of someone in sales or a supervisor, Walmart will price match. They did that for me 3 months ago after I already bought a Sound Bar from them, I bought a DVD player, checked with Amazon, bout the same price, so I bought the player and Sound bar from Walmart online, but the following Sat morn after I just got my order and why I dont know, I went back on Amazon and check the price of the exact same LG Sound Bar, it was over $100.00 cheaper, I was ------.

So immediately I went to Walmart online on that Sat morning and I soon was tied of the live chat, so got out of that and made a direct call to Walmart customer support and got a hold of a supervisor and explained to him in a politically correct right way that I was ripped off, had him go to Amazon and look up that same LG Sound Bar, and in short order he saw things my way, immediately refunded the difference to me and added $25.00 extra in a very polite way, now thats what I called service. I think Walmart learned some valuable lessons from the failure of Sears, they dont want to pushed under by Amazon..........

NICE, when an organization that messed up, offers you something, not just sincere apologies.

I am confused. Nowhere does it say 5 packs of 5 blades.
I am trying to understand how you got the 5 packs of 5 blades in your head based on what I see?
Reading it fast and you made yourself see something that you wanted to see but was not actually there maybe?

It clearly says 5TPI (teeth per inch), 9" long and a 5 pack. Are you not seeing what I am seeing?
"5 PK 5 TPI BLADE" and also "Recip Swbld 5tpi/9" 5pk"
