I’ve had this happen with some exercise equipment - where they just say “the package was damaged in shipping” (even though I can see the package never made it to FedEx/UPS/etc), and then they “ship another one”, and repeat this process forever until I request a refund. My thought was that these are drop shippers who keep their prices low, and haven’t been able to find a lower price anywhere else, so they keep you hanging while they keep hoping for a lower price to show up somewhere. But I am wondering - could this be an investment scam, where they’re investing the money before they get the refund request, and pocketing the interest? I’m not sure how payment schedules and merchant fees and all that work for Amazon, I’m not sure if that’s viable or not.
