We have just used Amazon fresh and I can't beieve I've just paid £6 for a bottle of Morrisons branded bleach which is on special offer at Morrisons for 39p. When we ordered we thought it was for 12 bottles but have been informned by Amazon it's clearly marked on their Fresh website and will not bring the price down.  Is this legal?

    Of course it is. They can sell it for whatever they like.

    I am assuminng you mean this:

    Morrisons Thick Bleach Berry, 750 ml

    Brand: Morrisons

    Price: £5.10 (£6.80 / l)

    No idea why they want to charge that or indeed why you paid it. Or why you though it was 12 bottles.

    Pay more attention next time.
  • We always buy a box of bleach from Cosco and it's about £5-£6 but as normal the rush before lockdown they have sold out of bleach and toilet rolls so we thought we would try Amazon Fresh, as normal we was in a rush but as you say we should have paid more attention. The most important thing is we will not be using a company that is blatantly bumping prices because of demand!  
  • Can be misleading the listings sometimes and if you Amazon search items you can get three different prices on same Amazon listing.....
    Amazon Prime
    Amazon Fresh
    Amazon Morrison's

    Be sure to know which company is doing it though.

    Morrisions sets the price for their items not amazon (yes even for fresh).

    It may even actually be a mistake, but with the many layers you will never contact someone willing to admit as such. It's either that or morrisons have set surge pricing based on stock. Certainly poor form whatever though. Still morrisions are in my bad book anyway after; i.stopping delivering to me ii. the amazon morrisions delivery service being a poor shambles.

    You forgot to add the multiple actual "amazon" listings. Where sellers can create their own listing and make a seperate one from the normal amazon one which is clearly the same item and more expensive. Amazon do remove them at times but such is the problem if you allow third parties onto your site. Still better than ebay though!
