Whilst the pages doesn't specifically say supplied by Amazon, it does have a hyperlink titled: "Visit the apple store".

Also the price is exactly the same as if you went straignt to the UK apple store.

My guess is that the UK apple store are advertising on Amazon. But I could be wrong.

It shows as out of stock on the first link, hence no supplier
If you go to the second link, which is cheaper, it shows the supplier is Amazon

The "Apple Store" is Amazon's Apple Store. If you search for any big brand on Amazon you will get a link to the XXX Store under the item name; if its a smaller brand it simply has brand:XXX instead

Thanks. When I clicked on the Visit Apple store, I failed to notice it was an Amazon page. From the graphics, I assumed it was an Apple page.

If you want real protection buy direct from Apple. Avoiding any protentional issues.

Why exactly are you citing S75 & exactly what are you worried about.

Amazon is £56 cheaper than apple direct. I am not worried rather skeptical and like to have the protection just in case.

Thanks for your response but it doesn't really answer my question 

There isn't a grey area with marketplace purchases because they are covered by amazon.

Covered by Amazon, but, possibly, not covered by s75. Hence grey area.

Not that I'm  saying s75 cover adds much in this case, but it's a different kettle of fish.

Yes, as the OP wants to by from Amazon directly, it IS covered by S75 and not grey at all.

Hi again, OP, the info in this link might help.

You can get your money back. If you absolutely need to.     Did you buy it yet?

I ended up through Argos and used top cashback to make the difference

I know it's a typo (should be no) but does change the meaning for anyone reading.

But this isn't a marketplace purchase, it's direct from Amazon, so presumably the s75 applies?

Assuming its from Amazon UK... if it was Amazon US, Amazon EU etc then technically you'd have the same problem though if a bank spotted it may be more 50/50

S75 however just replicates your rights to your bank... useful for overseas transactions where dealing with a foreign legal system is difficult or if a company goes bust or to ground but not sure what significant benefit you'd get with it -v- dealing with a large multinational like Amazon. S75 doesnt give you any additional rights.

S75 would still apply to transactions on the sister Amazon websites like Amazon US. 

Not sister websites... buying on Amazon.co.uk but the merchant being Amazon US eg https://www.amazon.co.uk/ROSLE-Cooking-Utensils-stainless-Silver/dp/B0002F7O9S/ 



You would technically be paying the UK entity but the supplier would be the US entity and whilst they are part of the same Group they are not the same entity and so technically would mean an extra entity is involved than the 3 required by S75

If you order from the correct website e.g. Amazon US product from Amazon US website then S75 applies.
