We have been buying extra strong PG Tips British tea from Amazon because we think American tea is way too weak. 3 boxes of 80 were about $40 last time I bought them a few months ago. They’re now $80. Thankfully we discovered we can get an order of 6 for $60, but we have to wait until mid-February for the to arrive. Meanwhile, a single box of the same tea, which we’ll have to get in the mean time, is $20. Yes, a single box is less per box than a 3-count box order, but you still save if you buy 6 boxes. How does any of that make sense?
It doesn’t, stop buying on amazon. There are 10000 other stores that will ship great tea to you worldwide. There’s plenty of non-american tea in the americas already.
Also, on amazon you need to scroll and shop. Everyone knows the same items are available much cheaper down the list, amazon puts the more expensive one’s at the top because people don’t go passed the first pages, assuming it’s garbage results.
What’s the brand you are looking for?
Sometimes the smaller dealers are a bit more expensive but at least it’s not to make bezos even richer.
Every place I am looking right now is either more expensive or out of stock. And I am also not seeing it further down the list. What you say does make sense when looking for a general item, but it doesn’t work very well when looking for a very specific one. In our case- PG Tips Extra Strong blend 80 count boxes of tea.
Here. $9 for a box of 80, extra strong, and in stock.
Wow! How did you find that? I scrolled and scrolled.
Right beneath the main listing, under “Frequently bought together” it was shown with the $9 price instead of $20. Then, over in the right column, next to the main the listing, underneath the “add to cart button,” “add to lists” button and “X available from other sellers” (at the same price) was something like "one available at $9 from (whoever the seller is). I could have added it to my cart from there, but went and searched their storefront, 'cause I wanted to give you the direct link to the product.
Interesting. That’s just about the last place I would have thought to look. Thanks!
