I see someone posted a picture of theirs falling apart:

Records 24/7 1.0 out of 5 stars
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2022
It records all the time, even when set on motion. Filled up the 128gb card in a few days. Fell apart when I unplugged it. Worthless.

I wonder what the clearance is.

Shouldn't there be heat shrink on those terminals or a plastic separator in between the rest of the casing to insulate it better?

Didn't have a problem here.

Edit: maybe those having a problem don't have Prime :)

I can only surmise that delivery location also comes into play? (Bear in mind that Amazon.de can ship this item to Switzerland right now, so it’s not as though Amazon can’t do it.)

--- Quote from: tooki on August 19, 2022, 05:11:37 pm ---Well that’s the thing… I no longer consider Amazon to be convenient. Low prices be damned, if it takes me hours of clicking around to actually select and purchase the item I want, I’m going to go elsewhere. I’m too lazy, err, “my time is too valuable” to waste on their stupid website. :/

As with all shops they’re fine if you know what you want and how much it costs.

I could not disagree more. I can know exactly what I want, what it’s called, who makes it, and even the part/model number and Amazon will still fail to find it even if they carry it.

For example, try “Clairefontaine 60g A4”. It’s currently sold out on Amazon UK (as I can verify by copying its ASIN to a URL), but even expressly selecting “include out of stock” won’t find it. Adding the product number (1929C) doesn’t help.

Why so picky? You'll buy whatever they have from whichever marketplace seller has extruded it into their common stocks and you'll like it. If you don't, you can return it for free and they'll just put it straight into the bin.

At least, that's how they think it should work..

     Yes, I frequently do the same!  The prices on a lot of items on Amazon have gotten ridiculous.  Usually thanks to a 3rd party seller. At least I KNOW that I can get my money back with Ebay/payPal.   I can't say the same of 3rd party amazon sellers.

In the UK Amazon give a 3rd party seller guarantee but reading through it, doesn’t cover you for market place sellers

Hmm. It says at the end:


--- Quote ---The A-to-z Guarantee only applies when you buy items sold and fulfilled by a third-party seller. For items sold by Amazon Global Store or Marketplace items delivered using Prime, contact us. For items bought on third-party sites using Amazon Pay, go to Amazon Pay help.

Doesn't seem to exclude marketplace items (other than to deal direct with Amazon if it was a Prime delivery).
