Example?

Note that I don't mean "sold on amazon.com" or even "fulfilled by amazon". "Sold by amazon" means that Amazon actually owns the device, and does not just hold it for the seller. This is extremely rare for expensive items with low sell-though rate. Amazon does not want to sit on inventory that does not sell.

I've seen Tautech say here on a few diff threads that the "sold by amazon" Siglents were really Siglent USA distributor. Like you I didn't agree but it didn't seem worth arguing about it :)

ataradov:
It for sure does feel like they made some bulk deal. I doubt Amazon are such huge fans of Siglent that they would buy literally everything from them.

At the same time, this lets Amazon dictate prices and that's why you see all those good discounts. But I guess this would be a part of the agreement. No way Silent loses money on this.

I disagree. When I buy clothes online (*), I typically return 50% of the items for various reasons. This never has resulted in being flagged by any seller. Why should test equipment ordered online be any different? Getting a loaner is better ofcourse but this isn't always an option. And come to think of it, I have bought various pieces of test equipment which I returned because it didn't meet my expectations (on parts that where not specified in the datasheet at all).

* No, buying in a store is not an alternative because the shops over here have zero items in stock. Going there is just a waste of time.

And I guess this would be hugely region dependent, since I doubt Amazon would ship a scope to the US even if they have it in their AU warehouse.

Your guess is right. Amazon has various regions in which they sell or don't sell certain items. You can switch between countries and you'll see search results will be different.

No clue for Holland but you're way above the statistical norm for the USA where for online clothing only 5% of buyers return 50-100%.    The norm is 1-10%.

Regardless, I'm not sure your online clothing purchases is a good comparison to TE.
