Needed a replacement Shimano Acera 9spd RD. I use Amazon to scan the market.
Hit by an AVALANCHE of BS. ˜50-60 weirdly labeled "Shimano" and " Acera" hits within AMZ.
Some priced ridiculously high, lots of price scatter.
Impossible to vet or even sort through
I have been burned with Amazon counterfeits, and especially with the FBS, fulfillment by Amazon stuff.
Not sure if long shipping clue is China or somebody selling, then ordering elsewhere to send out.
Seeing lots of shipping / nonPrime games and "hidden" shipping charges.
My time has to be worth nothing to use them at this point.
PS :
Amazon QA is you returning merchandise.
Just plain sloppy. They really do not care to vet their own stuff.
