You're probably right, though I always thought he was smarter than that.
Note that these are packages that get busted up moving over our conveyors, sort slides and onto / off trucks.
To be clear, this is just internal damage, not product returns.
When you think about it, at $129 per year, how many packages can Amazon afford to ship? Based on comments on this thread it looks like one shipping is pretty much it.
Add in issues such as product theft, both inside the amazon kingdom and outside the kingdom, and $129 * number of Prime members = a lot of money. But it isn't unlimited.
I’m surprised because I thought Amazon was just a pass through connecting manufacturers with buyers. I did not know they had to worry about storing inventory.
