I purchased “A Charlie Brown Christmas” on Amazon Merchant yesterday. I found it cheaper elsewhere (but not much) but the seller included the info that if I purchased before 6pm PST, it would be shipping directly from the Seattle airport (the seller’s id oddly enough is iowabooksetc.com). Today I received an email confirming its shipping and a link to its tracking info. The above ‘info’ is what the link displays. I would say that it’s worth than getting no additional info. A few of the problems:
* No product info
* No estimated delivery date
* No current status, where the hell is location 97217? I suspect that’s a zipcode, but why should I have to look that up.
This leads to a bad customer experience, even if I get the product promptly, and in turn this seller will get bad feedback, lower sales, andpoorer conversions. Sometimes providing incomplete info is worse than providing no info.
