Some special offer .. for whaetver reason . And yes, Amazon is very reliable, if you get
something you don’t like you always can give it back with no problems.
EVERY MMO is awesome until it is released then its unfinished. A month after release it just sucks.
Best MMOs are the ones that never make it. Therefore Stargate Online wins.
As long as it’s “Fulfilled By Amazon” which means it’s in Amazon’s warehouses and Amazon deals with the shipping.
We are heroes. This is what we do!

As long as you’re buying direct from Amazon and not someone selling through Amazon, you don’t have any reason to worry. And, honestly, the stuff sold via other people through Amazon tends to be just fine, as well. But buying direct from Amazon is for sure safe.
Bought Windows 7 a while ago from a marketplace seller and got a Dell DVD.
I had to fill out a form at Amazon and send it back, and got my money back
with no problems.
That was so far the only time ever i was not satisfied with what i got.

Amazon can sell stuff really cheap for a variety of reasons:
- They buy “close outs” from a vendor who needs to get rid of stock to make room for something else.
- They use “just -in time” sourcing of products, so their storage costs are drastically reduced.
- They have warehouses but no retail fronts, reducing labor and real estate costs. Similarly, they do customer service via chat, which is a lot cheaper than by phone.
As others have stated, “sold by Amazon” and “fulfilled by Amazon” are indicators that Amazon’s great support and return policy back up their sales.
Lots of individuals and small business use “Amazon Marketplace” to sell stuff (for less than you’d find elsewhere) and that’s more of a mixed bag. Most people get great prices and good/great customer support, since over time, business that do this poorly won’t be able to succeed: they’ll either disappear on their own due to poor reviews or Amazon will pressure them to change. I’ve gotten some great deals through this, by avoiding businesses that have numerous “legitimate” complaints about the quality of the actual products delivered and have done nothing to make it easy on the consumer to replace it.
tl;dr look for “Sold by” or “Fulfilled by” and you won’t be sorry. (If “marketplace,” do your research first.)
