I placed an order for some things today from PBMG on Amazon. I guess I have two questions. About shipping, on Amazon shipping was $8.95 and on AG, shipping was $18.95. Also the same products were total $10 cheaper on Amazon.

I'm trying to figure out why the price difference on Amazon. The products are still shipped from AG, so Amazon is only providing the marketplace, at least it seems so. Does Amazon subsidize the vendors or do they control the mark up?

I feel more comfortable ordering direct from AG when I can, but the shipping is what hold me back. I'm not ordering enough right now to qualify for free shipping and I think the $8.95 shipping is reasonable. The $18.95 shipping is a high for the small order that I placed - nothing was heavy or bulky at all.

Just curious.

If they are sold by PBMG then buy where it is cheapest.

I agree and I'm not complaining, but I was curios about why there are differences if it is the same product from the same company, but only using a different vendor to sell the product.

My guess it is just the marketing channel. They cannot run the promotions on amazon like they can online so just a more consistent approach.

It's because they have to compete with the rest of the marketplace on Amazon, so prices will vary.
