The Sony camera that sparked off the Slickdeals discussion was listed by a third-party merchant but fulfilled by Amazon. This means that Amazon handles the shipping, customer service, and returns for the order.
Screenshots of other heavily discounted items of camera gear shared with PetaPixel showed that some items were being sold and shipped by Amazon itself.
While some shoppers on Reddit and Slickdeals said their orders have already shipped, others are still awaiting confirmation and wondering whether Amazon will cancel the order.
