purchasing Chess Equipment Online

This is the same as buying directly from RCM directly, which I already said. So no difference than buying directly from RCM....though you would pay less when buying direct. Oh did I mention the reward points from RCM that you can't get from Amazon? I already saved an extra $50 on another set.

So no extra "3rd party protection" of any kind so far.

Nope that's not true either. Maybe you didn't read what I wrote (just copy and pasted) about my 100% refund and free return with an item that I bought from RCM .

Even through Amazon, the process is the same with most (guessing 90%) of chess items. Without the "Free returns", then you still have the same hassle of waiting on an RMA, there will be some back-and-forth through e-mails to discuss the situation to determine if it qualifies for a 100% refund or partial, and still need to wait on the refund after they receive it back.

So can you articulate just one benefit/difference from the claim of "full 3rd party protection"? Just one would be good enough for discussion.

Doesn't sound like you even know what that means....and seems you're going off topic for some reason.

So can you describe a benefit of what you call "full 3rd party protection"? Or not?

Not quite that simple....and not different from buying direct from RCM. So no difference. Try again.

Nope, it's not that simple with Amazon. That's why I say to save your money and buy directly from the vendors when they have better prices. AND, so much of those chess pieces are not even available through Amazon, so you'll miss out on a lot of stuff if you only look on Amazon.

Well, not wrong again (not sure what you're talking about). BTW, I got that set at 25% off so .

Hmm, both situations are still unresolved, and AFAIK, there hasn't been any contact to the seller, which would still be needed if they were bought through Amazon (actually I don't think you can even buy one of those sets through Amazon).

So where's the benefit of 3rd party protection?

Nobody cares...but I bought mine with 25% off...but nobody cares.

Back to any benefit from "full 3rd party protection"....is there really any benefit that you can articulate?

"screwed over" is your understanding of articulation? Are you really not able describe any kind of benefit of your "full 3rd party protection"?

You just seem to be 'cutting and pasting' some meaningless stuff. Can you not describe or define anything about your protection claim?

Alright folks...you've seen it here. There's no benefit of any kind regarding the "full 3rd party protection" claim. It's just something that one person just keeps repeating for some reason, and can't even define it. And you'll probably lose money because of it.

So..."3rd party protection" = a grain of salt.

And yet you don't seem to know enough about it explain how anything would be different through Amazon. You haven't proved anything yet...except that your chess example actually doesn't have "Free returns".

Wow...still hiding the line above your text there, just to look like you're right about something . Folks, here's what he keeps hiding from the rest of us. (Can everyone say 'no credibility')

=====================

What items are eligible for a FREE returns option? Amazon.com offers free returns on most items delivered to an address in the 50 United States. Look for “Free returns” next to the price to confirm that the item qualifies for free returns. Learn more about Free Returns

How does FREE Returns work? All return-eligible items, weighing under 50 lbs and sold by Amazon, have at least one free return option. You can return the item for any reason in new and unused condition for up to 30 days after purchase.

===========================

Pretty much anything about "3rd party protection" is worth a grain of salt.

Yeah yeah, only part of the policy that you have taken out of context. We all can see the full context. No need to continue with only part of the policy that doesn't apply to your recommended chess sets.

Nothing like putting together words to make up a fake policy.

No cred.

If you want to close the case, then, bye now.

Well the last time you posted an Amazon policy, you got caught conveniently leaving out the statement right above it saying it was for items that showed "Free returns". So, yeah, no cred.

You want to show a new link to your new Amazon policy that, as you say, for ALL items? Careful...you may get caught in another lie.

I don't think anyone knows what you're talking about...but anyway...where's the link to your new policy?

So...you're now pretending to NOT know what a link is? (no cred)

So you can't give us a link to the Amazon policy that you made up? (no cred)

So that's for furniture items from Amazon.com ...really?...furniture? ...and directly from Amazon...not from Indian chess vendors? (no cred). You said it was for ALL items! (no cred)
