What is this? Since when?

lol are they really charging 149 to save you from Amazon delivery network scamming you?

Since the beginning of this year, but with slow coverage of PIN codes.

The charge is different for each price.
Sub-10000 phones show 29, while sub-20K show 79.
Samsung Galaxy S25 shows 109.
Surprisingly, laptops don't have this.

kind of stupid to have different price for this lol. i mean why is it related to the cost of the product when it is to compensate for the extra time delivery guy has to spend at your place. whole thing is just stupid. they should be paying you money for open box delivery because it saves them from scams from their own workers.

also i mean how does it even work for people with jobs and such. they do not even respect your preferred date of delivery. i select Amazon day for delivery which is saturday and they would just ignore it and deliver it next day.

I'd think they are paying a fixed amount or probably none to the delivery guy regardless of the cost of the product. The rest is purely going to Amazon's profit.

Looks like Amazon tactics to raise some pocket money to run investors
