Amazon out of stock but in stock

Posted 29th May 2023
Hello, In April somebody posted a deal for 6 bottles of Teissere Cherry Syrup which I ordered.
The items have still not been dispatched with Amazon saying they don't know when the item will be in stock.
If I go to my orders and click on the item it says they are in stock for immediate dispatch (albeit at a higher price now}
Has anyone had this experience before and are Amazon allowed to do that?
Thanks, Gary

    Although your problem has been solved as Amazon themselves don't have the item.

    I just wanted to add this has happened to me before with the item being in stock with Amazon. I went to live chat to ask why I'm still waiting weeks for delivery estimate yet it's in-stock. They gave me £5 credit and sent it out that day. The price was much higher too which is why I didn't cancel and reorder.

    So if you ever do order something and this does happen as long as it's in-stock with Amazon themselves always best to contact them. (edited)

    Was it this? - amazon.co.uk/dp/…OLE

    If so, then Amazon itself doesn't have this for sale at the moment, it's all marketplace sellers

    Oh right, thanks for pointing that out. I didn't even think to check if it was from other sellers.

    They do similar with the Bahco adjustables. If you want it for discount then you have to wait 5 weeks. But if you are happy to pay almost double then you can have it next day

    Had it a few times. Lastly with a potato peeler (where it showed in stock from other sellers from the day I bought it. Other sellers where selling it at £8) I bought for under £2. I received multiple emails from Amazon over the months wanting me to cancel the order as they had no stock. I refused and waited.

    8 months later it was dispatched

    The same thing happened to me with a big bag of cat crunchies but I eventually caved in and cancelled the order. Looks like I should have held out like you.
    It seems to be a little tactic that Amazon use. (edited)
