bendableAmazon dot com users, a question
I think I've used Amazon three times in 12 years ,
If they are out of something that you want to purchase, is there a button or a link or something that you can click on , so that they will notify you when the product becomes available?

egregoreI haven't looked specifically for this feature. However, I have never known Amazon to show a listing for an item but then turn around and say it is out of stock. That would seem to render your question moot.

radiomannot that I've seen. I just see 2 things
1] "Product not available"
2] so called
other sellers who have the product at a huge mark-up. Hint: I generally avoid the
other sellers since one of them sold me a counterfeit phone case.

You can make your own with Potatoes, Barley Malt and Yeast.
Just sayin'

FredwardI don't know how it happens, but I often get notifications of price reductions on items I have looked it. I'm a Prime member, though.

At first glance, I'd think that those were the ingredients for Potato Beer.

frayedendsI don’t think you need barley malt if you are using potatoes.
These go to eleven.

rtquigThis past Christmas I ordered a John Deere tee shirt for my grandson. It was around 2 weeks before Christmas. Once I choose buy, it showed it was out of stock and have me a choice to cancel or wait to get it in stock. They give you a date they expect it to be in. After a month I cancelled and ordered another item. They don't charge until it ships.

It's happened to me on an item that was $400 less than I had found previously. Placed the order then a few days later received a cancellation notice from the vendor that stated that I had cancelled. Called CS. No help sorry

Best regards,
Tom
I have no comment at this time. March 07, 2020, 07:16 PM
AeteoclesYes, if the product is shipped and sold from Amazon, the buy now button is replaced with a notify me button when the item is out of stock.
You'll have to have an account and be logged in.
