Amazon and shark fin soup
Just came across and interesting piece over at Wetpixel.com :: Underwater Photography and Videography About one of Amazons third-party vendors selling shark fin soup.

If you feel strongly about this then instructions are on the wet pixel site on steps to take.

Cheers,
J.

Thank you for bringing this here.

I have left (very) strongly worded feedback to Amazon.

I am amazed that some idiot had bought 10 cases of the stuff!

I got the feeling this bloke (tosser) was a bit of a troll... he's seen the reports and is winding everyone up... surely?

Yeah, I wondered that afterwards. I was furious about the issue at the time, and I think that may have clouded my judgment.

Just sent Amazon a stinking e mail. Hope they don't ignore all of the comments they receive.

The response I got from Amazon was:

"Thank you for writing to Amazon.com with your concerns about Dragonfly Shark Fin Soup.

Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience you may have experienced.

As a retailer, our goal is to provide customers with the broadest selection possible so they can find, discover, and buy any item they might be seeking. That selection includes some items which many people may find objectionable. Therefore, the items offered on our web site represent a wide spectrum of opinions on a variety of topics.

I will be sure to pass your message on to the appropriate department in our company for consideration. Customer feedback like yours is very important in helping us continue to improve the selection and service we provide.

We value all feedback from our customers, and I thank you again for taking the time to send us your comments about this issue. We hope you will allow us to continue to serve you."


That will be me shopping elsewhere then.

Greg

Yep, I got a similar one....
It went on to ask if it has resolved my enquiry, so I sent another one saying it hadn't.

I think we need to get the dive magazine's on to this if they aren't on to it already.

I will email them today, i think.

Hells Bells!!!

i just went to Amazon to get the URL to send to Diver, and found that 'This Item is not currenty available!

Hopefully it is because they have taken action already. That would be a turnup.
