Some points about Amazon and how it works:

A) When you visit a product page more than once (at least) while logged into your buying account, the system will interpret that as interest and send you updates. Case in point for me: I was looking at Quickbooks (most recent version) a couple of times to read the reviews and the next day they sent me a note about Quickbooks! It's all good though, for those who find the product look at it as Amazon reminding a potential customer of something they took interest in. Win.

B) To the person bringing up evidence of pallet buying? While Amazon has many DCs around the country they practice what we in the industry call just in time buying. If Pawtizer is in 5 DCs around the country (not every DC stocks every unit of any product Amazon buys - it's all about time zones and being able to fill orders at pretty much any time of the day on either coast) it might only be in increments of 1-2 case lots. I have sold products to that account and can assure anybody that if it sells, they will keep ordering many caselots for the DCs that sell out. Still...this is good for AAPT simply due to the fact that Amazon may buy what they need but if demand is high, they could reorder almost daily. Good for us.
