Because screw Amazon. Companies don't want to deal with their B.S. any more than we do. I was inspired by a post earlier this week to shop other vendors. For one product, I went right to the manufacturer website where I got a lower price and free shipping. I run a business, and every purchase from now on I will take a minute to duckduckgo the vendor, or buy from a small third party. Amazon has too much power, and we need to start taking action instead of just talking and typing!!
