HN: Is Zappos just Amazon inventory now?

3 points by nytesky ↗ HN
I ordered some goods from Zappos website, and it came in an Amazon box. Has Zappos basically just vanished and now is just a front end to the same Amazon inventory, warehouses, and SKU mixing? So whatever random 3rd party seller goods are in Amazons inventory, that’s what ships out of Zappos? I think even after they were purchased they were running as a separate business for a while?

It's been this way for some time. Same with Woot. Both Zappos and Woot used to be cool. After Amazon acquired them, they just sit and rot.

Wish the FTC would do something about this already...
