I recently needed to replace four backup batteries in my smoke alarms, and found that two 9 volt batteries cost $7.99 at a retailer in The Villages, I purchased four batteries on Amazon for a total of $6.99, no tax, shipped for free, arriving two days later.
I too love Amazon Prime but have recently realized that if the price seems to good to be true it is sometimes a knock off or returned item. Once I ordered something and it was shipped from China. They sell a lot of 3rd party stuff and probably have no way to verify if the stuff is totally legit. The good thing is though they will take back almost anything.
