I stopped shopping at Amazon last year due to all their bullshit. But twice now I've bought from other retailers, Zappos and eBay, and the products were still delivered by Amazon. Actually it's happened several times from eBay.
It’s actually a violation of eBay’s terms of service to use Amazon for dropshipping. You should be able to get a refund if a seller does that.
