ok but he would not have been entitled to the refund if he didn't use the guys prime account.
And the Prime member would not have been entitled to this compensation if he hadn't made an order that was late. Why is one deemed more important than the other.
So how did it come to yourr email?
Either way, the refund is not for the item but for the Prime which didn't fulfill.
But he 'borrowed' the Prime.
You borrowed a tool, and it malfunctioned while you were working on a project, ruining your project. The manufacturer replaces the tool (which you return to the owner), and sends a check for the damage to your project. Do you give the owner the check?
Just to be clear, I'm not saying the answer to the question is that the compensation absolutely should go to the user. But everyone else seems to be saying it's clear cut that it should go to the Prime member, and I'm just pointing out what I deem to be a legitimate opposing argument.
