24 Pack for $4.99, but without bottle deposit it's effectively $3.80

The other brand water bottles do charge a deposit... So this is a mistake. And imho a great price especially with the delivery.

I'm lost how is this effectively $3.8 when they're charging $5

If you go to a store you also pay $0.05 per bottle in deposit fees. So if you compare advertised prices, or even prices on the shelves, this is another $1.20 less.

On other brands prime now is charging deposits, this item they're not.

So in the store it's $6.20 vs $5?
So in effect it's $5 is $5??

No no no, what am I explaining wrong?

I guess you could look at it like that too. But no one goes to the store and looks at the price of soda cans and adds the bottle deposit in their head, it just shows up on the receipt.

And essentially you could recycle the bottles and get back $1.20, so it really is more justified to look at it as $3.80 - but either way it's $1.20 off, yes.

Also, Prime Now does charge bottle deposits, it's just this item where I see they do not. So it's a PRICE MISTAKE!!!!
