This is why I sometimes hate Amazon - space-time - 09-07-2020
I bought this pack of LED bulbs and I am very please with them. I used one at the old house, and I have 5 left that I just installed here at the new house. E26 base.
I want more, I go to Amazon, click on this order, and it takes me here
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GS114DJ/
This is a different item. GU24 base.
So anyone can recommend some A19 LED lights that are 3000K, and even better if they are dimmable? Thanks

Does the product code of your first purchase match the current twist-in, or the screw-in bulbs? I have been complaining about Amazon internal search function for at least 10 years.

not sure how to tell that. When I get the new box tomorrow, I can compare the UPCs.

I got in major trouble with my MIL last Christmas - expensive coffee maker, I used her link to get precisely the one she wanted, and bought it through that without any delay. Received it and it was totally different, yet the machine matched the listing. It had totally changed. Really aggravating and it was very hard for me to get my money back.

Do you have the original URL in your history (don't click on it, copy and paste in a different browser)? It should have the Bez-azon code. Currently:
- B07RPQNP96 is the code for A19
- B07GS114DJ is the code for GU24
If your history has a different code that currently shows out of stock, that should indicate B07RPQNP96 is a new replacement product.
There is a chance this was the fault of Great Eagle Lighting Corporation Store. They might have run out of the original product and substituted the closest description, then restocked a new version with a different code after the re-order link was generated.
I think the coffee maker problem of getting a different item from what you ordered will become a bigger problem in the future as long as there are so many Chinese storefronts flooding the Bez-azon store-ecosystem. It sucks that people actually need to do screen captures of the product page to prove what they ordered.
With so many companies becoming drop-shippers, I am going to have to start doing this with all my online purchases.

Then she beat you about the head with a coffee scoop.
