Well, the merchants can sell on Amazon whatever they wish. Yes, you are buying "through Amazon", but the items get shipped from the merchants, via whatever shipping method the merchant prefers. And if there is anything wrong with the purchase, you are going to have to deal directly with the merchant, and not with Amazon CS. You will need to ship it back to the merchant, wait for a refund from the merchant, etc. Essentially, this is similar to buying things on eBay (usually the same people sell on Amazon and eBay, and the merchandise is the same).
