The "Full" Agency pricing thing in the thread-title is just a tad misleading (but still not a big deal). It makes it sound as if HC went a different route than the other BPs. When in fact, the contracts all sound very similar. They have total control of the pricing, while Amazon retains ways to encourage them to keep those prices lower. Which to me, sounds more like Agency "but..." rather than "Full" Agency.

"Full" Agency suggests a system where the retailer has absolutely no way to influence pricing. Amazon clearly retained some sort of leverage in that department.
