This is what mainly happens when dealing with 2nd or 3rd-party sellers. After the sale is made, they seem to skip town & are seemingly never heard from again!! It has happened to me at Amazon!! Since then, I don't deal with those people now.
I assume you are an Amazon Prime member. If there is such a thing, you are probably an Amazon Super Golden Platinum Prime member.

I am, but is there such a thing, seeing that I buy things from them a lot?

It happens, but rarely. And if you know how to interact with Amazon, Walmart or whoever, you can get a refund.

I started going to Target for some kitchen stuff to avoid the possibilty of that happening. I bought the Ninja Foodi pressure cooker from there. But the thing was so blasted heavy that it made me wonder if I could get it home on the bus!! I had to muster up all the strength that I could getting it home. Since then, I just stick with stuff that is light & easy to carry.

I think the last thing I bought for my kitchen was a food processor. Back in 2015.
I´ve got some really good chef´s knives, some great stainless steel bowls; some great pans, and a lot of "let´s get to it". I don´t think I need any fancy gadgets to supplement that. However, I´m a sort of "lets-get-to-the-basics" cook, so I can understand why folks would think " why bother when I´ve got a machine". Each to their own.
I would draw the line at making Thai green/red curry in a mortar, however, or a Mexican mole .Stuff the whole damn lot in a blender and be done with it.

I just received the Japanese udon or ramen noodle bowls I ordered from e-Bay after being burned by that rip-off seller Walmart merchant. These are 9.75" wide which is much better than the 4" wide soup bowls I have been using. I can photograph food items in these bowls with no worry about some ingredients being hidden.

The last thing I bought was a pair of taco holder stands, each for 3 tacos, or 4 when inverted.

I have similar stainless steel taco holders. They hold two tacos on one side, and three on the other. They are very common in TexMex restaurants here.

Just bought these tiny little single-serve gratin dishes:
Staub - not cheap! I've one cast iron Staub skillet (single serving) and I like it very much.
These aren't cast iron, just ceramic (but oven-safe to 300C/572F!), so not very expensive at all - $6US each.

Yeah I know they're ceramic. That is quite a reasonable price. But they look rather tiny for American single servings!
