Yeah, and it's bs. Back at Xmas my dad bought a Robert Rodriguez DVD set from Walmart.com not knowing the DVDs were region 2. It didn't say anything about them not working on the US players. When he gave them to my brother they discovered they would not play and he contacted the seller. The seller said he can send them back, but he would have to pay for shipping on top of being charged an $8 restocking fee. Another option the seller offered was buying an all region player directly from him for $40. The dude was a total scammer and had like a 1 star rating when I looked it up, but Walmart would not hold the dude accountable at all. My dad is in his 70s with severe parkinsons and did not need to deal with that shit.
