Comment on Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products

  I mean…Sold amd shipped by Amazon is still a thing.
  But even they sell counterfeited items.

  So the only way to get a 100% genuine item is through the manufacturer (e.g. Samsung and storage media) or hope and pray you don’t get a scam product/test it after receiving.

  Honestly: Aliexpress at times feels more genuine than Amazon. If it wasnt for the 20 stores by the same authenticated seller (the seller page is more obscured than on Amazon)

    Or I receive an already open item. I get those so much that that alone stops me from using amazon.

      At least with warehouse, you are already aware and prepared to receive it :p
