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
