Not that AliExpress is much better with counterfeit, but it is the "fresh" contender to the West. There might be a movement away from Amazon's core business as AliExpress / Ali* expand here.
- M_Grey 10y agoI doubt it... most of the counterfeit junk on Amazon is just Ali products and sellers leaking over.
- Arizhel 10y agoYeah, but at higher prices. You might as well just buy straight from the source on Ali and skip Amazon altogether.
- hbosch 10y agoThat is not a great solution for consumers. People don't want cheaper counterfeits - they want the real thing. Ali doesn't do this better than Amazon.
- Arizhel 10y agoI think you're missing the point. The point is you're going to get crappy counterfeits on Amazon, so it's better to just buy them on Ali where you'll get them cheaper. If you want the real thing, don't buy on Amazon.

- marcosdumay 10y agoIn fact, Ali does let you choose the seller of the item, and lets you contact him as much as you want before the transaction. So, no, Ali does this better than Amazon.
- M_Grey 10y agoWell yeah... if I wanted to buy cheap counterfeits; most of the time I don't.
- Arizhel 10y agoThen Amazon probably isn't a good place for you to shop.
