Look at Amazon warehouse photos[0] and try to imagine how long it would take to scan every single item out there. Also, what happens when 1000 items have the same QR code? Do you inspect every of them individually to determine which one is genuine? Or do you discard everything, genuine products included?

- phreeza 9y agoSurely they scan the SKU on every item at some point anyway?
- kbart 9y agoI'm not familiar with Amazon internals enough, but I doubt they keep SKU for every individual item, maybe for categories or types, so i.e. all the headphones of the same model has the same SKU. Then it's enough to scan a single code on crate/bin/pallet which makes things far easier, but it's not sufficient to track down individual counterfeits.
