This was my experience too, I've had multiple instances of fake items or really old stock (circa 2014) showing up, and in the latter case I'd even asked beforehand to ensure I didn't end up with an older revision of the product. Ended up being a few grand worth of hardware to return, and a week and change delay to that project. Not risking buying from Amazon again!
