Name 3 things in your entire life that were fake. Theres likely a bunch of 200 packages a year people in this thread. What could you be buying that lacks sufficient reviews and is of such opaqueness and simultaneously over a nominal amount?
Not an Amazon apologist but it seems a bit ridiculous. How do they get paid? The customer first mantra is nice but do they not prefer a higher price too?

Even if you pay recommended retail, if Amazon co-mingles, you run the risk of counterfeits. I buy all my electronics elsewhere now. And discourage anything that goes in or on your body from being bought from Amazon.
- texasbigdata 7y agoAsked for 3 got 12. Fair enough. Actually I've had something similar. Samsung charges better with Samsung usb cables (per ATT in store and tmobile in stores ppl). But the Samsung USB cables are realllllly poorly labeled. Like suspiciously so.

- svachalek 7y agoReminds me of the Chinese milk scandal where people were literally poisoning babies by selling fake milk for a profit of a few cents apiece. This is why you can't just say it's just everyone's responsibility to be careful what they buy, no one has time to run chemical analysis on every single item they take home from the grocery store.

- buckminster 7y agoYou can make a tube of toothpaste for a few cents. With counterfeit branding you can sell it for a hundred times as much. It's drug dealer profitable at much lower risk.
- astura 7y agoI've heard of multiple reports of bootleg soap/body wash sold by Amazon, I think it's pretty common.
