Yeah, Amazon reviews are pretty broken.
Not sure if this helps much, but I try to avoid buying from marketplace sellers. This is partly to avoid my personal data being shared with yet another company (it's been misused by marketplace sellers in the past) but also in the theory (hope!) that Amazon themselves will on average buy better products. After all, they have their reputation to maintain and have to deal with all the refunds if they sell shoddy goods.
Increasingly though, I'd rather just shop from a retailer that specialises in a particular type of product and has invested in their reputation.
- throwaway744678 5y agoI'm with you here. I only buy from Amazon itself, or, if looking for a specific item (eg. a known brand, or a product with 'offical' reviews found elsewhere), the manufacturer's. It probably reduces the risk of fake/knockoff/garbage products. I also feel (not sure about that, though) that the customer support would be better should there be any issue with the delivery or the product.
