It seems like every e-tailer is getting worse about the quality of their shipped products. I keep getting, if not counterfeits, visibly open-box products sold as new from the websites of places like Wal-mart, Target and Best Buy too. I now do everything I can to buy directly from the manufacturer or their recommended channels (or, in the situations where I feel qualified to evaluate what I'm getting, the used market).
