I'm not discounting their experiences. I just can't explain it, both anecdotally and terms of Amazon's business performance and perceived image. If this is widespread we should see it show up elsewhere vs. only here (for me), where it's a known thing that Amazon co-mingles inventory, and hey, ya know that can lead to counterfeits! Which may explain it. HN's population may be more careful and examine items received more closely? HN often doesn't match reality (see often cited Dropbox initial criticisms), so it's not too strange.
