Yeah, it's a pity. It use to be a no-brainer shopping at Amazon. But now, I waste more time sifting through a bunch of cheaply made home goods that I'm just more inclined to look for sturdy, well-made products elsewhere.
Also, it seems like they mix the inventory from different vendors, so it ends up being a crap shoot whether you get the original, or a knock-off, and the reviews reflect that.

- iamwil 5y agoI signed up for a newsletter called Modern Different that curates products. It's easier to believe the motivation while it's small. Also asking on reddit on the appropriate subreddit is pretty helpful.

I've noticed this so many times. I've stopped buying any sort of health products like supplements or even electric toothbrush heads from Amazon. It scares me seeing reviews about fake products in stuff like that
- asddubs 5y agoYeah, recently I wanted a second charger for my thinkpad. I ended up just buying it on lenovo.com, because I had 0 faith in actually getting a real product from amazon, especially in that category
