The kettle I bought off of Amazon… the first one was obviously used (hard water deposits inside). The second one was presumably counterfeit as it stank of organic solvents. I ended up buying the same kettle directly from the manufacturer for a few bucks more and all was well.
More recently I succumbed to the temptation of fast shipping. Unfortunately the delivery wasn't so fast when the delivery driver decided to text me maniacally while I wasn't home instead of ringing the door buzzer for someone to let him in. So I bought elsewhere and now I had two of these shower knobs to look at. The Amazon one was indeed counterfeit. More flashing, text was a completely different typeface.
At that point I was down to buying an occasional small item when Amazon dangled a free prime membership in front of me. I've had reason to return every one of those orders I've placed in the past four years.
Lesson learned. Stop buying from Amazon.
