Did you buy them off Amazon, or from a reputable reseller? I ask because Amazon mixes third party inventory together with first party inventory, so it's impossible to tell if you're getting a genuine product or a counterfeit.
- havaloc 11mo agoThey are on the way of ending commingling, thankfully. https://www.geekwire.com/2025/after-years-of-backlash-amazon-finally-ends-a-practice-that-many-sellers-have-long-loathed/ https://www.geekwire.com/2025/after-years-of-backlash-amazon...
- Groxx 11mo agothis is great news, but: >To avoid commingling, sellers have long had the option to apply a unique, seller-specific Amazon barcode — known as an FNSKU (Fulfillment Network Stock Keeping Unit) — to every product. This ensures their inventory is tracked and shipped separately. ... is that really all that was necessary all along? I can see that being a problem for, like, 10 cents worth of stuff, but a lot of the commingling complaints have been around expensive items. It's not zero cost of course, but for your average $30+ thing it doesn't seem very difficult to justify.
- hapless 11mo agoAmazon charges you for the “privilege”
- dehugger 11mo agoRequiring seperate Amazon only sku's (especially if they need it to be printed on the product label) is a giant PITA. Definitely worth doing, but keeping up with all of Amazon's compliance requirements requires a fairly robust logistics system.
