Has anyone had any issue with "Sold By X, Fulfilled By Amazon"? That usually works well for me.

  > Has anyone had any issue with "Sold By X, Fulfilled By Amazon"? That usually works well for me. That's actually the worst, since that opens you up to getting counterfeit items from reputable sellers, due to Amazon's inventory commingling.

    Do you have some kind of evidence that this happens? This is something I'd imagine Amazon was good at ensuring doesn't happen

      This is well documented: https://www.wsj.com/articles/on-amazon-pooled-merchandise-opens-door-to-knockoffs-1399852852 https://www.wsj.com/articles/on-amazon-pooled-merchandise-op...

  Lots. Just this year: Opened "new" Makita power-tools where I can't be sure if the batteries are legitimate or knockoffs or old/refurbished ones in their place. Cracked sink that is still pending return after two weeks. Counterfeit Whirlpool filters for my air filter. Floor oil that was opened, spilling a little, and shipped in a bag alongside its non-spilling counterparts. The only quality items I'm willing to order from Amazon now are small things like pens, and commodities. No more high tech stuff, no more camera equipment, etc.

    > No more high tech stuff, no more camera equipment, etc. Best Buy price matches. Always buy in person items such as these.

      I thought they only price matched items sold by Amazon directly. Do they also do it for items merely fulfilled by Amazon?

        No, only direct.

  Yup. Bought a new expensive joystick. Got a used expensive joystick, with obvious damage. Sent it back and they gave me a refund + a discount on a new one.
