    I just stopped shopping at amazon altogether. My online shopping experience has improved a lot since then.

      This is the correct answer. There’s so much counterfeit garbage on Amazon you’re better off going straight to the company that made whatever you’re trying to buy or wherever else they say their product is sold

        Even then sometimes manufacturers will still use Amazon for fulfillment and shipping. I agree though, the shopping experience is pretty awful and I try to avoid it

        Luis Rossman said he started buying from Ali Express because they actually sell branded supplies and do QA on their stuff (it was a reaction to Amazon selling fake products that endanger ppl)

          If you’re willing to wait for a month, that might work.

        Anywhere and everywhere that isn’t a scam site. Etsy, ebay, local and small business websites directly, b&h, sweetwater, newegg.

          Newegg has gone down the toilet since being bought out (story of everything). If you have a Microcenter near you I’d recommend that.
