Is anyone else becoming wary of what you buy on amazon?

They have a major problem of counterfeit products and junk being sold on their website. It's become almost a 50/50 shot of whether you get something of quality or not. Not to mention all the reviews are fake so you can't tell whats good and whats not. I have started to buy in stores again so they can sort through through all the junk products for me. Anyone else have this problem with amazons quality?

Why not just buy from a known seller? It’s probably Prime that too.

No, because I pay attention to what I'm doing and buy products sold by Amazon, not some fly-by-night third party that has access to their platform.

Walmart online is really becoming a better option than Amazon and their shipping is usually faster now as well.

If you read what the product is that your buying then you would not have this problem. People bargain shop on Amazon and buy the cheapest thing they can find that looks similar.

I started buying a lot of stuff local again when they decided to jump ahead and charge sales tax in Alabama and lots of places price match Amazon.

No. I haven't had a drop in quality except when I am buying something I know is a knockoff trying to save some money.

I bought two LSU shirts that looked legit that were utter pieces of crap. Wasn’t going to go through the trouble of returning them though.

I don't really buy anything on there anyway. The last thing I ordered was probably two years ago?

I've never bought anything that seemed like a knock-off or counterfeit on amazon.

for the most part, everything we've ordered has still been of good quality if also highly rated. But it's something i could see them needing to clean up pretty soon.

Not really, with a little bit of research and common sense you can sort the good from the shite

But it is annoying that Amazon is being flooded with Chinese knockoff shite. Some of the manufacturers that have thrived on Amazon have become synonymous with quality that rivals more expensive brands you see in brick and mortar stores. Anker and RavPower and brands like that are great alternatives to pricier items by Belkin and whatnot.

But if you want a phone case or charger or some similar item, you've got to sort through tons and tons of mediocre dogshit to find quality versions of the same thing.

In short, not wary, just annoyed.
