    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

        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.

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