| >I have literally never received a fake/clone/scam off amazon, and I can't explain that discrepancy. Shopping patterns? I buy a lot of things, not just for myself but as gifts for a large family. I have found some areas are so filled with scams that I no longer buy items from those areas on Amazon. Other areas (which make up the majority) I have no problem at all, at worst getting a slightly delayed or damaged box. Any sort of name brand small electronic was a scam more times than not to the point now I no longer order them off Amazon. But books, board games, or video games have been 100% what I payed for. As far as I can tell I've never received a fake Amiibo, though a few times I never had it delivered and had to call for a refund. Even my few orders of used electronics have been good (though I never did get around to converting my used PS Vita into an emulation center). Food is good too, but I rarely buy it and only for a few specific items as most other things are far too overpriced. Mainly I order tea and I pay close attention to who is filling the order. Gardening supplies are probably the most mixed bag of the bunch. Often enough I don't get the seeds I order but it can sometimes be fun to see what actually does spout up. Result: A few areas: 90%+ rip offs. A few other areas: 50/50. Most areas: 100% good. As a side note, on anything I buy I go read the 1 star reviews and skip if they mention fakes or if there aren't any at all. |
There's either a massive influx of stupidity, or this is deliberately useless one-stars to drown out useful ones.
