So what's actually happening here? Amazon is allowing fraudsters to sell on their site, or someone within Amazon is switching products before they're delivered. I would have thought this could easily be avoided by only ordering from authorised sellers.

If only. Search for Amazon commingling. There's no way for you to know which seller's box gets sent to you.

From the CCTV phone delivery story, it sounds like fraud by some delivery drivers?

That one does.

The one in the shop sounds a bit more suspicious to me. Who goes to collect an Amazon parcel from the Amazon Hub drop-off point and then opens it on the counter --conveniently in front of the CCTV camera-- rather than waiting til you get home, or into your car?

If I was investigating that one, I'd suspect a scam worked out between shop-keeper and customer.
