Did you buy them off Amazon, or from a reputable reseller? I ask because Amazon mixes third party inventory together with first party inventory, so it's impossible to tell if you're getting a genuine product or a counterfeit.

They are on the way of ending commingling, thankfully.

this is great news, but:

>To avoid commingling, sellers have long had the option to apply a unique, seller-specific Amazon barcode — known as an FNSKU (Fulfillment Network Stock Keeping Unit) — to every product. This ensures their inventory is tracked and shipped separately.

... is that really all that was necessary all along? I can see that being a problem for, like, 10 cents worth of stuff, but a lot of the commingling complaints have been around expensive items. It's not zero cost of course, but for your average $30+ thing it doesn't seem very difficult to justify.

Requiring seperate Amazon only sku's (especially if they need it to be printed on the product label) is a giant PITA.

Definitely worth doing, but keeping up with all of Amazon's compliance requirements requires a fairly robust logistics system.

Amazon charges you for the “privilege”

Unless things have changed, Amazon is the official and only reseller for Anker products in Canada and probably many other countries.
