I think it's even worse. They have a completely chaotic returns policy meaning they re-sell used things pretending they are new all the time. I stopped buying from Amazon UK after I received 6 opened and used items in just 20 orders. Some were even missing components. I even received used underwear (yuck!) from a brand that sells boxers inside sealed packages and doesn't allow returns. I heard some scammers were exploiting this returns policy by purchasing phones, installing malware, and sending them back to Amazon.

I’m about to start grad school to get my clinical mental health counseling licensure, and Amazon has multiple fake/counterfeit DSM-5s (basically the holy grail of recognized mental disorders and their insurance billing codes) on it, so much in fact that my program director mentioned the Amazon problem in the orientation.

So I’ll add “if you need to guarantee the accuracy of the information in whatever you’re buying… avoid Amazon as well”

Or if it's electronic. Fire risk.

>Good rule of thumb is that if it goes on or in your body do not buy it from Amazon.

If I do that, I always make sure I'm buying from the seller and not a reseller or distributor; I meant to say no other party besides the Seller and Amazon.

I wonder if this applies to Amazon Pharmacy — seems like maybe this might have a bit more governance.

Where's the best value & quality for that sort of stuff? It's insane what some sites charge for seemingly simple supplements.
