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
Even then sometimes manufacturers will still use Amazon for fulfillment and shipping. I agree though, the shopping experience is pretty awful and I try to avoid it
Where do you shop online?
If you're willing to wait for a month, that might work.
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.
offline or directly from sellers' webStores
