the problem of fake products on amazon is getting worse, especially for cheap low-tech products
just had to return a set of plastic Iris boxes that I suspect were fake (lids were missing)... and shopping for alt boxes, most listings have negative reviews that hint at fakes

I think I'm going to actually go to the container store or target or something to pick up the boxes I need... gonna limit buying from amazon for somewhat higher tech, branded products

I don't mind buying no-name Chinese knock-off products so long as they actually sell under their own names. I just like to know when I'm risking it.

I couldn’t even find non-fake socks when I looked there last. It’s getting to not be the first place I look for things.

I wonder if this is part of why Bezos is finding other things to do.
I have no idea what the guy's like, but I would find the destruction of a core business function by tangled internal incentives incredibly disheartening.
