Wish I could award more points to this comment. After getting a counterfeit power bank recently, I realized that the due diligence I was going to need to do when buying some small additions and replacements to my camping gear was eating so much time it was easier to just go to the store, nvm the hour+ round trip and slightly higher prices.

Can't you open a dispute and get the money back?

You very likely could, and I've always had good experience with Amazon in similar situations, but it still takes a good chunk of your time to wait for the item, open it, realize it is not the actual item, contact Amazon for a refund, package it back up again, and drop it off/schedule a pick-up.
