Won't help. Amazon mixes their stock with "fulfilled by Amazon" stock from third party sellers. So as long as it appears to be the same product it'll end up in the same batch. Funnily enough, due to this even sketchy sellers that provide counterfeit goods using the FBA service might actually sell original products.

this is so infuriating. Why can't you just select to only buy from teh specific seller on Amazon. ARGH. All I want to do is buy makeup and shampoo on there and I can't after having gotten way too many fakes.
