> Amazon is also failing to handle rampant knock-offs mixed in with legitimate products

This is the only thing I worry about. Granted, I don't think I've personally ever gotten a knock-off but the fact that the possibility exists makes me much more cautious about ordering from amazon.

Some items are much more prone to being counterfeit than others.

If you order a Lego set, you're going to get a Lego set.

But when it comes to industrial stuff, I can't even shop there anymore. Anything labeled as OEM (batteries, auto parts, etc) is a prime candidate for counterfeiting.
