For a brand like Jansport, this is a false dichotomy:

Wal-Mart has the same problem, although perhaps not to the same extent.

Does Wal-Mart commingle inventory with 3rd party sellers? That’s the root of the problem in Amazon’s case.

I think the implication is that you can just go drive to walmart, or to some other brick and mortar location.

Yeah I would be much more certain that b&m products were "genuine" than I would be for walmart.com products, which I thought was the topic. I kind of wonder how we've gotten to this point, if we're talking about genuine Wal-Mart products...

I'm not saying this out of snobbery... I'm in Wal-Mart about once a week.

I've encountered a trend of B&M and big retailers carrying counterfeit hair & body care products over the last two years.
