> I wouldn't buy an HDD from Amazon for instance due to their crazy shipping shit
I stopped buying anything electronic from Amazon because one power to USB adapter burned up, tripped a circuit breaker, and it broke my fridge. Luckily, that was the only other thing I had plugged into that circuit at the time.
Another big issue was my friend bought an Apple power adapter that started smoking after a few hours of it being plugged into the wall.
Scary stuff, especially when you consider anything that goes on or in your body could be counterfeit too.
It's a weird story but I ordered a kids plate from Amazon. I ordered 2 that were totally fine but when I ordered a 3rd one, it was completely different quality, seemed to be a different material, and had a weird smell to it. It was "Prime" but almost immediately, you could tell it was a different product.
This has happened to me a bunch and I've heard crazier stories about people ordering supplements/vitamins and getting fake bottles :(
I don't trust Amazon as much either outside of a few products I trust + majority of common electronics. I wouldn't buy an HDD from Amazon for instance due to their crazy shipping shit.
Also, their shipping is so fucking unreliable. I get delays on my packages at least twice a month, and they've lost packages before :(
