You might literally be buying trash on Amazon

I'm glad that a local electronics store ships faster than Amazon usually does even with Prime. I gladly pay the small price difference for the safety and the basic level of phone support of that company. I haven't had any serious issues yet, but the severe decline in product and review quality is obvious and fake products become more and more common.

I still use Amazon for the various products that simply aren't available in stores, but nowadays I first look somewhere else.

Here in the DFW area, I can get same day delivery of some items from Best Buy. I bought my SSD on cyber-monday that way and had it the same day. You do have to check the box that says in-store items or similar. Can't remember the exact name, but that will filter out all of the marketplace items.

Best buy doesn't have marketplace items in the US. They do ship from local stores which might be why checking in store would get the item to you faster.
