That is why I think AmazonBasics, Amazon fulfilled and Amazon whitelists are getting incredibly popular. (I am a Costco shopper for similar reason. Only if a similar product is not available on Costco I go to Amazon).

AmazonBasics is no better, they just slap the Amazon brand onto cheaply manufactured goods with no quality control. For instance, the sponsored AmazonBasics cable for the search "USB to USB C" [1] is an extreme fire hazard due to non-compliance with the USB-C spec, as demonstrated by some reviewers.

My Amazon Basics HDMI cables from years ago are the only HDMI cables I've ever had that went bad
