None of my negative reviews about scammers have ever been approved by Amazon. I have just started taking my business elsewhere.

Amazon filter out those sort of reviews "because theyre not about the product but the supplier". Of course, they don't make it easy to report the supplier.

I've bought ssr relays rated at 40A, with the actual picture of the real product shown. What I got was a fake that was literally an electrical fire waiting to happen. Maybe my complaint to support actually made it to the supplier, because they Photoshop blurred the product picture listing so the real brand name was obscured. Still had phony specs though.

At this point I only really buy things from Amazon that are essentially fungible. Cables, adapters, toiletries, tools, none of these matter enough to me to care about exactly what I get, as long as it’s roughly what’s in the picture, and to be honest they’re not even worth counterfeiting.

For everything else there’s rarely a reason to not buy directly from brands or niche specialist retailers. Customer support is typically better, warranties are often better, repair processes are better, and that’s not to mention the issue of counterfeiting.

Toiletries? You trust Amazon to not swap out your lotion with a cut-rate adulterated copycat?

These are things that don't really matter to me, the point is that I don't really care if they get switched for "cut rate", I'm practically buying the cut-rate version already. That's what Amazon is good for.

Man that annoys me so much, in my case it was a silent removal. You're not aware that your review was removed.

The things I don't buy from Amazon Prime really anywhere are replacement batteries.
