It is fine for, like, getting an HDMI cable.

I would never buy something from Amazon that touched my food.

Electronics more complicated than a cable require some review, figuring out if there's a reputable brand underneath, etc.

Only true for what are, now, low-end HDMI cables. Really difficult to get a good one that's actually within spec for high-bandwidth applications.

I highly recommend Blue Jeans Cable - https://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/hdmi-cables/hdmi-cable....

Their cables were the only ones that consistently delivered full promised bandwidth and stable connection even at long cable lengths. Plus, their email support has been very helpful, and had the same “quality cables, no bullshit” attitude as the rest of the website.

No affiliation, just a happy customer of 5+ years.

Blue Jeans seems to have pretty reasonable prices, too, although I didn't look at shipping.

I've found Monoprice's higher-end HDMI cables to be reliable.

+1, BJC is the place to go for custom AV cables not tainted by audiophile snake oil.
