Does Amazon have a policy guaranteeing it won't ship items sourced from commingled inventory with its sellers when you purchase "Ships by and Sold by Amazon.com"?

I heard that you can get items from random small sellers (including counterfeit items and used items being packaged as new) even when you think you are purchasing only from Amazon. I haven't bought anything on Amazon since.

I don't know. Some claim that up until 3 years ago, Amazon was still commingling their own inventory, but they have stopped since then. However I can't find any authoritative source to confirm this.
