I guess we figured out their algorithm. `if random() < 0.01: make_user_watch_training_video_about_counterfeits`. Even if they actually fixed the problem by having an alarmingly high false positive rate, I don't see how I would ever trust them. For example, some places don't do business with them, so if you see like an Apple cable on there, it wasn't shipped from Apple to their warehouse. Maybe it's real or maybe it's counterfeit, but why gamble?

What's great about Amazon is that they kicked their competitors into gear and there are a lot of reputable vendors that offer cheap overnight shipping now. (B&H is my go to for electronics.)
