This is the inherent problem with Amazon's support of 3rd party vendors through their platform, and the general lack of quality controls.

I increasingly use specific companies for purchases, because I can't guarantee that what I order through Amazon will actually be the product I wanted, or be at the quality level I'd expect. It's getting to be absolutely awful.

This is interesting because you often hear Amazon treats its 3rd party sellers poorly - perhaps they are driving away the quality sellers?

Yeah I've largely migrated my purchases off of Amazon for exactly this reason.

Checking now, I placed 83 orders last year. I've placed 3 so far this year.
