A Warning

I just looked on Amazon and the only GC gift cards they have are sold by GC itself. I'm thinking GC screwed it up (imagine that ).

 

If there truly is a problem…let Amazon know and I’m very sure there will be a refund to your stepdaughter.

 

I hate gift cards.

 

Never look a gift card in the mouth.

 

There are many critical things one could say about Amazon, but they don't deal in counterfeit goods.

If your stepdaughter got it there, it's legit and the issue is elsewhere. Hopefully good news coming.

 

you gotta be kidding me. I have gotten counterfeit Markley bass strings, counterfeit Columbia outerwear, counterfeit Hanes t-shirts, counterfeit computer parts…I have a list somewhere. Third party sellers are the worst for this but Amazon gets them too. It’s a huge problem and they’re aware of it, but they deal in such volume I don’t see how they could possibly address it.

 

Amazon has rules against counterfeit goods, but the fact is the site is flooded with them.

Here's a NYTimes article about what to do if your Amazon purchase is fake.

 

This is a false statement. A lot, if not most items on Amazon are counterfeit. My brother has a metal detector company and there are many of "his" detectors on Amazon, but none are made by him. He gets warrantee claims every day for those fakes, because the buyers thought they are real. They are Chinese knock offs marketed under his name with copies of his labels and paperwork. He has complained to Amazon, but they don't do anything to stop it. If you do a search, you will find articles about all the fake items sold on Amazon

 

It's either "fulfilled by Amazon" or "Fulfilled by" Someone else. Never trust it, if it's not fulfilled by Amazon.

 

No.

This is probably where the risk is, I agree.

 

Well yes, the NYT does utilize some difficult vocabulary at times, so I see your struggle there.

 

Amazon is a crapshot now. To many knockoffs. After getting a bum set of lithium batteries a couple years ago, I really don't buy much from them. It's as bad a as fleabay for fakes, but worse due to volume!!

 

lmao

 

I can't say that their marketplace sellers don't. But they don't. LYAO until it hurts, doesn't change the reality.

 

Why are you insulting him?

 

Yes
