Amazon Prime increasing rates

Yeah that was my point. If you know it’s a knock-off and that’s what you want, fine. But I don’t want to be mislead to buying, for example, a specific brand of shampoo and then get it & it smells and looks different but is in the same bottle as my shampoo.

There’s a lot of bait & switch going on in the Amazon marketplace.
I bought a Zero Tolerance pocket knife off Amazon a few years ago. Figured it out past the return window. I escalated the issue and amazon refunded my money and "let" me return it. I believe that they try to deal with the knockoff fraud, but the shear volume of products and sellers would make it all but futile.

I am very particular about making sure I use shipped and sold by amazon unless I know specifically what I am looking for and who is selling it.

And I definitely price shop. Amazon isn't always the lowest. Before I changed brands, I was going back and forth on dog food between Amazon, Chewy and PetSmart. Now I am strictly Tractor Supply.
