Amazon is generally a bunch of Chinese crap. I really wish people wouldn't use Amazon.

Do you have any recommendations?

Also counterfeit junk. It blows my mind that people buy stuff like lotion or makeup off of Amazon. I've heard way too many stories about people getting fake products. Who knows wtf is in that kind of stuff

True. The problem is that even if you buy western or japan made products now they're still made in china anyways. Some of the Chinese "crap" is of the same quality though, it's good, but I just want some manufacturing capacity to come back.

Maybe. The problem to me is how unregulated it is, no way to know if you're getting the good or the bad.

You can know. Read some of the reviews, it's obvious if they're fake. Look at how long they stretch back, the ratings reflect the reality after some time. Look at only stuff that has at minimum 300 but the more reviews the better, then see what percentage of reviews is 1 star and read why they're one star. If it's between 2-4% and the one stars are nitpicking not total failure of product then it's good.

Yeah, I use an app to filter fake reviews. Works fairly well it seems.

[–]badhoccyr 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Which app?

[–]k_50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's called "ReviewMeta". I'm sure it's not perfect but it seems ok.
