never had an issue since they started separating the third-party inventory from their stock. just make sure it's sold by Amazon.

That is anything but 100% reliable. Have had Sold By Amazon items with stickers on a box you know didn't come from the Manufacturer that way.

When was that?

[–] DreddNYC@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mine was sold by Samsung and it was still counterfeit.

sold by Samsung on Amazon means it's in a pile with everything sold by anyone. no surprise it's counterfeit
