I ordered four m.2 chips for a raid and one of them was not like the others. Clearly a diff brand chip with a sticker transferred to it. Had I not bought multiple chips I might not have caught on.
Fuck amazon for anything of value. I now use it only for things like books and cat litter.
Regarding that ... I recently bought a hefty biography on Oppenheimer - should have had more than 500 pages, great reviews. What arrived was a 50-page small format booklet. Not even books are a "safe buy" on Amazon.
Wow. I thought you were heading towards it being self-published with fake accreditation or something. Did not expect this.
Did they have the same ISBN?
I didn't check. I sent it right back. It looks like it was some bait and switch scheme, when I received the book I checked the amazon page and there were many other new complaints about this exact thing.
Amazon damaged their brand name once they started acting like a third-party marketplace. Now it's basically almost like ebay.
Except worse because they mix inventory so it's easier for sellers to get away with scams
For books try https://m.alibris.com/
I don't buy books from them any longer because their packaging is so poor that most of the time books arrive to me damaged from being tossed into a too large box for shipping.
Ha! The put my copy of It's OK to be Angry About Capitalism in a huge box with a 40lbs box of cat litter. The book got compressed like an accordion.
not suprising, amazon is just aliexpress but with 1-2 day shipping.
