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.
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.
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.

Did they have the same ISBN?

Wow. I thought you were heading towards it being self-published with fake accreditation or something. Did not expect this.
not suprising, amazon is just aliexpress but with 1-2 day shipping.
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

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.
