    True, but nothing major, and nothing in recent weeks.

    At this point, I’m waiting to hear back from Amazon. I’d prefer to just return these (2nd box came yesterday) and let them sort it out.

    Maybe? The hole in the system is that Amazon doesn't care what address you ship to, it just needs to be a completed order. So someone creates an account, ships it somewhere valid, then gets to leave a positive glowing review. You can't leave a review because *you* didn't order it. You can't get a return tag because you didn't order it.

    They just clamped down on sellers who would ship garbage to addresses, fill out 5-star ratings and then replace the photos and product descriptions on that SKU with the product they wish to sell. I suspect what you received might be defective/returns/unsalable items. They can't change the SKU, so they'll dispose of their garbage for $45 in shipping and turn that into a 5 star review. Worse thing about it is, you can't easily dispose of that thing because of the refrigerant.

    I'm pretty much done ordering from Amazon. I was shown Scotch 33+ in contractor packs, received Scotch 33+ in retail packs, which is a third less tape. Ordered other products that were clearly knock offs and counterfeit products.

    Hmmm. OK.

    i didn’t order this stuff. It wasn’t charged to me. If Amazon doesn’t care, and won’t take it back, then it all goes to the local St. Vincent de Paul donation center.
