    I buy and maintain about $20K of computer equipment a year for my lab. We learned around 2020 Amazon is a nest of scammers, from the suppliers to the delivery people.

    There has been a significant resurgence of local computer supply retail because millions have been ripped off and only now buy in person.

      Yeah, I got burned on some hard drives in like 2018 and won’t use them again. They took no action when I reported the issue with the seller. Thankfully I have a microcenter close enough that I can source most of what I need there.
