It is obviously possible to get very dubious products from what would seem to be a much safer source than black market Chinese peptide dealers, where so far I have had zero problems.
After a ton of research I bought some palmitoylethanolamide PEA capsules on the US Amazon site as it had a better range than the Aus one. And to my surprise they actually worked, after 10 or 15 years of low grade abdominal pain every morning, despite the tramadol, it was more or less gone. Pain was from ulcerative colitis with irritable bowel on top.
When I had nearly ran out I went to buy some more but that brand was not available so I got a different one. When they arrived I was suspicious that the bottle was half the size of the previous one, and the capsules were half the size as well, so I weighed them. The scales are accurate to about 5mg or so , the capsules weighed 300 mg which was interesting as they supposedly had 1000mg of PEA, plus about 450mg of quercetin luteolin etc etc. Not really possible to accidentally sell a pill with less than 1/4 of the advertised stuff inside.
Amazon was happy enough to provide a refund, but I was a bit surprised that something so dodgy made it through the system and had positive reviews. Unfortunately given that they are happy to scam their customers on price/quantity, I have zero faith that they contain the advertised substances.
Brand was Rim Tuku. My first review was deleted, but the second where I just included the facts and that the product was fraudulent got through. Thankfully does not seem to be still for sale.
 
It's great to hear that you had such a favorable response to the PEA!

Amazon is also a storefront, which means third parties can sell their wares on Amazon.com without any other sort of connection to Bezos and company. The review business, yes it is a business, is yet another story.

I had an issue with fake saffron, which wasn't returnable because it was food. I left a scathing review. Someone from Amazon followed up with me, but I was on international travel at the time and I missed it. I only had a week to respond and that window had closed.

The way to tell whether you are buying directly from Amazon, or from a third party, is to check for the shipper and seller listing on the item itself. Also keep in mind that Amazon can be the shipper for 3rd party sales -- these products are typically marked "Fulfilled by Amazon."

3rd party sales are also not bound by Amazon's return policy and are free to write their own, unless they are marked as "Fulfilled by Amazon."
