problem with a vendor, but I do check out their ratings and reviews first.
I've found Amazon's ratings to be unreliable.

There are some fake/purchased reviews, and some real ones. If you sift
through, you might be able to sort them out. Two years ago TurboTax
(Intuit) had a laughable number of fake reviews.
I'm trying to steer clear of them, just on principle.



This after shopping on
Amazon fer yrs. I even used to have Prime. No more.

I bought a banjo stand based on over 100+ reviews that gave the item a
five star rating. I ordered it, based soley on its Amazon rating and it's
basically a piece of junk. The reviews had to be bogus.
