  • Marketplace bought dozens of products - electronics, cosmetics, sports jerseys and handbags - from popular online retailers. Many of them turned out to be suspected counterfeits and lab tests reveal high levels of heavy metals in some makeup. So, we teach you how to spot the difference between a real deal and a fake. And we ask: who's protecting you from buying counterfeit and sometimes dangerous products online?

      I have used Gillette Mach 3 razors for many years and still do to this day but I buy them at Walmart and have never had a problem. The ones off AliExpress the printing and packaging looked the same and the cartridges looked identical. I couldn't tell a difference at all until I took that first stroke across my face and all it did was pull the hair terribly. I just looked at the cartridge like what is going on? I told my friend no more razors for me off AliExpress, I rather pay more and buy from a reputable source that sells GENUINE Mach 3 razors. My friend has ordered all kinds of junk off that site like cheap Chinese fishing gear. He bought fishing reels and lures that were just garbage.

I think Amazon's problem with this is the biggest issue since the site is so full of dodgy products but has become the go-to place for so much shopping. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to find tons of fulfilled-by-Amazon stuff, Amazon's pick, etc that is counterfeit but I'm not as sure that would be the case for someplace like Walmart.

Another week of back n forth hearing excuse after excuse only to be told to "F**K off and buy a new amp". I finally did get the info I needed to repair the problem from a music store in toronto (a very honest place btw) that wasn't even a Fender service center who provided a link to schematics on Fenders own website no less. Do you think Fender bothered to mention this at any point? hell no. Not only did they use shoddy substandard parts on a very expensive amp they couldn't even bother to make it right.

    A common practice is for the Chinese manufacturers to produce one for their client (Gucci, Coach, Nike, etc.) and also another to sell on the black market (black market often means "legitimate" retailers like big online companies and brick and mortar stores in Chinese shopping malls). That's why "counterfeits" are so good when people buy them in China, because they're often not really counterfeits but a side business for manufacturers who make the real thing. Of course, the real brands don't see a penny of revenue from these sales.

    Counterfeits are bad, an can even be dangerous, sure.
    My problem with this however is with things like having someone replace your screen on a phone, companies like Apple don't sell them to local repair shops, leaving them with the only alternative: the Chinese market... often even from the same factories that produce Apple's original screens.
    These are however labeled as counterfeits and ceased by customs.
    Leaving the customer with the only option being Apple themselves, which has a horrible reputation when it comes to repair.
    CBC did a news piece on this themselves where Apple charged them 1200$ for what ended up being a bent pin, which could either be bent back, or have the cable replaced for around 100$.
    Which honestly gets to the roots of the problem, counterfeits and piracy are not caused by people unwilling to buy the real deal, but when the premium that these companies charge is so ridiculous, and some times so hard to access, that most people just go with the alternative.
    Another problem here is how these items are often also marketed as a status symbol, authentic high end brands shows the world how well you are doing in life, and without them you are sooo basic...
    Yet more issues arrive when exclusivity enters the scene, take those jerseys, if any local tailor could make them and sell them, even if under licence, no one would know the difference between a Nike jersey and a local tailor's jersey.
    The sports teams would still get their cut, fans could show support for their teams without going broke, there could be so much more variety in what is worn at these events.
    But it has to come from big clothing companies, which, let's be honest here, are manufactured anywhere between China and India for minimum wage, terrible working conditions and questionable quality control. (though nowhere near as bad as counterfeits.
    But these companies are often the cause of these counterfeits, and claiming to be the victims of it, blaming consumers for not buying their over priced products and that the customer is putting themselves at risk, denying all responsibility for their role in all of this.
    Again, counterfeits are bad, and can be dangerous.
    I hate them
    But i have 0 sympathy for these companies
    Just sympathy for the customers who are pressured into buying brands they simply cannot afford.

      From what heard they still get seized by customs as counterfeits.
      Refurbished screens as well, made by Apple, sold by apple, broken by consumer, fixed abroad, seized by customs as counterfeits.

    CBC, there should be more tech-savvy reporters on stories like this, who can communicate the technical specifics so that viewers are able to understand what is going on. We can't be sure if they were talking about Amazon selling counterfeits themselves, or 3rd-party sellers selling counterfeits on Amazon's platform.

    I think the rule of thumb is:
    If you care about if the product is legitimate and if you can, walk to any well known retail store (Walmart, Canadian Tire, Shoppers, Costco, etc). If the product is online only, order them directly from the brand's manufacturer.

  • @macdaddydee8515

    I thought this would be a legitimate investigation into fulfillment centers like Amazon and why the company doesn't have a QC inspection/validation process in place for their FBA/Drop shipping.
    I guess Sephora, TheBay, MAC, BestBuy, CanadianTire, HomeDepot, Saks, Holts, Nordstrom, etc etc don't sell any of these items anymore and I need to resort to unofficial eCommerce websites.

    When buying online, you should only buy generic items like say stationary or plastic containers (to keep soap, shampoo), or maybe organizational items. Many online sellers don't titled their merchandise by their brand but by what kind of item it is. Otherwise, just take note of the materials which are often listed. Oh yes, some Chinese sellers do put up pictures of their certificates like their license and safety control, so you might want to look closer at those pictures.
