Amazon lost its way when in started acting as a storefront for others, rather than a bookstore. In other words, a good twenty years ago.
Tech gear in particular is one of the things that's extremely risky to order from there (along with food, meds, and anything for babies/small children), as there are a lot of fraudulent or damaged goods mixed into their supply. Go to a specialist supplier instead. Newegg isn't great, but at least they don't appear to mix inventory from different sellers the way Amazon does.
Or, if possible, order directly from the manufacturer.
