Oh deary me, I'm not having much luck with Amazon of late. My AD584-M from eBay decided to fry some Tants and resistors, so I thought I'd get a really good one with the calibration certificate stuck on the back, this time from Amazon. Ordered it yesterday, arrived about 40 minutes ago, opened it up, Boom, no calibration sticker.
Just been speaking to Amazon customer service again, and its going back later today as a suspect fake unit. I ordered what was supposed to be a KKmoon one with calibration sticker on, about 3 times the price of the eBay ones, so I thought, I'd got a genuine one. What in blue blazes is happening today, does no-one actually care any more or feel guilty about what they are doing
This is what I got This is what I ordered
I have 2 of genuine KKmoon units with the cal stickers. Purchased from Amazon. So you probably did get fakes.
Yeah, customer services have already instigated the freezing of that sellers other units for inspection. It seems that Amazon do actually care about the selling of counterfeit gear on their platform, especially when they themselves are fulfilling the order on the sellers' behalf.
I dunno that I'd consider KKMoon any kind of a "brand". They slap their name on all the cheapest China-direct crap out there, and I know from experience (I've been buying their goods ever since I started down all the
little whirry flying things rabbit-hole) that they do not give a flying fuck (or, in my application, a not-flying fuck
) which of many shithole factories it may come out of, as long as they supply at the right price in time for the next containerload to go out.
In short...
I have no doubt there is a good likelihood your product came from an "authorized" KKMoon distributor through their own channels. I have been amazed by the level of quality associated with that brand many times for over a decade; both on the positive swing of the wave and the negative.
They are the epitome of China-direct electronics: There is potential to get amazing bang/buck; however there is also the chance you'll get utter crap, and
the only rhyme or reason that seems to obtain is supply & demand vs shipping schedules. mnem
