Product says "By Samsung" but "Sold by PVCS." How do you know what you're getting from Amazon?

It just means that it is sold by that other company. Its the same concept as stores like Walmart or Target. It is the name brand but that specific store is selling.

If you buy the cable through Amazon prime you will get the real cable, but some of the "other sellers" are selling knockoffs that aren't the OEM cable and don't even have the same offset micro-usb connector so that they don't fit the phones. If you order and get a non-OEM cable, which can be identified by the Samsung logo and part numbers on the connector, then demand that they send you a call tag and a refund.

Well, what I got was a genuine Samsung product, but it wasn't in packaging that would be displayed in a store. Retail packaging means it looks as if it came from the store...like tmobile or AT&T.;

The item I received is not looks like it is shown in the product photo. It has the brand name as "TIGER" (and tiger head) instead of "SAMSUNG".Part is compatible and working fine.

Perhaps none of the responses is right or wrong. Amazon pools the same sku numbers unless a particular supplier creates their own special one. So, everyone's "mileage" may vary since the battery you get may come from one of all the suppliers of this item. It's pretty poor in my view, but I would think Amazon, with its excellent reputation would stand behind you as the one in the pic is the original one and the description says it's the OEM battery from Samsung. Therefore, if it isn't, you should be able to return it in my view. It would also be VERY helpful if the person leaving the comment could say which actual supplier Amazon was fulfilling the order with. That may give us a better caveat meter to use.

You'd probably have to check the packaging as it'd be through Sony, not Amazon. Sony always has a warranty paper provided with that info, as do most companies.

Mine say "FULFILLMENT BY AMAZON Amazon warehousedeals" in which case I think it's a bit more reliable than "just a 3rd party vendor". I've had success with them, but I haven't bought too many times from them. I think J. Bevier's response is right *if* it says that ("Amazon warehousedeals" etc.)

It appears to be sold by Park Deals. I didn't save the packaging but I think it is at least endorsed by Samsung.

I am concerned about that too. Amazon's policies forbid selling counterfeit products, but some of their 3rd party associates have been accused of doing that anyway. Amazon seems to police unethical and illegal activity, but how aggressively I can't be sure. My feeling is that PSPC (the manufacturer) would complain loudly if they had specific evidence that an Amazon associate was selling counterfeit products. However, the only way we can be certain is to buy it from our vets and pay their profit margins. Who knows, that might be the smarter call.

Call Samsung, they were very helpful. Unfortunately because the device was not "original" as stated in the description, I ended up returning mine. (Serial number on bottom of unit didn't match any numbers in the Samsung database, I wrote about this in my review). Sorry.

Mine was - I don't know what Amazon is currently offering. I only buy new, but Amazon guarantees what they sell.

I admittedly came very close to pulling the trigger on this TV this past weekend. However, another $200 off an already competitive price seemed too good to be true. So I read the fine print on this supposed "rebate". I also visited some other retailers' websites, including Samsung's. Everyone else is promoting it as a "reward certificate" for Mounted Memories products only. It is NOT being advertised as a cash rebate at all. For Amazon to advertise $200 cash off the sale price is very misleading. They need to correct this immediately. I look forward to hearing Amazon's response to this.UPDATE: Looks like the "rebate" was taken down within the last hour. I hope Amazon took care of you guys.

The two I received were NOT Polycom power supplies, but generic ones. Ironic that their ad says 'do not accept generic', and that is what they ship. Amazon really needs to remove this from their 'Prime' program if their not shipping the advertised Item.

I just got off the phone from a representative at Lifeproof. They said that Amazon is not a official supplier of their product. The Amazon ad says by "lifeproof" sold and ship by Amazon. It is not official sold and shipped by Lifeproof. The only way you can tell that the product is really or not is the serial number. There are two serials numbers one located on the inside of the case and a second located on the back. I believe it has two pieces to the case. If someone that has ordered this product from Amazon would be willing to check the serial and call lifeproof for everyone well. That would sure make me Merry!

It says Philips, and it's sold as a Philips bulb assembly.If you discover it is not, report to Amazon you were sold a fake, and Amazon will correct the error or see that you get your money back. Amazon does not take fraud, lightly, and unlike other auction sites [the big B, comes to mind, that could care less], Amazon will make it right. Their solid reputation, is built on consumer trust, and they are not going to throw that away, for some two bit scammer.

When you buy from a vendor outside Amazon on Amazon.com, you are purchasing the Item from an Amazon.com approved dealer. Usually the dealer has a much better description of the product, because they have it right in front of their faces, Amazon.com does neither manufacture or market these Mp3 players, though in this instance Amazon's description is correct. in the end, It is the same product if they are both new, So I recommened getting your product through who you feel you most trust with your product.

I had a samsung with international waranty and I needed to use it since my phone has broken but Samsung position is that they do not issue this kind of waranties for smartphones and that the waranty was issued by the supplier, not by Samsung. So, I contact Amazon, which is the supplier, and they are going to refund the price I paid for the phone, which is good actually.
