I keep seeing some reviews with bootlegs and bad packaging, also seeing perfect reveiws. I see in the ratings it has been high reviews. What do I do?

You gotta watch what seller it's from. Amazon sometimes just like lumps all the reviews into one product page. If it ships from China, it's probably a bootleg. If it's from Japan, it's probably legit.

If it's for a child they will love it. The one I recieved was a good quality. Not soft smooth material like the others I've purchased but more like a thick felt. It's really pretty and looks great with my daughters collection of eevees.

Packaging seemed to be good from this retailer. These are coming from japan so there are alot of places where the box could get damaged in shipping. Either way, the push shouldnt get damaged. If you are that worried about it, you can wait until you find one in stores (my Gf found a Charmander from Tomy, but idk what store it was from). The only problem is that they sell out quick in the states

I've notice that, too. Looking at buying a receiver and all of them seem to have this rate. Is it perhaps sample size? Most of them seem to have less than 100. Sometimes I wonder if the negative stories are real. But in one case I trust the person and the review is real.

Buy from a reputable seller like Amazon; it should be fine - Amazon has good return policies, so if you found it to be a knockoff, return it.

I looked on everything that has printing on these discs including the packaging, and nowhere is the word "Umedisc" written on either the discs themselves or the packaging. They just say Optical Quantum and what I do know for certain is that I received 100 discs that don't work. My assumption is based on using approximately 15 of them from different positions in the package and there are 100% failures. My batch of Verbatim's that I just purchased are all working perfectly. By the way, the Verbatim's are available from a source other than Amazon for less money than Amazon charges. So shop wisely and carefully!

Be careful with that store. Reseller Ratings has them listed and the customer comments are concerning.

Same feeling here. I have never seen a product with 93 5-star reviews and only 1 one negative, 1-star. Nothing in-between. Seriously??? Plus a number of people have mainly Ozeri reviews. Plus all these reviews are extremely frequent: one every few days. What are the chances???

I purchased two items from Amazon warehouse that were labled as "used - like new". One was a 32 inch TV and the other was a home theater system. Both items came packaged in original box with all documentation. They appeared totally new to me, as if they came right from the factory. You could tell by the way the set was placed in the box that it had never been removed. There were absolutely no blemishes of any kind and both items work perfectly. I saved a LOT of money. Bottom line, if it says used - like new, you are safe to assume it will be in excellent condition. Besides, if there is a problem, you have 30 days to return for a full refund. And if the item doesn't work, Amazon will pay the return shipping I think. I purchased two items from Amazon warehouse that were labled as "used - like new".

If Amazon doesn't start to police the gaming of their reviewing system (which is rampant, IMHO) being done by authors and third party sellers, they may as well stop with the reviews. I've been burned a couple of times by products that have 5 star reviews that ended up in my trash bin upon delivery. Sure, there are good 3rd party sellers out there, but how can I tell the good from the bad? I'm done with 3rd party sellers. It's either Amazon selling it or I don't buy it.

It's a gamble if you do not purchase directly from Amazon. There are a lot of bootleg versions of this figure, and resellers may or may not even know the difference.

Hi Seth. I red some bad reviews about this computer too.But these are not about reviewed this computer. More like sellers. I guess I got lucky. Mine is all fine as I wrote my review about this computer. This computer is hard working machine! !

The Clarasonic that I purchased was unopened, in original packaging and verified as real? I read the reviews regarding counterfeits which made me very reluctant to make a purchase. I decided to make the purchase and as soon as I received it, I immediately contacted Clarasonic to register my Mia2 and spoke to thenm about counterfeit units. they went thru a series of identifier for counterfeit units. i gave them the serial numbers and they registered it with no problem. My sister also purchased a Mia 2 and had no problem registering her Mia2.

If the seller was Amazon I don't believe you would receive a bootleg product. My purchase was boxed and the box was sealed with Cellophane. Did you receive yours in a similar fashion, was the box sealed in plastic? If not you may want to check the return policy. Good luck

My only suggestion is to check the reviews. If there is a large number of reviews and the good outweighs the bad you should be fine.

I have the same problem, the DVD's are not pirated, they came from Amazon in their original package and sealed. Has anyone found a solution? Or do I need to return them?

Great question...I've had the same experience. Unfortunately, it's likely not "the real product" even though you'll get the official box & accessories. Every disc (in the set I received) worked with the exception of the fitness test.

Hi, I'm a part of the Fluenz team. Thanks for taking an interest in our software and for your concern over Amazon remaining a valuable place for people looking to get objective reviews. We've been selling at Amazon for about a year and a half now. Over the course of that time, Amazon has contacted thousands of our users directly, and hundreds of them have responded by posting Seller Reviews. I bring this up because the Seller Reviews--4.8 stars from nearly 300 people--mirror the general feelings of the product reviews. There are a few negative ones in there (one person hated that he had to use the DVD, another experienced a shipping mistake, others had some usability issues), but overall they're very positive. And the only way anyone can submit a Seller Review is if they actually buy a Fluenz program at Amazon, and Amazon contacts them directly asking for their comments. Of course all the reviews on our product pages are real, but I think pointing you to these Seller Reviews is the easiest way to show this. You can read these reviews here:
