Going back to Carol’s choice of patio cleaner. What I want to know is, if the third party gets it direct from the manufacturer, given the brand name, what chance do they have of diluting it? Surely the manufacturer itself could be blamed for that? I would expect to receive a sealed bottle of whatever I bought.

On Amazon!!

Recently I read that a lot of the sellers on Amazon are selling diluted or poor quality goods.

I myself have had 3 events in the past 2 weeks to verify this.

One was a frying pan splatter guard which came in perfect packaging but when I undid it, the mesh was bent & the frame a little bit twisted. It didn't sit flat over the frying pan.

I complained & got a replacement.

My other faulty item was a metal filing cabinet. It had a small dent in the corner. I contacted the sellers suggesting they give me a small discount to save us all the hassle of returning it.

They refused at first but when I told them "If you want a good review on Amazon you'd better offer me a discount" They knocked me £10 off which isn't much really but better than nothing...

My point it: I believe they send faulty goods to internet customers in order to get rid of them. Some people wouldn't have bothered about a tiny dent but I did.

Just today on Amazon I went to order Pro -Kleen patio cleaner as I do every year - it's brilliant.
I was surprised to read some negative reviews - some said it wasn't as good as it used to be.

I am wondering if maybe the seller had diluted it?..

With this in mind I went to look for it elsewhere & finally ordered it from the Pro -Kleen website. At least now I should be getting the genuine thing.

Has anybody else had similar experiences with Amazon & do you still trust them?
