They were honestly well-made but the fabric and some stitching was wrong. 3) when there was an eclipse (not the most recent one but the one where Trump was watching it without protection) some people were blinded by using counterfeit eye protection bought from Amazon It’s safer to buy direct than going through Amazon.

The issue with buying direct is that it's often fulfilled by Amazon nowadays.

I bought something last week from an OEMs website. It showed up the next day in an Amazon envelope. Nowhere was it mentioned when I checked out.
