We buy a lot of stuff from Amazon, and never have had problems.

I've also done a few "incentivized" purchases - where I agree in advance to write a review for a large discount. For example, I have a Microsoft Surface 4 Pro and I am in a number of Facebook groups about the MS Surface. I bought a new case from one of my favorite companies (sfbags.com) and posted it to a few groups with photos, and then people starting hitting me up on Facebook. They offer to sell me their product at discount if I agree to write a review with pictures. Then they set up a special sale, give me the link, and then (I guess) quickly close the sale so no one else gets it. You purchased the item so you are a verified buyer, so it looks good when your review goes up.

I've gotten all kinds of stuff like this including monitors, keyboards, and even a laptop.

This is why you see so many reviews with pictures that ramble on about everything under the sun. They want so many words per review so people tend to ramble.
