HappyNemTrue. Most of the times Amazon has better prices but the problem is counterfeiting. I've lately opted buying from Massdrop because Amazon is plagued with fake products.

aalhI think people are trying to spread the counterfeit story to try to get people to not shop with Amazon. They are quiet literately destroying everyone in sales and any kind of bad press is good press for any other competitor. I do most of my online shopping from amazon 1st and I have never once gotten a counterfeit item.
I'm not saying it does not happen from time to time, but if you just look a LITTLE bit before you buy something you will be fine. It is pretty easy to read reviews and see who is selling an item and their over reviews... yes reviews can be faked but not when you get into the 1000's level. Also, only really popular things get counterfeited to make a profit off the name. I seriously doubt a Microplane Zester is on the radar for counterfeiters.
The one I linked has 1,155 reviews out of which 88% are 5 star, The negative reviews have nothing to do with being a fake item, its all they didn't like it or a manufacturers defect. Its being sold by MMP Living who is a 5 star review with 16,507 reviews @ 99% positive. With praises for their customer service. This would be a pretty safe bet to order.
I will say name brand cables, cords and small easy manufactured items are having problems... try to find a Iphone headphone adapter that actually works on amazon!

HappyNemWell, I do all my shopping online and only 1 time I got a fake item. But 5 other times I decided to buy from manufacturer or massdrop because of review and pictures of fake items received from an Amazon vendor.
E.g. Try getting a Samsung OEM **original phone charger and you'll have a hard time trying to figure out which one is not fake before ordering. I checked the Microplane zester and there are indeed fakes.
