![]() ![]() I bought one tool on Ebay as well, which was legit, and it was a large seller but obviously not an authorized dealer…who knows where they get their stuff sometimes. Or perhaps like CPO when they lost their dealership rights (they still have some surreptitiously listed Milwaukee products on their site but pretty much zero advertising or logos). With that brown box, I contacted Milwaukee to inquire about legitimacy and all was well.Ī lot of companies have gone under since the pandemic, too, so the auction and liquidation market has been strong…so obtaining stock that way is a possibility. The other tools were in normal retail boxes. One item arrived in a plain brown chipboard box, which I understand is (or was?) the typical bulk packaging used for warranty replacements or fleet sales (so to speak) at service centers and some industrial suppliers. All were third party sellers, a couple of which seemed dubious (home/garage sales, not “real” businesses). I’ve bought three tools and a number of batteries via Amazon over the last 6 years or so and all have been legit (and two of those batteries were crappers and I got warranty replacements on those from Milwaukee with no trouble). ![]() ![]() This is really crappy in some ways but it happens a lot (most recently with a crap ton of import Chinese products from sellers who broke rules in various ways, primarily ratings and direct customer contact for same, or backdoor refunds for “free” products). With Amazon listed as the seller (not just the platform shipper) it could be that a third party seller was forcefully removed and their stock absorbed into Amazon’s for sale. ![]()
