I've also wondered about Fakespot's accuracy. I just viewed it as one tool when doing online shopping. I'd prefer not to order crap in the first place than try to return something later.

I generally have already decided what to purchase before I load Amazon's website. I also rarely purchase cheap white label products, and so Amazon's reviews are mostly irrelevant to me. I've rarely needed to return items too and recently they were all my fault anyway, eg, not quite the dimensions I thought I needed.
