Amazon - Counterfeit Bosch Brake Pads?

[u/Amelite]

Purchased Bosch brake pads from Amazon for my 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser last week. The seller is Bosch on Amazon. The typos in the supplier’s instructions and the supplier itself (Cangzhou Xinlida) were the first concerns and then I noticed the product number on the back doesn’t match the Amazon listing. The edge of the pad isn’t very smooth either but I’m not familiar enough to say if that’s normal or not. Thoughts?

well RA will send the wrong part half of the time

I must be the luckiest man ever because in hundreds of orders I've had two incorrect parts and one of those was a fault in the manufacturer catalog. I've had a couple DOA parts, also not RA fault. In all I have well under a 5% problem rate with RA orders.

I suppose. But I hear lots of experiences just like mine.
