I feel your pain, recalling the last time I moved out. Buying anything on Amazon is a disaster.

Friendly tip. Go to a local supermarket or department store and get what you need there. The item will for sure come from a normal manufacturer/brand and satisfy the local regulations against toxic plastic and stuff, even if it was made and imported from china.


We've been having good luck seeking out manufactures and buying directly from them instead of using amazon. It's often cheaper.
