I've experienced this problem as well. I really wish a customer review of an Amazon purchase were tied to a particular seller.
For example, I was recently looking at a Hario Buono kettle [1] to make coffee. There are two versions of it, one made in Japan and one made in China. Unfortunately they share the same model number. The Japanese version is considered better quality.
Of course Amazon has the lowest price compared to specialty coffee retailers, but since they don't differentiate between the two origins, it's a gamble. Different third party sellers stock one version or the other. You can see in the reviews that people have received both. Without the reviews being tied to a particular seller, it's hard to say what you'll get, so I'll end up buying from somewhere else instead.
