They hide behind their websites. They do not sell name brand products.
Yes large companies like Staple will private brand name brand products.
And sometimes the specifications are less and other times they are not.
Usually, they will tell you who makes it.
However, these small mom and pop or mom and child resellers
intentionally buy noname and put their own name on it. You really
never know what you are getting. Each batch you buy could even be from
a different mfg.
Look, I agree that the OEM prices are out of line. And you would think
that these alternative sellers would have an impact on the market.
However, that does not seem to be the case. Prices are not getting more
reasonable.
