Definitely. There's lot of fake climbing gear on Amazon, and unrated equipment posing as 'safe climbing gear'. And even if it's fulfilled by Amazon, Amazon conmingles products from multiple vendors into buckets, which could lead to you getting a fake carabiner or belay device.
It's literally life or death purchases, and climbing forums have to warn people to avoid Amazon because the risks are so high.
