To answer your question about tape and cable ties, BestBuy will offer rewards points for writing reviews and sometimes offers bonus points for certain products.
Im sure they're also doing some review cleaning like Amazon does where if the review is negative they will moderate it more aggressively. After all, badly rated products hurt the entire storefront so it is in their best interest to keep "bad" products off.
But that said I still will trust BestBuy over Amazon. I know items from BestBuy are not being co-mingled with potential knockoffs and returns are pretty easy for items that are terrible.
