Walmart. I've been Amazon Prime for years, but whenever I need to buy something with a high risk of being counterfeit (printer ink is the most common one for me), I use Walmart - and it's free shipping from them anyway. Really the only difference is that Amazon usually gets it to my door faster.

I don't know the details, but Walmart is also moving towards more of being an online marketplace: https://marketplace.walmart.com/

Is the inventory commingled, are the sellers better vetted, is it obvious that you are buying from a 3rd party and not Walmart, all that I don't know. Just pointing this out.

Target.com is okay for now, but supposedly they are going to start going that way also. These days, I look to purchase on the official brand’s website first, or whichever seller they link to on the brand’s website.
