Check the authenticity of reviews by using Fakespot.
If you’re thinking of ordering something, but you’re not sure if the reviews are real, Fakespot is where you wanna be. All you have to do is run the Amazon link through and the site will show you a grade of the quality and authenticity of the product’s reviews.

Using your student email address gets six months of free Prime and half off a full membership with Prime Student.
