Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just received my TOMS today, which I ordered through Amazon Fulfillment. They seemed very authentic, and, at first, I was very pleased that I didn't get a fake pair like some of the reviews had warned about. Then I looked at one of the papers that came in the box. It was an invoice sheet for someone, who is not me, for an order placed nearly a year ago. I realized that probably meant that these were a stolen pair of TOMS and the person who ordered them originally never got them. So, I called TOMS and talked to a rep about the invoice. She informed me that Amazon.com is NOT an authorized TOMS seller and that a purchase through Amazon.com is not backed by the TOMS One for One movement. I was very sad to hear this as I was excited to be a part of giving a pair of shoes to a child in need. I had to share my discovery in the hopes that people will read this and stop buying TOMS from Amazon, regardless of the lower price. Is a brand name really so important to us that we would forget the most important reason for buying a pair of TOMS? I, for one, will not be keeping this pair, nor will I buy another from Amazon ever again. I would love to wear these TOMS because they are awesome shoes, but I couldn't do that and be proud of the fact that I let a child go without.
