A. To mitigate issues with inconsistent product quality, always check product reviews and ratings before making a purchase. Look for products with a high number of positive reviews and detailed feedback from other customers. If you receive a product that does not meet your expectations, you can initiate a return through your account settings under 'Your Orders'.

B. Consider purchasing items that are fulfilled by Amazon rather than third-party sellers, as these often have stricter quality control measures in place.
