I would agree with this sentiment. There are certain things you don't buy from Amazon, and they include spark plugs, O2 sensors, Under Armor, etc
In the end, do what you want, I'm just here to warn. People are really willing to damage an engine that probably costs anywhere between 8 and 15 thousand dollars to replace in order to save 12 dollars on spark plugs. Makes sense to me.

The plugs in that video were sold as "Amazon's choice" and were fake made in china junk.

I bought some off amazon a few years back out of necessity. The insulator on my plug broke and the nearest auto store was 5 or more miles away, but only way to get there was the freeway. Got them the next day and comparing them to the NGKs in my car, the quality looked off.
On the NGK website, they actually have a page for identifying counterfeit plugs and these checked every box. I did end up getting a ride over to Autozone and getting my plugs, which ended up only costing me and extra 50cents per plug.
Amazon refunded the money and initially wanted me to return the item to the seller, but when I replied "Can I send it back in the original bubble wrap, tape it up and slap a new label on it" they ended up telling me I didn't need to send it back and refunded me the money. I still have them sitting in my glovebox, not so much for an emergency, but as a conversation piece. Last thing I want is to extract a broken spark plug from my head. lol
Issue is, except for FEW items (items that were requested by manufacturers TO Amazon due to fakes), Amazon will be binning the 3rd party items and Amazon's own items in same bin as long as they have same SKU number which is the case for many of the fake items. So, is there a chance you will get a genuine item? Yes, is there chance you get a fake item? Also Yes.
Besides, for these, you don't really save much $$ to begin with to take chance IMHO.

TIP: Don't be afraid to ask them to discount the parts. I've been able to get them to knock off 10%-15% many times. It all depends on the dealer, how often you buy and how much you spend but you never know till you try...
Some things aren't worth the risk and Amazon is too risky
