Fake cable from Amazon?

I had my original Apple cables unfortunately lost and wanted a new cable. Since there are quite a few cheap cables third party, then do not work properly, I wanted an original Apple. I was planning to use this at home on your Mac to connect to the Apple iPhone 5 Dock. Since it looks somehow prettier and the durability is not as important as it is almost never moves. Now there are also quite a lot of fake cables in which although it is original and that are advertised with the Apple product number, but then ultimately not real. I therefore wanted to truly original cable that you can buy in the store and will be delivered in the Apple own cardboard packaging. This article actually everything looked good. To play it safe, I will also again paid extra a few euros more and Amazon chosen as a supplier (and Sold by Amazon). Then came the shipment notification. Sent it was with UPS from Madrid via Paris to Germany. All right. Strange though that Amazon has no cable in German camps but well getting ... I have then: a cable without the original cardboard box from Apple, but just a cable in a transparent plastic bag. Also, it was totally different wound as the Lightning cable in the original box Apple. The bag was then also a sticker with the name [...]. Whether the cable now is genuine or not, I can not say. I have due to the package but strong doubts and am very disappointed that Amazon even offers something!
