Is there any problem with buying RAM from somewhere other than the manufacturer?

If I buy Crucial or Mushkin RAM from somewhere other than Crucial.com or Mushkin.com, is it exactly the same thing that I would get from those sites? For example, if I buy Mushkin from NewEgg.com, is it the same as I could get from Mushkin.com? Is there anything I need to watch out for?

Also, I've heard a lot of people talking about Samsung RAM. Is it good? And what is all that about people using Samsung chips to make "fake" Samsung RAM, and is that any good? Any comments about best RAM brands would be appreciated.

There, I think that's enought RAM questions for now. :D

Thanks!
