You should avoid it, particularly if the iPhone is being offered for an unusually cheap price; these are often activation locked or otherwise useless.

Certainly third party sellers on Amazon are not Apple Authorized Retailers. I don't believe Amazon (meaning you see "Sold by Amazon.com") is an Apple Authorized Retailer either.

It is only "safe" if the product is new and the vendor is Apple certified.
