but is this a common issue/is it even possible/have I been sold a counterfeit kit? AFAIK it has GSKILL seals and foils on the box/kit.

I haven't heard much about counterfeit stuff lately. It's possible but I think it's more likely to be a manufacturing/quality control issue than that.

The reason I thought counterfeit at first is that the kit was shipped from China (I know, cliche, and they are literally manufactured there)...

Buying through an unknown private seller in some countries does increase the likelihood of getting something inauthentic. Whether it's an SSD, RAM, flash drive et al.

Flash drives sometimes have fake storage sizes, SSDs sometimes have junky read/write speeds. Lots of odd stuff is being sold out there.
