Except a lot of times it’s cheaper on Amazon, with faster shipping, even without prime. Most recent example I ran into.
$75 direct
$65 Amazon
Cheap items/electronics can be more expensive on Amazon than direct, though.

Doubt that site has free shipping tho
It doesn’t, but shipping is $5, still way cheaper.

Only 50% risk of counterfeits, but you save $10!
