Except a lot of times it’s cheaper on Amazon, with faster shipping, even without prime. Most recent example I ran into.

$65 Amazon![](https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/42139dfd-032a-430f-ad9b-0133462dcf72.webp)
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.
Also, free shipping only kicks in at $35, so technically this doesn’t either.
Only 50% risk of counterfeits, but you save $10!
