B&H and Home Depot have been two solid services for things they sell. Former is computers and photography. Both of them ship pretty damn fast.

Honestly, what convinced me to start using them was how increasingly difficult it is to get quality items on Amazon. Sifting through garbage gets old fast.

Shout out to B&H. I bought my drone from them, and they offered the same model bundle at a slightly lower price than Amazon and also offered next-day shipping for no charge.

They also have a physical retail store and real live people you can call if you have a question, unlike either winding up talking to a chatbot or being redirected to Mumbai after a 45 minute hold.

I don't know these guys from a hole in the ground other than that, but they beat Amazon and that was good enough for me.

Agreed, and there's also the bonus of much less likely to get a counterfeit item.
