I recently bought a Parmak electric fence charger (horses, pigs, etc.) and when it came down to it I used Parmak's own site. I knew that it would take 3-7 days to get it but I wanted to make sure it was actually from Parmak and not a knockoff. Lightning strikes and a 3 year warranty. This may not be typical but anecdotally our family is purchasing most things directly from the company or going to an authorized dealer. It's just not worth the long tail hassle dealing with Amazon any longer...for us.
- robertcope 7y agoI find myself doing the same thing. I might use Amazon to find a product, but I end up going to the manufacturer's site to buy it. I also want to make sure that I'm looking at the latest version of the product, too.
- thirdsun 7y agoIt’s my experience that there’s usually a sweet spot between ordering directly from a slow, traditional, maybe slightly more expensive than necessary official manufacturer store and amazon: The specialized enthusiast store that’s usually slightly under the radar but known to anyone in the field. For me it’s often bicycle kit, audio gear or just japanese sencha - all of the those categories are much better served by non-amazon shops that have been around for a long time, offer competitive pricing and are selling genuine, curated products only. I’m sure there are also great shops for the items you’re looking for.
