> easier to buy from the producer’s website and pay shipping You shouldn't even have to do that and pay shipping. For the last 5 years at least I've had luck going to a more trusted vendor like Best Buy or Target which have comparable free shipping options. And a bonus is that I can go to the store and pick up the item same day if I want. Also Best Buy price matches Amazon, though it's rarely necessary because they all converge on the same prices now anyway.
