Benefits of buying SG-3100 direct from Netgate vs. Amazon
-
Is there any advantage to buying direct from Netgate or Amazon?
Both stores list the SG-3100 for $349, the difference is shipping. Netgate estimates 16.23 for UPS ground, while Amazon estimates 11.94. I don't have a strong preference between them - and just over 4 USD isn't going to make much of a difference. In fact, the time spent writing and reading this post probably just blew through that many times over in our combined lost productivity.

Just the obvious:
- Buying via Amazon leaves some transit fees with them. pfSense support from Amazon?
- Buying from Netgate directly rings their bell for all your $$.
Personally I wouldn't want to feed a-z when it's not necessary, but that's just my €0,02

Ok, I have this solid conviction that 'Amazon' can make and break transport companies - and can do what they want with the transport fees.
Netgate hasn't reached that position (yet ).edit : But doesn't everybody know this already ? ;)

It's this laziness a-z makes the most money with. Would I want to support that?

We like to give our customer's choice.
After the order is complete, we are the one's that fulfill the shipment, either with A-Z or from our store.
