Should I buy a Raspberry Pi 3 CanaKit from Amazon?

Question

Online shopping

I want to buy myself a ready-made kit consisting of a Raspberry Pi3 and the most necessary components for it. I settled on a good kit, called "Raspberry Pi 3 CanaKit" (link to the product in the Amazon store: https://www.amazon.com/CanaKit-Raspberry-Complete-... The price of this kit is $ 75. And then the question arose : I have never bought goods in the Amazon online store (there is only experience with OZON.ru, but this is a highly specialized, and besides, a Russian store). What can I risk buying this product? Reviews about the CanaKit office itself seem to be good "But the Amazon store itself is in English, and I'm new here. How not to get into a mess when buying in this store? Are there any pitfalls in the form of protracted delivery times or non-warranty cases if a low-quality product suddenly arrives? Thanks in advance.
PS: I also went to the Russian site (it seems to be also good) - smartelectronika.com/viewproduct/102/. Maybe it's better not to bother and buy on it, and then buy a network adapter and an HDMI to DVI adapter yourself?
Here is another selection of products from CanaKit: https://www.amazon.com/s?marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0D...

Answer 1

It is quite possible to buy - the choice of a specific set depends on the tasks. You can also order from aliexpress - it will come within a month or two. There are also many sets and, if desired, you can collect your own in one store and receive it in one package. The point of ordering from Amazon / Ali is a lower price than in Russian stores. Often twice as low. True, now small shops have begun to appear, which themselves order from the same ali and sell at an already adequate price. The risks of buying via the Internet are as follows:
1) There is no way to check the goods before buying;
2) There is a chance of damage or loss of goods upon delivery by Russian post: it is better to order expensive items through normal delivery services or immediately buy through services like a whisper(verified service, they deliver very quickly (a week or two), they take pictures / check before sending, accurate tracking, adequate technical support);
3) Difficulties with returns in the event of a warranty marriage / defect.
In general, online shopping abroad is a very convenient and cool thing.
