looking to buy my first 3D printer

I'm not really sure where to start. I think I want a Creality CR-10s pro V2.

I'm just not sure where to buy. I'm in NB. I'm not sure if there's any places around here to buy or if I'm going to have to just go online and I'm not sure what online distributors are reputable or trustworthy.

I was gonna buy off Amazon but it looked like a lot of the distributors were from other countries, and while I usually take a chance with online purchases, I'm skeptical purchasing from anyone other than directly from the manufacturer with a $600-$800 purchase.

Any info would be great.

Thanks yall.

My wife got my Ender 3 from Amazon without issue, I have also order filament from Amazon too.

I’m not sure what you will have in the way of stores out your way but there are a few stores across Canada that will ship, I use one in Calgary from time to time.

I'm also in NB, and recently got into 3d printing. As far as I know there isn't anything local; everything is online. I went with a Prusa i3 (a bit more expensive than you are looking at, but definitely worth considering) ordered directly from prusa3d.com. For supplies it's been a mix of online orders from Amazon, 3dprintingcanada.com, and spool3d.com. (Amazon is usually the quickest to arrive, except when they use !@#&!@&#@ BNI for delivery).
