======Before you buy ======
So you're interested in buying a 3D printer? I'm sure you're excited, but perhaps a little overwhelmed with the range of printers. Whatever printer you decide is right from you, it is also important to consider where you buy your printer from.

==== What store should I buy from? ====
There are many sellers of the JGAurora printers online. Everybody wants to pay the lowest price, but not all sellers are equal! For example, the JGAurora A5 printer is a large printer, but the packaging is not very thick, so a large number of customers have received printers with some kind of shipping damage. 

=== Buying from Amazon ===
**The best option is to purchase your printer from [[https://www.amazon.com/stores/node/13191759011?_encoding=UTF8&field-lbr_brands_browse-bin=JGAURORA&ref_=bl_dp_s_web_13191759011&_encoding=UTF8&tag=samuelpinches-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=94301e5e9be3e3e69eea7801ec3d7bf6&camp=1789&creative=9325|Amazon]]** - Amazon will take //excellent// care of you if something goes wrong, and they are more careful with their parcels. The price is slightly higher, but you need to decide how much peace-of-mind is worth to you.

=== Buying from China ===
Buying from Chinese reseller stores like [[https://www.gearbest.com/3d-printers-3d-printer-kits/pp_1054909.html?lkid=13835743|Gearbest]] and [[https://www.banggood.com/JGAURORA-A5-DIY-3D-Printer-Kit-305305320mm-Printing-Size-Support-Resume-Print-p-1221158.html?p=!P11034818912014032C|Banggood]] are likely going to be the cheapest options for you. There is also the option to buy your printer direct from JGAurora via [[http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/NzZzZVv| Aliexpress]]. However, if you are buying your printer from China you should **EXPECT** there to be something wrong with your printer when it arrives. If nothing is broken, great :-) !! But if there is, do not be surprised - workers in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ztBF9NuaSY?t=10s|china are not careful with parcels at all!]]

**If you still choose to order your printer from china, please take some of the following precautions**:
  - **Choose to pay with Paypal!**: Paypal is independant: if the item is broken, and if the reseller is not able to provide you with a satisfactory solution, you can still file a claim with paypal, and paypal can force the seller to provide you a refund.
  - **Choose to pay for shipping insurance!**: this varies depending on reseller, but it is a very good idea to choose this option if it is available to you. If that option is not available, try to choose a quality courier company like DHL.
