Best prices I've seen in a long time on a lot of products, including Garmin Edge computers, at LordGun. They're a reputable Italian bike store that ships to the US. Many European stores (Merlin, etc.) won't deliver Garmin, SRAM, and other products that manufacturers have on minimum advertised pricing to American addresses. LordGun will.

Cost of FedEx changes based on where you are in the U.S. For me, it's less expensive than tax would normally be.
You can look around for other things and find deals. I have a set of Zipp 404's with XDR driver body on the way for $1320 all in, which beats the best price after tax I've seen at any U.S. retailer since those launched by > $250. XDR sold out, but Shimano free hub still available (rear:

Some tubeless tires that've been hard to find, inc. Pirelli TLR 26's and Schwalbe Pro Addix 28's, are in stock at good prices. They're listing Conti 5000 S TR's at around $65, which may be worth adding a stock alert for in case they hold that price when they come back. Those have been nearly impossible to get ahold of, and they've been full sticker the few times they've popped off at U.S. sellers.

I wouldn't buy something that's prone to issues or may not wear correctly, like Rally pedals, this way. Others may know how serious Garmin is about enforcing the warranty terms, but some companies are hardcore and others will service things that are shipped directly and not grey marketed into the U.S. through a trans-shipper or listed on eBay, since that's a retailer fail and not a consumer fail.
The US maps have been challenging to load... the DC Rainmaker instructions point you to a site that's quoting 1+ year turnaround time for the map creation. Just haven't had enough time to mess with it, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.
Wanted to post as I was initially reluctant ordering from this site but it was fine.

1). Lordgun store is authorized dealer
2). These devices comes with Europe map natively
3). Firmware update or factory reset will not remove maps
4). You can buy NA maps for $20 + tax
5). Follow instructions [garmin.com]here to install
6). You have full year to download and install to your device
7). Warranty is same as US and Garmin will honor it
Hope this helps other riders!
