It'll be like Christmas! jk 😂 Says free delivery for me from Home Depot. https://www.homedepot.com/pep/Hak...04264964OP might want to update the listing to include this, but honestly there are several places selling these for the same price, so I'm not entirely sure you're going to see much difference in quality between sellers for this type of flush cutter, as it's intended to cut extremely soft, small gauge wire.

If you don't need a nicer brand they do sell a, I assume, lower quality version at The Dollar (.75) Tree. Great for 3D printing clean up, cutting zip ties, etc. AliExpress has them too.

These are my go to clippers for rubber coated wire and zip ties. I also use them for metal earth models I make on occasion. Very good quality imho.

"Usually ships within 2 months."

Most of the stuff from scamazon is taking multiple weeks to get anymore. About one in four orders arrives within a week. The longest was around four months.

It's like a mail-order catalog -- "you'll get it within 6-8 weeks". It's so bad that I need to keep a backup payment method on file just in case they charge a card that has expired.

And with Home Depot, you have practically zero risk of getting a counterfeit. And super easy returns, since you can return it to any Home Depot location. Amazon loves to force returns to their "UPS stores" which are far and few between, or their beloved "Kolds stores" (which are over an hour away for some people in an entirely different part of the state).

I ordered a Wüsthof Classic tomato knife back in May (MSRP ~$115), saw the delay but I didn't cancel because it was only $38 which, in retrospect, should've been a red flag since they sell a much lower-end knife for around $50. Naturally they couldn't fulfill my order, so they "substituted" my $115 knife with a knife from their Gourmet line with an MSRP of (drumroll) $50, which would likely constitute an "upgrade" from the perspective of an automated system.

I'm guessing they do this to avoid any negative action by Amazon, since they technically provided me a product that's "equivalent or better"—Amazon likely doesn't realize it's NOT equivalent, they're probably just tracking the vendor/price & ignoring promotions or discounts. Call me a cynic, but I'm simply not creative enough to believe it's a coincidence they drew people in with a $115 knife priced at $38, ran out of the $115 knife after a few orders (assuming they had any at all) and, rather than canceling all the orders they couldn't fulfill, continued to take orders. I guess somebody was just so committed to customer service they decided to make me wait 6 weeks until they could send me something for my trouble lol. And since I was never notified & only found out about the substitution by getting the wrong knife 5 weeks later, I had to dig through and find out what the hell was going on (my first thought was: "I wouldn't buy a partial-tang knife wtf").

I have to assume other sellers are pulling this bait & switch shit, they mostly seem to be relying on people either not wanting to return it after waiting 5+ weeks, or straight up forgetting what they ordered lol. If it hadn't been "fulfilled by Amazon" I would've just cancelled—it's getting bad out here!
