Sakin kasi, mas okay na yung may additional basta mas ma-ensure ko yung authenticity nung product. Kapag kasi hindi tayo bumili sa official site, mas malaki yung chance natin na maka-encounter ng counterfeit, yung may mga pre-generated seed na so pag nagkataon, mas malaki mawawala sayo.
Exactly my thoughts. Makakatipid ka ng, $20-$40 siguro para sa shipping fees, in exchange for what? Potentially counterfeit products? Na ma-aalanganin ung hundreds and thousands of dollars worth of crypto mo? Nope. Though mababa lang ung chance na makakatanggap pa ng effectively-tampered device, it's still not worth risking in my opinion.
Personally I use the Ledger Nano S. Little to no problems since I bought it approx. 2 years ago. Just go with either Ledger[1] or Trezor[2] dahil sila ung talagang reputable na hardware wallet companies. Heard good things about both naman, so in the end, depende nalang sa personal preference. Desisyon ko lang dati na bilhin ung Ledger kasi mukhang flashdrive, whereas na-weirdohan ako sa itsura ng Trezor dati.
