My tip for you is to buy from Ledger itself, cut the middleman. This would allow you to have an increased amount of trust, since Ledger itself even says that they recommend not buying from third party sellers. -snip-

Is there an official statement link from the Ledger that says so?

The Ledger co-founder has posted on reddit many times that it is not recommended to buy Ledger products from third-party merchants that are not part of the official reseller network. They are not saying you shouldn't purchase from any third-parties, just not from unofficial resellers. Especially if the deal sounds to good to be true and costs less than on the official shop.

Here is one reddit post where the co-founder recommends physically checking the hardware of Ledger wallets purchased from unofficial vendors:

I wouldn't buy from a third party if the price is too low - just to avoid being scammed and not receive anything at all. If you're buying from a third party that's not officially listed as a reseller you should check the device integrity following https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005321449-Check-hardware-integrity both physically and from software after updating to the latest firmware
