Interestingly, it's somewhat cheaper than buying via Amazon.

You will have to wait for shipping from China- I bought one as a gift for a friend and it took about two weeks from order to arrival.

It’s the shipping. Amazon is subsidizing the shipping in the price. There’s an advantage there that you can get it in a couple of days instead of weeks.
