Look at todays deal for example set of knives for $15 + $5 shipping advertising that Amazon has them for $25. Here is what you get for your extra $5 from Amazon. The real deal, not knockoffs. The ability to chat with customer service, return or replace an item at no cost, a guarantee for their product, ability to use for 30 days to see if the product meets the Description.
What do you get from daily deal. Knock offs. Customer service via email that takes days, even weeks if you even get a response. No phone, no chat, no consistent return or replace policy. Everything they sell is cheap Chinese non branded stuff or a blemished or faulty product. Like a manufacture error run they just get rid of. If it is close to the Amazon price like todays knives, it's a no brainer.
