We have no way of knowing if
jet.com is an authorized retailer, nor how they acquired the products.
There is absolutely no reason to boycott Newegg. I've been a Newegg customer since they started in business years ago, and I have never, ever had a customer service problem with them that couldn't be easily resolved, despite hundreds of orders. They are an official retailer of Obihai products. There are many other people here on this forum who have also successfully purchased OBi devices from Newegg.
