We have 3 options when purchasing Prusa Products:
1) Local pickup - If you are able to pick up from our location in Portland, Oregon
2) Direct Ship - This is the preferred option for customers that can't pick up locally. This is for us to have Prusa ship directly to you, so we're not paying for shipping twice. Lead time is typically 4 weeks(though has been as soon as 2 weeks).
3) Fast Ship - This is for us to ship from our inventory, Lead time is typically 1 week, if we have the items in stock (but you're paying for shipping twice).
Educational Institution or Non-Profit that can't order direct from Prusa? Inquire for special pricing.
With shipping costs, long leadtimes, and very small profit margin, we are having most of our Prusa printers sold before they arrive, and though we may not have printers on the shelves, we place

Original Prusa Printers: We have been offering Prusa Printers since 2018 in an effort to become a Reseller and get better pricing (prusa currently does not have resellers, or reseller pricing). We are occasionally able to get a 5% discount by ordering printers in bulk, but we are often paying the same price as consumers. As such, we have these priced at our actual cost, plus a "convenience fee" for not having to wait in line at Prusa, wait for shipping, and deal with customs.
Our costs include shipping to our facility in the US ($50-110 each), US Customs (5+%), and Payment Processing Fees (~3%).
Locally Assembled Prusa Printers: Built and tested by a local school here in Oregon (part of the purchase is tax deductible), still backed by Prusa support with added bonus of possible local repair (depending on the issue and the bandwidth of the school). The sale of these printers helps the school purchase more kits for the next class to build and test.
All printers come with the standard spring steel smooth bed. We do carry textured beds for each printer in stock, and can order other beds depending on availability. Please let us know if you would like additional beds, or you can order them through this link: https://www.a3dstore.com/product-page/genuine-prusa-parts
