Where to buy a GoPro Hero 9 (that isn't the GoPro site)
Discussion
I'd like to buy a GoPro Hero 9. Buying from their own site seems to offer the best bundle deals. However, if you look at their reviews on Trustpilot, the customer feedback is absolutely diabolical!
Does anybody have any recommendations on where I could get a good bundle deal that doesn't involve buying from the GoPro site? Maybe there are some small, independent camera shops that could offer something competitive? A Google shopping search doesn't yield much that's of use.

Delivery issues are mainly due to Brexit holding things up at ports I'm afraid. GoPro stock comes from a warehouse in mainland Europe.
I'd still order direct from them though. The last two GoPros I bought through Amazon (fulfilled by Amazon) I ended up getting a pack of batteries and a book in one shipment and a cheap Chinese action camera in the other. Seemed quite dodgy and at least GoPro fulfillments come through in the end.

CVP have some in stock: https://cvp.com/product/gopro-chdhx-901-rw-hero-9-...
John Lewis also sell GoPro stuff if there's one near you (still).

CVP isn't particularly competitive with GoPro's bundle option, that's the main downside. John Lewis don't seem to stock GoPro any more. John Lewis also sell GoPro stuff if there's one near you (still).
Maybe I'll just take a punt on buying from GoPro but when you see so many bad reviews it's a bit unnerving!

Just a quick update on this.
I decided to just take a punt and buy the camera from the GoPro website because there weren't any other comparable deals elsewhere. I ordered it late on Sunday evening and it arrived about an hour ago (three working days in total) so it turned out well.
Maybe I was lucky or something but I almost didn't bother after reading so many negative reviews about their delivery service!

For various reasons online reviews are just not to be trusted at all.
I also bought one from them recently and it got stuck in customs for a while, I messaged them and they rang me back straight away and sorted it out.
It also arrived without a memory card, ditto on their action there too.
Given the first problem wasn't their fault and the second was dealt with efficiently I would use them again.

I bought three Hero 9s last December from the GoPro on-line shop, plus spare batteries, max lens mod, media mod, loads of other little bits and pieces, over I think three separate orders and all arrived on-time, well packed and no issues at all. They also responded quickly to a couple of questions.
