I haven't bought a radio or piece of equipment in a while, there is a number of reputable vendors, they may not all give 30-day guarantee but I remember purchasing from Bearcat Warehouse and they did offer a 30-day guarantee. I think all the major vendors like Scanner Master is a good one, people have had good experiences with Maine Trading Company in Texas. I personally would avoid zip scanners but that ..just my own personal opinion from experiences I've had and I've seen others have and I'm not sure what their return policy is but I think that was one of the problems I have with it.
It just takes research on Google to see who has it in stock, anybody that might have a discount on the price and still offer that 30-day window of satisfaction.
If the radio is not what you thought it was and it didn't meet your expectation you don't want to deal with anybody that's still going to want to restocking fee, you want a guarantee.
I personally like GigaParts, don't know what their status is with the SDS radios or return policy but I have purchased ham equipment from them with good experiences. HRO also is a consideration but not up to date on their policies
Some Google searches and phone calls should clear things up.. there are others who know more about Amazon vendors and return policies etc etc I don't buy much there either.
Social Security and a few modest pensions, my expensive equipment purchasing days are pretty much behind me.
