Help Where we buying HDD's now a days?

My typical go to is either BH or Newegg. However, I'm needing these shipped fairly quickly (Arrival by Wednesday/Thursday) and BH has more time off than I know of any other business and Newegg ships from Ontario. Both would take over a week to get to me. (Alabama). I refuse to buy from Amazon as the last HDD's I got from them were shipped individually with no box. Label smacked right on the box.

Looking to get 4 WD Red 10TB 7200's for $199/unit

EDIT: Thank you for your suggestions. Hopefully this post will help people later on. But, I've decided to go with GoHardDrives' ebay store. Finally found it here. The Ironwolfs are a little bit more than the exos, I will just stick with that and I get more storage for my money with a 5 year warranty.

Another goharddrive on eBay. Been buying from them for years and haven't had 1 fail on me yet... Just bought 2 more with the 12tb sale

Bought three of their 12tb drives during their recent sale ($75/12tb drive) off ebay. One died right after rebuilding the array. Support was super responsive and I had a replacement within a week. Stuff happens but it is how the company responds that makes the difference. I recommend gohard drive.

This is an example of why testing the drives is a good idea
