I have been dealing in network projects for the past 5 years and bought many Cisco products from different sources, according to my experience, you can check with below sources:
First option (recommended)
Buy from Cisco authorized distributor, you may check on Cisco website:

Disadvantage: generally price is a bit high, sometimes delivery time long
Second option
You can also buy from some network products wholesalers (grey market) list below, please note we are not talking about amazon, bestbuy etc as they are not professional in network area:
