The main reason I used Amazon for the bulk of my equipment is that I had gift cards to use. Also it seems like Morebeer has similar prices but with me having prime and getting free shipping on most stuff I'd be paying almost twice as much for it. Starting the siphon is actually way easier than I remember so I think I might be ok if it doesn't show up.I'm not sure where you're located, but if you're in the US there is zero reason to order homebrew supplies from Amazon. State side places like morebeer, northernbrewer, etc. are fast and relatively cheap for shipping.
