I usually buy Synology / Qnap from Broad Band Buyer or Ebuyer. I don't really like Amazon.
Is there any large retailer that stocks Asustor? It has a few features I would like to try in particular a nextcloud app and the option to install 3rd party NAS like Unraid and TrueNAS
I'm based in UK, England. I should have said.

If you're based in the USA and looking for Asustor NAS but want to avoid Amazon, here are some solid alternatives:
B&H Photo Video – Great reputation, stocks a decent range of Asustor NAS units. Fast shipping, too.
Newegg – Carries quite a few models, often with reviews and regular discounts.
Micro Center – Worth checking if you’ve got one nearby. Stock varies by location, but online orders available too.
Provantage – Business-oriented but open to public. Good prices, sometimes hidden gems.
TigerDirect – Occasionally stocks Asustor, but hit or miss.
If you're planning on running Nextcloud, Unraid, or TrueNAS, look for:
Models with Intel CPUs (like the AS6704T or Lockerstor series).
At least 4GB+ RAM (ideally upgradeable to 8GB/16GB).
Virtualization support in ADM.
