Don't buy off Gearbest, ever. Try AliExpress or if you're really worried go for Amazon
As far as Amazon goes, I recommend this one from HICTOP https://www.amazon.com/HICTOP-Creality-Printer-Aluminum-300x300x400mm/dp/B06XSF5MGT/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1505501413&sr=8-3&keywords=creality+cr-10
Or if you want slightly slower shipping and 100% guaranteed from Creality, heres this one: https://www.amazon.com/Creality-CR-10-3D-Aluminum-High-precisio/dp/B0716C9RZG/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1505501413&sr=8-4&keywords=creality+cr-10

This Amazon listing is the Prusa printer I bought. Like I said, everything prints great, but I have to recalibrate every print.
sorry i commented the wrong price, it was on sale a few days ago but rose to 500. but if your still interested here is the link
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06XSF5MGT/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517870807&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=cr10&dpPl=1&dpID=51IBoIX-tHL&ref=plSrch
Unfortunately it's 500 now, not sure why.
Did you read this FAQ?
Yes
Only question I have is, I'm pretty sold on a CR-10 printer but is there any real difference by buying a different brand? Such as a HICTOP brand via a Creality when they look EXACTLY the same down to the color? Maybe aside from customer service are the machines exactly the same?

Did you get the HICTOP version? I've been considering it since it is prime, and I have almost $400 in credit.
Got a CR-10 for 367. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XSF5MGT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_5PUfAbE0KNYEH
I already have a CR-10 and I couldn't pass it up at this price. I installed a PEI sheet and did the bed leveling mod. This is by far my best 3D printer. (I won't name names, but some cost 8x the CR-10) Print quality is just amazing and it's been very reliable so far.
I would consider some type of bed mod a must. Hairspray on glass is just so getto. I consistently print 12" x 12" plates on my CR-10 and never had a corner lift. (Using PEI). You don't have to worry about oversizing your first layer or any of that BS.
My personal recommendation (hictop prusa) is about $270. For $330 you'll have plenty of choices on Amazon. In hindsight I wish my printer had a metal frame but after some tuning it's a good work horse with a large print area. Good for the price just don't expect 1 micron resolution.
EDIT: just found two that I really want. Both with metal frames, one for sure has auto leveling (very very very good to have) and it's $520
