Assembled Printer Discount

On the Prusa main page, it says buyers of assembled printers get a 10% discount on subsequent printer orders and selected filaments.  For kits it lists 5% on selected filaments.  Can someone who purchased an assembled printer check if they get 10% discount on the prusament filaments?  I bought the kit and receive a 5% discount on them, but tech support told me the assembled printer discount is not for filaments, just printers.

Is that enough to make up for international shipping?  The Prusa website has the Galaxy Black at $25 with Amazon at $30 with free shipping.

Regardless, the Galaxy Black is now listed as Amazon Choice for Prusament but not overall and doesn't show on the first page of search results.

If you order qty 2 the 5% discount is the same price as Amazon, 10% should be a dollar or two cheaper.  The shipping doesn’t change from 1 to 2 spools.  When you add a third spoil shipping goes up to $33!!!  And if you add a fourth, $36.  The sweet spot is definitely ordering 2 spools or separate orders of 2 spools for higher quantity.

I ordered the kit but for some reason I can't log into the Eshop, only blog and forums.  I'm almost out of the original PLA and hope the sale lasts a little longer.  Having two Galaxy Black at that price would be good.

Those discounts are permanent as far as I can tell.

Hopefully.  My thought was that since they're back on Amazon they're looking to get rid of whatever's left locally and it would end after that.  Right now it's 20 cents cheaper to order two spools from Europe than it is to buy from Amazon.  That 10% would have been nice but there's no substitute for self-assembly.
