Look for local resellers or cryptocurrency meetups in your area. These individuals may sell hardware wallets directly or provide information on where to buy them locally. Make sure to verify the legitimacy of the seller before making a purchase.

Hardware wallets store your private keys offline, giving you full control and enhanced security. Even if you misplace or lose your hardware wallet, you can get a new one and use your Secret Recovery Phrase to access your assets.
