Ruined Nexus 5X advice

The wife dropped hers in water and then the mother in law attempted to take the battery out. 
What are the issues with just buying a new one on Amazon vs going through Google for the replacement?

Carrier is TMO. Do you trust Amazon? I called Google and asked them specifically about the vendor on Amazon that I was looking at and they said it was "approved"...which presumably means that phone will still get the OS updates pushed to it on the regular Nexus schedule?

It might be cheaper to get a new wife.

Do you have Nexus Protect? If so, that would be a much cheaper option ($79) than buying a new phone.

I trust them more than I trust my own mother.

Google said that they did not have any in their warehouse, which meant they would have to interface directly with LG...and they mentioned that there was no guarantee that LG had any inventory (and also it would take at least 2 weeks.) This is the 3rd phone I've purchased from the Play Store, and I do think it's a significant weakness of Google. Their support for these devices is awful (I've yet to speak to a representative who knew the answer to even the most basic question). It's almost as if the phone doesn't even exist anymore from their perspective. And it took me over 30 minutes on the phone with them to find all this crap out. I just bought one on Amazon.
