Thats a bummer, sad you can get a phone with a verizon contract through another company and get the phone cheaper then you can from the carrier.

Sad how?

The other company is giving you an ADDITIONAL discount on top of what Verizon offers in order to attract you to their store. They have less overhead due to no storefront and no in store employees which have to be paid. Lower price is a benefit from purchasing there. There are ALSO downsides to purchasing from them, such as not being able to return/exchange the phone to a Verizon store if there is a problem or you just don't like the phone. There are always trade-offs in any decision.

If price is the most important decision, then purchase from the other retailer.

you also want to read the terms VERY closely. some of these third party retailers have much stricter terms (higher ETF's), which is also how they can sell them cheaper.
