I have noticed quality and cost vary considerably. The Home depot kind are either low quality or overpriced, nothing in between.
I have bought one nice 8x10 shed from a local shed-builder. It had been sitting there for a while unsold and it was just what I needed, and I was able to negotiate the price down somewhat. I have also bought two buildings one 8x12, the other 12x20 from the local tech/trade school which builds them in class to teach carpentry trade skills. I also bought them at a slight discount after they'd sit outside all summer. I think this is the time to buy. These were a little more expensive than the commercial shop, but greatly overengineered too, as they were teaching home building skills, not shed building skills. These are typically delivered to the site with a flatbed towtruck for $100-200. I rolled the 8x10 building on logs to get it from where the flatbed dropped it off to where it was needed.
I also bought from the side of the road a 5x5 wooden building that had served as a bus stop for some kids. The owner delivered it with his dump truck to my office, and we put it on a mower trailer to deliver it to the final site after prepping it for our business needs.
