I've ordered several items from MacMall and have had complete satisfaction. My guess is that it is a poorly managed company and the customer's experience is mostly based on which employee they deal with. MacConnection is certainly the best. I believe they are the *only* major mail-order store that doesn't use commissions. Hence, sale personnel have no reason to lie, no reason to push an inferior product, and no reason to hurry you. MacConnection isn't perfect which is why I sometimes use MacWarehouse and MacMall. MacConnection has four drawbacks: (1) They charge $2 more for shipping (which I'll glady pay for superior service). (2) They sell few games. (3) Unlike Macmall, they don't deliver on Saturday. (4) Most significant drawback is they're often out of stock on items I can easily find elsewhere. -- Gary E.
