Sorry I got in late on this thread, but ... I recently bought from MacMall and will never again do so. The order came more than 24 hours late, so I called to have the shipping charge credited to my credit card account. After waiting on hold for ten minutes or so, I finally got somebody to say they were crediting my account. Several weeks later I get the credit card bill, but no credit for the shipping. I try calling Mac Mall - hold again for over an hour. Call back, but choose a different menu option. Man says it was probably credited after my statement was sent out (it's been a month now). I call my CC company - nothing was credited. I call Mac Mall - hold for 15+ minutes. Hang up and call back choosing a different menu option. They can't help - I have to talk to customer service. Transfer the call and on hold for 30+ minutes again. I give up and send a nasty letter. I have ordered Mac stuff through the mail for over five years, mostly from MacWarehouse, sometimes MacZone and MacConnection. I have never had a problem with their service, and I have _certainly_ never been on hold for more than a minute or two, if that. I will never order from MacMall again - not because a mistake was made in delivering my package late or even for screwing up my credit card account - but because their customer service is nonexistent.
