I have similarly had bad luck with MacMall.
I ordered an Apple 1710AV display. After much delay caused by
Apple, it arrived damaged. I returned it to them. About ten
days later I asked them where my new monitor was. They hadn't
shipped it yet, but would do so. A week or so later, I called
again. I'll spare many of the details, but sumarize by letting
you know I spoke to them on at least ten occasions, was cut off
a few times, and told numerous times my replacement monitor would
be shipped the next day or next Monday or whatever. I finally
got it around 6 weeks after I should have.
I will not order from them again. I've been pretty happy with
MacWarehouse and MacZone. I am affiliated with none of these
companies.
