I'm looking at an ad for MacConnection.

It states: "Defective software replaced immediately.  Defective hardware
replaced or repaired at our discretion.  Some items have warranties up to
five years." My experience is that MacConnection always delivers what it 
promises.  If you are looking at a different outfit, try asking them before
you buy.

Generally, all mail order houses deliver product complete with the
manufacturer's warranty, registration card, etc.

I buy *all* my software mail order.  But I'm a little reluctant to buy
hardware that way, due to the logistics of servicing (should it be required).
But then again, I bought my memory upgrade mail order and haven't regretted
it.
