I've never ordered from them, but everything I've heard about "Icon Review"
has been negative.  I'd avoid them.

I've ordered from, and have been happy with, MacConnection, MacZone, and
MacWarehouse.   Of the three, I like MacConnection the best, but they don't
always have the item I'm looking for.

I've also had very good experience ordering bulk Sony floppies from
Diskette Connection.  They have the best prices I've seen, and were
quite prompt in processing my orders.
