Is anyone familiar with this company? They are selling Macs for so much cheaper. The websight looks legit but why are they so much cheaper? It even offers a 30 day return policy.
Any feedback?
Here's the link.

Actually those prices are in Euro's, I think?
Conversion via Oanda.com matches EDU price with Euro v. Canadian dollar with those prices.

It does? That site looks like it was done with a template you'd get free with your ISP. I don't know whether or not the company is legit, but their site is amateurish.
And why put the quote from the guy who thinks it's an acronym ("MAC") as the first customer testimonial? If you just have to use that one, bury it!
Here's proof you can even do a lot of cutting & pasting from Apple's website and still have a polished, professional-looking reseller website.

Going by the phone number I'd say they're operating out of the UK. But a company in the UK wouldn't be an LLC it'd be Ltd.
Now I've read further they also list a UK address, but a quick look through the business directory for that area doesn't show a Martins Company LLC. The only business listed with that postal code (RG12 8SN) is Fujitsu-Siemens.
You'd also expect a business to have an answering machine for weekends, but no there's a fax machine on both lines (Yes I did call them out of curiosity)...

Aren't these the chaps who'll only take payment by, uh, wire transfer?
Seems enough said on their legitimacy.
