Has anybody bought anything from MAC Whiz?
Can these prices be true?

Just the fact that they spell Mac as MAC makes me nervous...

Check out this thread at MacRumors. To answer your question, I think they are too good to be true.

I did a dummy order, and their payment page contains this text:

Payment Information:

Bank Wire Transfer Please print invoice and e-mail us your "order number" (top right corner) and we will send you the information required by your bank to complete the transfer. (U.S. & Canada) we can usually ship the same day if funds are confirmed before 4:00 p.m PST. International customers please allow anywhere from 5-10 business days. Delay in shipping your order may occur if the wire-transfer received is different from the order total amount. We now offer 1% discount for orders paid with wire-transfers.

Cashier's Check/Money Order Please make your cashier's check or money order payable to Derald Dutchak Co., enclose check with invoice and mail to address below. We'll ship your products within 1-2 business days after the check is received. Your order will be canceled if we do not receive your payment in 10 business days. Orders via Prepay w/ cashier's check are not confirmed until payment is received. Company checks are accepted, but items will not be shipped until checks are cleared by the bank. We do not accept personal checks.

Thank you,

If they can't even set up basic online ordering (an SSL certificate isn't *that* expensive), then I say steer clear.

Wow. That's not something that would instill confidence in me either, sending money not to the business' name, but to an individuals corporate "entity"

I haven't checked now, but yesterday Macnn homepage had a link to them on the right hand column. Would their ad be accepted without macnn checking them out first??? Dunno....
