    Like the title states, I am wondering if anyone has shopped at ecom Electronics before. Their prices were the lowest I can find for the Macbook Pros, however just not sure because I never heard of them before. If you did shop before, can you share your good/bad experience? Thanks!

    Seems OK, has physical address and is BBB accredited. You should be safe buying with a credit card.

    I would buy from Amazon rather than the store the OP listed, simply because I trust Amazon a whole lot more and they are reliable.

    I agree with you. I order almost everything from them..That is where I'm ordering my MBP from. Amazon is a good place to order things from. I never had any problems with them..

    To the OP, go to resellerratings.com and see what people say about the site there.

    I ordered my 2.53ghz MBP for $2,219.00 from them. After placing the order, they called me up and tried to get me to buy accessories and a warranty(non Applecare). When I told the salesman that I was going to buy the Applecare warranty later, he told me the Apple warranty wasn't international (which it is). It took a while, but I finally got the salesman to stop pushing additional products on me and my order went through.

    I received my Macbook Pro about 2 weeks later. The computer arrived double boxed, and was in perfect condition. Overall, my experience with them was good. If you're willing to put up with some shenanigans from a salesman or two, ecom is ok.
