Safe to buy from MacMall?

[kwong2006]

I found a good deal on a LaCie drive from MacMall (Adorama on Amazon have a similar deal), and I was wondering if it is safe to buy from MacMall or from Adorama on Amazon.

Thanks for all the help!

MacMall is a very well known site among the Mac community. I haven't personally bought anything there, but I've heard it being recommended lots of times by other forum users.

Only if you are not planning on returning the item. External hard disk might be one of the few exceptions, but MacMall charges 15% restocking fee on most purchases.

MacMall gets mixed reviews from people. Their return policy, especially on new Macs, doesn't allow you to return it to them(I don't know about external HD's). That is one reason I didn't use them when I have purchased Macs in the past(I will pay the tax and get it directly from Apple). I have ordered small things from them and had no problem. I'm just leary of them on big ticket items. BTW Amazon's return policy is really good.

They've ticked me off a few times to the point that I won't buy from them anymore. They do have good deals though. My issues dealt with having things backordered and them not coming through with delivery dates.

I bought Camera accesories from Adorama multiple times, and the one time I had an issue they paid for return shipping
