    At first I thought it was the Australian version of MacMall but I don't think that is the case. Your address links to a company that supposedly provides solutions to enterprises in Australia looking to buy Apple hardware and software. I could have verified the site if it was run by the same company behind MacMall.com but it doesn't appear to be.

    It is operated by Maccentric which is a Apple Retailer in Australia.

    You can pay with Paypal. They have pretty good protection for consumers incase you do have problems.

    Have you ever bought anything from that site ???? I find it a little bit "strange" cuz it has the same name as macmall in US but licensed under another company :|
