Too good to be true mac deal?

£100 cheaper than the rest. Company registered abroad. They open the boxes to check the goods? Sounds fishy to me. I may go with John Lewis.

Do not touch with a bargepole. If they're legit- which seems unlikely- you'd get hit with VAT and customs charges on import, so it would cost you more.

I can't be the only one that thought this was going to be a 3for1 burger promotion?

If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Never a truer phrase when applied to anything on the internet.

Don‘t touch It. They take the order and tell you they are short of stock. When you ask for refund, they will take ages. They use the float for interest. Red flag if they accept Paypal only and not Visa/MC/Amex. The other cards require merchants to debit account only when the goods are available and ready to ship the same day.

Not found in Trust Pilot.

You‘ll get a 2 year warranty from John Lewis

I was going to make a crack about them supplying good food, for a change!

Does it come with fries?

 

[Milzy]

Yeah dodgy as nobody would price match. Places like that are based in Hong Kong.
John Lewis it is, always liked him.

Lots of these types of "too good to be true" priced sites for tech stuff. Caveat emptor and all that!

Have you considered the Apple Refurb Store? It’s £849 there in gold, silver or space grey.

Don’t fancy a refurbished really for not much less. I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

Was going to say this, got my iPad from them no bother, and I defy anyone to tell it’s a refurb other than the serial number, £150 off with free delivery, Apple put them in a complete new case as well, there’s a refurb, and Apple refurb, there’s nothing to lose

Apple refurbs have the same warranty as 'new new', AppleCare is still an option. Only difference is the price.

It’s not £150 off though in reality other stores sell them cheaper so it’s only £40 or a month of cafe stops.
