    Yes, they are fine, as you'd expect with a quality brand and store. Also there are many good Mac retailers such as https://www.jigsaw24.com, https://www.cancomuk.com and MacWarehouse so compare prices. I've used all these in the past with no issues.

    Yup, got a MacBook a couple of years ago from them. No problems at all.

    I've ordered a few times with no problems whatsoever.

    Just make sure you shop around as other retailers can sometimes be a bit cheaper.

    There's generally not much difference in price though.

    I have noticed that, there are stores £4.00 or so cheaper, but I'd probably want laser engraved text on it, so Apple is the place to go.

    It's just I have heard things on the BBC Watchdog etc before about these things not arriving, and just wanted to make sure.
