We have a very good Apple Store nearby, where I usually place the order. If it is something they have in stock, I can just take it home with me. If they don't, it usually comes directly from Apple in a couple of days. I don't think you can save any money buying Apple products by mail. The slightly lower price is usually about equal to the shipping charge. Go Apple! earle *
