The mail order company I use is Computability, based in Wisconson.
I recently purchased a Trumpcard 500 w/40 meg Quantum drive and an
external powersupply for $654.  Ordered it at 6:00pm on a Monday, (credit card
call) and received it by UPS on Wednesday.  They have an 800 number for orders
and another for info.  The Trumpcard 500 has an internal slot for their own
memory expansion card, up to 4 meg.  They run regular adds in most of the
Amiga magazines and list phone numbers there.

(disclaimer - I don't work for or have any relatives who work for this   
company, I only order from them)
