I've ordered from MacWarehouse a lot.  No problems with them saying they 
had something which they did not in fact have (and there certainly have 
been times when they told me that what I wanted was *not* in stock at the 
moment).  They did goof up one order once, but were very quick to remidy 
that mixup.  So, my experience is one minor mixup in 20-40 orders.  I'm 
very happy with both them and MacConnection.
