I've only placed one order with MacWarehouse so I don't know if my
experience is typical or not.  I ordered a dust cover for my SE/30 with
extended keyboard.  They sent me one to fit a standard keyboard.  I called
back and told them of their mistake.  They told me to keep the wrong dust
cover and they immediately sent the correct one which I received the next
day.  I was pleased because and I gave the cover for the standard keyboard
to my mother who has a Mac Plus.  Not bad.
