Default Hesitant to buy...compupad.com

Hello, I've been stalking the forums for quite a bit. This is my first post. I'll get to the point. I'm a student and plan on studying abroad in korea in the fall, and my 500$ acer aspire isn't cutting it. I found this Acer Aspire 5112wlmi on http://www.compupad.com and the deal is AMAzing, but maybe too amazing? I emailed them and they said everythign was brand new not refurbed. Does anyone have any experience with this website?

I see no info on them at www.resellerratings.com and even using Google shows up nothing. According to WhoIs information you get this for the domain

Since it was created only in January it's a startup and you'll be sort of blind to reliability. I'd proceed with caution.

I ordered a 42'' tv at Compupad.com on February and got it like a week later... I paid for ground shipping, but since they took 3 days to ship it, they gave me free Next Day Air with UPS. Wonderful store, greeeeeeeeeat prices!
I really recomend them.

If you do decide to purchase from them, just make sure you pay with a credit card that way you will have the option of filing a charge back if they don't deliver.
