Hi! I find a bit of irony in this post, at least in my case. Apple actually charges more than another Apple authorized retailer for a sim-free iPhone 4S, by just about $250.
While I'm still waiting for it to ship, and while they're cutting their shipping date a bit too close to their estimate they gave me, I know they're legit. I just tend to worry when they said one to two weeks from Friday October 28, and I'm on my second week with only a few days to spare. I think my worry stems from the fact that my shipping estimates have always been generous, but this one is not. Even so, your warning is very true. I've seen a lot of stores that charge a lot more than they should, even for those on contract.
