A couple of questions about Profeel, for people that have dealt with them before.
(1) How is their packaging? Are cameras wrapped/protected or is it a box-in-a-box sorta thing?
(2) Are the cameras they sell guaranteed to be new, never opened?
(3) Has anyone had to return something (for defect reasons)? How were they to deal with?
Their reseller rating is perfect, but I'm just wondering why they are the only seller to vary from the $6799 price you find at BH, Onecall, Amazon, etc.
^Yeah I'd be curious too. I see they're a Canon Authorized Dealer, but still. I'll be buying one in a couple weeks, and a brand new one for $6319 sounds pretty sweet if they still have any for that price

I mentioned it earlier that Profeel is great and a trusted business to deal with but here are the answers to your specific questions:
1. Perfect packing! The original box was well padded and packed inside another box every time.
2. I never bought any cameras from them. However, I bought several lenses and a 580EX II. There was never any evidence that any of the boxes were opened or the contents ever used.
3. I never had a reason to return anything back to them which is a better thing than having someone sending me something faulty that I had to return.
As to your question about why they sell 1DX at a price less than others, we have seen others from time-to-time selling things at a price substantially lower than the market price. There are many factor that can explain that. Adorama's recent eBay sale of 5DIII at $2750 is a perfect example of that.
