Can anyone chime in on their return policy if the purchased MBP is bought on Amazon but sold by and shipped by Adorama?

Adorama declined my purchase the other day for no reason even though everything on my end was legit and correct, Capital One couldn't understand why either but that's irrelevant now (Original post about this specific issue).

I've never bought a MBP or any other laptops from Amazon directly so I want to know what I'm getting myself into before making the commitment.

Thanks!

UPDATE

N/M, finally found their return policy information regarding 3rd parties and it looks like it'll fall under Adorama's return policy which is terrifying.....

Amazon's has a 30 day no question asked return policy on items sold from Amazon.com. However, for other sellers the seller's policy takes precedence. So if the seller has a no return after open, that is the policy.

Yeah it took awhile for me to finally find that fine print, thanks for the confirmation!
 
Also, MacBooks on Amazon (sold by Amazon) do not say FREE RETURNS like most of the other stuff sold on Amazon, so I would guess you might have to pay to return it if it wasn't defective or such. If you just change your mind (buyers remorse) you might have to pay to ship back.
 
Why not look at the Apple Refubished Store? I just checked and there are TONS of MBP 16 models at a discount. And they ship the same day and I can almost guarantee you won't be able to tell that it isn't brand new.

I've bought refurb MBP from Apple and they come looking like they just came from the Apple Store. BEST company to get a refurb from. Same 1 YR warranty and you can get AppleCare also.

I have returned computers, tablets, cameras, etc. including a MacBook to Amazon without trouble or extra charges

I did check but none of the MBP 16's had the 5600m GPU which is what I want. If they did I would have ordered through Apple in a heartbeat.
