Buying online from Apple - return policy

[S1njin]

Hey Gang,

If I pre-order a iPhone from Apple online and have the iPhone delivered to my house, what happens if I need to exchange or return? Can I go straight to the Apple Store or am I locked into Fed Ex'ing everything back b/c it was a online purchase?

I'm going through this now w/ my Verizon Droid - I bought it online, found the experience unsatisfactory, and am not stuck sending it back via FedEx and handling everything over the phone. I could not bring it to a physical store.

Just wondering how Apple handles it.

Thanks,
S1njin
