Expedited 2-3 Day Shipping from Apple Online Store Worth it?

I hope so too! Apple just sent me and email and I got very excited, until I read the details it was only the gift card LOL




It's amazing that you've been using the 2006 MBP for 6 years now!

I had a PISMO PowerBook before that. Used it for 5 yrs. My 2006 MBP will still be used. I'm going to install only what is needed and it should last for another year or two.
I was wanting to get an iMac for the kids so they don't bang on the laptop keyboard and the smears all over the computer. I probably would have bought an iMac during the tax free weekend but I wanted the updated iMac...

It's not amazing, we know how long Apple products can last!

It'a amazing to someone who is going through the transition of windows to mac's

How old are your kids? iMac sounds reasonable, easier to replace a keyboard than the whole MacBook if anything.

Wait for the updated iMac! I wanted a MacBook since last school year, but Apple didn't unveil anything redesigned, and thankfully now I'm getting the Retina

2, 4, and 6. I don't really care about the old MBP. The rMBP is mine and they are not allowed to lay a finger on it. May get the iMac for Xmas or next year.

So I finally ordered a 2.6 16GB 256 GB via the apple website with regular shipping.

I tried to call Apple to expedite the shipping method to 2-3 for free and was denied

I may have to call tomorrow again to try lol.

What are the approaches you guys did to have this approved, for free?

So I called again to try, the shipping upgrade was approved without any further questions. The representative mentioned that this would only be a one time deal though. Funny thing is what we have to go through just to save $15 on a $2500 computer

Hey all the little things add up. A case, shipping, bag, accessories, stand.

What a waste of Apple's money if they actually expedite the shipping.

They should ship using USPS so the government can get more money back though

Great idea...since USPS doesn’t operate in China. And it isn’t a waste of money when you consider the returns provided by loyalty and word of mouth praise.

I am pretty sure this was resolved over 6 years ago!
