Thanks for the advice! Appreciate the empathy as well.
This isn't germane. Apples to oranges. A $2,000 computer is not a $30 meal.
But no, I hold DoorDash accountable because they took my money and I ordered through their app. I didn't order this MBP from FedEx. Apple already charged me for this item and is delivering it a full month late.
Thank you! Sadly, none of this happened. Apple did nothing in this case...
–I had to contact FedEx to learn the order was missing
–I had to then contact Apple to let them know
–I had to ask Apple to process a replacement on my behalf
–Apple basically placed a new order for me after I had already paid for an item (charged at the time of shipment) that will now not arrive for another month.
Apple is very literally not doing anything in this case beyond fulfilling their original obligation 3 weeks late, charging me a month in advance and allowing my trade-in value to expire.
This would make sense if it were shipping today, but it's not. So they are not fulfilling the order I placed, but instead placing a new one. I already waited a month and paid them for this computer.
Again, this is not germane. 1 day early =/= 3 weeks late. This is the difference between going above and beyond on a promise, and breaking one. Do you see how these two things are not the same?
This is, again, categorically false. Apple charged me and is not honoring my place in line. If Apple shipped me the computer of the person behind me, then they would not have to wait 3 weeks. They would get their computer next, so on and so forth, in sequential order. The only thing I am entitled to, is to receive the computer that I have already paid for. Folks whose machines have not yet shipped, have not paid for them.
People are not understanding that the only people who have to wait this long for the MBP I ordered, are those who order it today, 11/18. I placed my order 1 month ago, on 10/19. It is not the same.
