I wanted to post my experiences with Amazon over the past six weeks as I took the plunge and purchased a touch.
I had a refirb 4G iPod Photo that I purchased from the Apple Store Christmas 2006. When Apple announced the touch, I promptly sold it on Craigslist for what I bought it for minus some extra accessories I threw in. I was ready to buy a touch right away and then heard about the N810 and decided to wait a bit. I ended up waiting until Macworld to purchase and then I got a 16GB for $359. I chose Amazon for the price as well as the fact I had ~$100 in gift cards
Apple would not give me the apps and then they announced the 32GB which is what I really wanted in the first place. I returned the 16GB under Amazon's 30-day policy. There were some timing issues with the return, refund, and shipment of the 32GB but Amazon ended up shipping me the 32GB with 2-day shipping at no extra charge. The return process was without issue and they gave the refund without question. Kudos #1!
Today, I contacted Amazon about the free Shuffle promotion with the 32GB touch. The response: "Kindly place an order now for the free item and write to us with your order number. We'll apply the promotion for you."
Kudos #2!
I don't generally gush about service but Amazon has been outstanding and deserves public recognition for the great service they have provided me.
Amazon is highly recommended for Apple purchases.
