macNewbie02: Yes, they do charge sales tax, and I wasn't able to get the student discount, unfortunately. If you go to www.macmall.com and go to the product page for the new RMBP, it will tell you exactly how many units each store has in stock.
I guarantee when you made this post you had no intention of it becoming like one of the biggest forum posts on Macrumors...lol
So it looks like in store pickup has been made unavailable (again) on apple.com, anyone else get an order it while it was up last night? I'm curious to see how long it takes for it to be ready for pick up.
Seems Best Buy is the best bet now. I believe Apple Stores locally may have some but they are not giving out information. Maybe if you camp out there all day and see them being wheeled into the store you might get one
Calling seems to get one no where.Seems Best Buy is the best bet now. I believe Apple Stores locally may have some but they are not giving out information. Maybe if you camp out there all day and see them being wheeled into the store you might get one
Yeah. Lakeland bestbuy claimed to have non yesterday and didn't know when they'd be getting them. They also said they didn't price match education discount.
Seems to. Guy was really nice though. If I don't have any luck this morning and best buy gets them in I might bring up the image of receipts online and see what they can do.
Hope we have some luck somewhere, I am more hopeful today since others have had success. If Best Buy got their shipment I think a bigger shipment than 2 devices is coming to the Apple store. I just hope they stop lying to me.
I'll do the same as I did yesterday morning. Brandon, Tampa, Florida Mall, Mallinia Mall.
At this point, I have no faith or confidence in the central Florida Apple stores. Like I said yesterday, Apple is giving no information to their retail stores. Employees have no clue. It is almost comical that Best buy has units for sale while Apple Retail stores don't.
So funny, International Plaza has 6 units on disply and none for sale. Nice work Apple.

Not confident at all. Central Florida Apple stores have no clue as to what is going on.

I think Best Buy has units and the Apple stores don't because less people think to go to and to call Best Buy. Also there are way more Best Buy stores than Apple stores, so if Best Buy ordered x number of units per store, there is a much greater chance that they will have stock. In Apples case, people have been lining up outside everyday just in case they get stock and some people have basically waited around all day until the shipments did come in. Also Best Buy is a huge business partner for Apple, so they have an obligation to make sure they get the supply they ordered even if it means they will have less stock to sell in their own stores.
I'm not defending the way Apple has handled the launch especially in their retail stores, but I don't think it's fair to knock them based on Best Buy having more stock than Apple. I have a feeling that once Best Buy's initial shipments dry up, they will be out of stock for awhile.
Maybe today they are turning over a new leaf.
I hope. Honestly, I almost feel bad for the store employees. They really don't know what to say to customers.
