I work at Best Buy. I'll have to scour the warehouse tomorrow.
OK, just wanted to capture this in case you delete it again!
I have it on good authority that the day before the 23rd, a smaller box was delivered to Best Buys that said DO NOT OPEN THE OTHER BOX which is why you haven't heard anything about what's inside it.
Come on, the moment he said the box was delivered covered in a black cloth should have set off your BS detectors.

Okay I have a new part of the story, and don't call me a liar, I'm only telling you guys what my dad tells me.
The March 23rd package: One of my dad friends wrecked on of those packages and had to pick it up in pieces and Apple claimed it. It was a huge cardboard/particle board (he wasn't sure) display with 120 slots (I don't know for what they are) for something ( I not going to make up details that I don't know)
New packages going to Apple and Best Buy: The skids that we were talking about had only a few pieces of security tape. On this new package, he used several expletives to describe the amount of security tape on this box. This box has a declared value of over $400 per cubic foot, and has a do not open till April 2nd sticker on the tape.
Today is when I found out and it is a weekend so my dad does not work today. He used a few more expletives on how jammed up his system is with these packages, so it will be quite easy for him to get a picture of these and as soon as he does I'll upload it here.
I totally get how you might think "Oh this kid struck out the first time and now is making a new story." Anyway, I can't make you believe me, but I see no logical reason why you think I'm lying, because I only stand to get flamed for it.
I'll keep you updated, please don't be mean I'm only telling you what I was told.

cause there are so many holes in your story its unbelievable, literally
you need proof, take a photo, and your dad magically always is not at work.
there is no particle board display with 120 slots, no one keeps this **** in a display, its kept locked up
also your info is worthless now, see Esquare. What kind of stupid ass information is needed when APPLE ITSELF has announced something
1. A lit of people were wondering what was in the first box. This told them
2. My dad works nights and doesn't work on weekends, is that so magical?
The 120 slot display is quite plausible. I've seen this sort of thing for other high value items. The display is filled with empty product boxes. Customers grab a box and take it to the checkout, where it will be exchanged for secured actual product. It makes inventory counting easy. When the case is empty all the product is gone. It also saves employees having to go back and forth to the stock area to retreive fast moving product. When new stock comes in, the display is refilled with empty boxes. After a few weeks, or so, when the initial demand decreases, the stock can be handled in the normal fashion.
If he works nights how does he deliver to Best Buy? They would be closed...
Not only that but Fed Ex only delivers from 8am to 7pm?
Night probably isn't the best word, but his schedule terribly conflicts with me drilling him for info. He goes to work at noon and comes home around 10:30. I in school will he works and in bed when he gets home.
Speaking of information: These came from a sea port in Santa Monica.
When you ship a package you declare total value and value per unit. Drivers see that and the value per pound, so they know what they're looking at if the receiver files a claim.
This thread has been such a waste of time - i can't believe it's being extended w/ more rubbish. If this guy keeps listing dates, eventually he'll get one right. We know that Apple has iPads coming out, updates to other hardware coming, etc - he'll get one soon!
Give the kid a break. If you think the thread's a waste of time then why prolong it with bullying?
Cheers for the info appleguy, this site thrives on speculation, it's just another form of entertainment for the masochistic members who spend their days awaiting any shred of apple-related news.
Again, I have nothing to gain from lying, only a lot of dignity to lose. If I wanted to lie I would make a new account and spread BS, not use an account I've had for nearly a year.
