I have worked at Best Buy and currently work at FedEx. FedEx typically to my knowledge does not ship product to store such as BestBuy, they have their own shipping department. Im NOT calling you a liar im just saying that i find this hard to believe. HOWEVER i would be more than happy to help validate your statement IF you would like. Just PM some proof of your dads employment at FedEx. Once again i mean this in no offensive way at all just stating my insider opinion.

I worked in inventory for BB after highschool, we got UPS and FedEx shipments all the time. Especially for stuff from vendors.

I think that would be a very bad idea.he should not discuss revealing information to you-- a stranger.

Don't do it fedex kid
 
Dude, whatever you do, make sure you don't do anything that would cause your dad to lose his job.

As for the box, I can't get over thinking what they could be. Someone mentioned it wasn't heavy enough to be an entire stock.. so maybe a considerable number of demo-units ? Was it all for that particular BB branch or was it going to be distributed further ?

Anyways, a big part of me thinks Apple would never send out an unannounced product. Its just too risky for a company so obsessed with secrecy. They won't do that unless its a currently running product.
 
I just don't see why Apple would ship them new products so early :confused:

Exactly my thoughts. It takes 5 mins to open up one of the boxes and leak pictures of the content to the internet. If its done anonymously you won't be able to fire the entire crew of that Best Buy. Just doesn't add up.
 
I think it would be iPads, as Apple wouldnt hesitate to release a new MBP.

Although it seems unlike Apple to ship them so early, your dad, or a best buy employee, could just take the package and be a very rich man.

Certainly not iPads IMO coz Apple doesn't let them out of their cages till 03 April. Guy said the box had a "do not open till 23 March" sticker.
