I am doing. Packed it up and will mail back tomorrow. Also placed an order for the same machine direct from Apple. Paying more but with it to know I'll have a brand new machine.
Got a tip for us?

they can charge what they want and I'll use my money how I want
I've returned tons of apple products and I tell them exactly what I'm doing. Don't you test drive cars and put miles on them you can't return? Yeah I sleep at night just fine.they can charge what they want and I'll use my money how I want
Your "test driving cars" is a false analogy, thus irrelevant to this conversation.
Ahhhhhh.
So the packing was aftermarket after all.
very u
Ahh geez. Amazon electronics DID strike again. I should’ve kept pressing my gut instincts and not given in to being nice. Sometimes I get a little headstrong
In the photography world this happens quite a bit and most pros will stay the F away from Amazon.
Anyways. How did you like it while you used it?

Finally got to the bottom of this. Not happy at all. Very naughty by Amazon.

This is some heavy rationalization of something you know is wrong. They do not ”abuse” you by charging so much, because if you think their products don’t offer enough value for your money, you have every right not to buy them. And if you’re not sure, you’re welcome to buy a product and return it if you feel this is the case. But buying something you have no intention of keeping, even before it arrives, that is the abuse of the system. You can do it, it’s legally your right - and, as you said, Apple will be fine - but we’re not going to make you feel better about it.
Car dealerships are set up to actively encourage test driving. They want you to take their vehicles out on the road knowing full well that you wont always buy the vehicles in question. In fact with new vehicles, a lot of the time you do that you don't actually end up buying the vehicle you test drove but rather one that's in inventory somewhere.
Apple do not. In fact Apple nowhere anywhere in their advertising, marketing or anywhere else mention anything like "test driving" of anything outside the store, and when you do "test" it's with purpose built inventory that are never ever sold "as new".
And finally, and most importantly, the vehicle test drive happens BEFORE you put a single penny down on the vehicle. The dealerships require nothing more than a driving license to do this.
However, once you've taken delivery of the vehicle, good luck in returning it if it develops a fault 5 days later.
That's why it's a false analogy.
Not in the slightest. People abuse such offers all the time. Apple no doubt factor this in to the selling price.
Same with healthcare - bad practices are still going on and it results in higher bills for the consumers. As long as someone else pays for the abuse, it's allowed.
