By the way, return a MacBook to Best Buy and you get banned from returns for 90 days.
Happened to me when the Macbook Pro Retina's first came out, was deciding between 13" and 15" so I bought both and returned the 13". Banned from returns for 90 days, now I don't step foot in a Best Buy anymore.
If you're not sure, buy from Apple, not Best Buy.
ok...don't spread misinformation. They use a third party to determine your return history. It is called "TRE" the retail equation. It tracks your returns from a few different retailers. It takes more than 1 return to get you banned.
I am quite sure they will take an unopened rMB back from an elite plus member.
Not true at all. I returned a 2015 rMBP 13 and a 2015 MBA within a few weeks of each other and I didn't get banned. Your local BB must not like you lol
Not true at all. I'm very indecisive and have returned a (2015) 13" rMBP for a (2014) 15" rMBP, only to realize it was too big and heavy for daily travel for me, returned again and ordered an open box (2015) 13" rMBP from their website, only to return because it had a scratch that was annoying me, then bought a new (2015) 13" rMBP again which I liked, only to return for the rMB I just picked up on Mon. All this through BB and within the past 30 days. So if anyone should've been "banned" from returns it should've been me, but they haven't yet.
Crazy. I just ordered the base SG with upgrade shipping and used the movers coupon. If all goes well, it'll be in my hands Friday. Local BB offered a base Gold but I was not interested. Went to the Apple Store a few minutes later. Gal there said maybe the 24th for inventory?
A sale is a sale for Apple but I would consider it an embarrassment to walk past an Apple store in order to actually get one.

Apple doesn't even have any in the US, they are shipping direct from China. Find it hard to believe Best Buy has them on hand in the US.
My local Best Buy had a Space Grey 256 and a Gold 512 yesterday, so it certainly is believable.
I bet best buy got them today from apple (from China), and they are filling their orders and shipping them right away.
The same way people got theirs yesterday from china.
Overnight from China to someones front door in the US is not possible. Its like 4-5 hours from China to Japan, a 12 hour flight from Japan to where they all come into the US in TN, then at least another few hours to clear customs, then to a local facility and then on to a truck. It took 4 days for those of us who ordered from Apple with expedited shipping.
right. Best buy probably had them shipped from apple a few days ago. They just arrived, and they are now filling orders from that shipment that came from china. It took days to get there, but it is there now.
No different than people who order directly from apple and they got theirs yesterday. Bestbuy ordered directly from apple. They arrived yesterday or today. They are shipping them from the current US location to customers around the US...making overnight possible.
Does that make a little more sense? Bestbuy has a warehouse in the US. That is where these MacBooks will ship from.
UPS tracking is not live yet. I am sure when I wake up, I will have a US tracking location and it will be out for delivery. When I ordered on best buy today at 10:0am EST, for $30, it said it would be here Thursday.
You ordered 5 hours ago and still no tracking for something showing up tomorrow? If its not active, means it probably hasn't been picked up yet and its already 6pm your time. Hate to say it but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Amazon does this all of the time. I do not get the tracking until 2-3 AM, and I still get it the same day. That is how overnight works.
Way different than normal shipping. I can order something right now from amazon and have it tomorrow by noon. It will not ship until the early morning hours.
to be more exact. I can order this right now, in the next 22 minutes, and have it tomorrow.
