OMG...Amazon 20% coupon on NEW Macbook Airs

Ordered the base 13" MacBook Air on 8/10 and it is now shipping soon with a 9/13 estimate. Looks like they got a bunch of them in. The one month wait was totally worth saving $450 if I had bought it at the Apple Store.
Thank God I didn't ask them to switch my order and discount to the 128GB 11" model when they had them in stock a week ago.

However, one of my USB ports is bad and I'm going to have to send it back...
If you are near an Apple Store just take it in to the Genius Bar.
Mine just shipped!!
EDIT: UPS says that it will be here on Monday and Amazon says Tuesday, who will be right? I hope UPS!

Congrats! I was wondering if you got yours already
I'd put my money on UPS since they are the carrier...
I don't think they do exchanges on non-Apple store purchased machines - or at least you had to go through hell and back to do it back when I worked there. To be fair though, that was a loooong time ago. I know I'm not willing to let them do a repair on a 1 day old machine.
The Amazon exchange process was insanely simple. I just filled out a web form, printed the label and took it to the post office, which is 3 blocks from my house. The new one is estimated to be here Wednesday, which is ok with me as long as the new one works correctly and the return is processed without any hassle.
I just haven't been in this thread as much because the WW/Mafia games require most of my forum time.
I'll still visit this thread after I get my computer.
I think this is hit or miss depending who you speak with at each store. There are two Apple stores in my town. One is very busy and a bit more difficult to get exceptions made (at least it seemed that way the couple times I've had problems and had to go there; maybe it was just the rep I was dealing with, though). The other store is newer, less crowded, and has been quicker to make exceptions, in my experience.
Probably Amazon, as they don't charge tax in most places. YOu could also try MacConnection's 3% off coupon. http://www.macconnection.com/IPA/Shop/Product/Detail.htm?sku=13055537&cac=Result

Did Amazon pay for return shipping? I didn't think that they did that for expensive items like laptops. I thought they reimbursed shipping costs afterward.
I had to pay for shipping, it was around 12$ at the post office. They give you an address label to print out along with an RMA form to put in the box. Once the return goes through they are supposed to credit that back to you. We will see how that part goes.
You could have selected a printed ups label no cost to you. Amazon pays for all return shipping on any defective item bought from amazon directly. If it's a cheap item they tell you to keep it and send out a replacement. With a free prime membership they are hard to beat.
Glad you didn't have to wait.
I also am getting the 13 256 for $995, can't wait to fire her up!

how'd u get it for so cheap?
What do you mean? I used my two KSO coupons the kindle rep had to apply them and I had to pay for the 1 day shipping they never refunded that.
What? The rep applied BOTH coupons to one MacBook? You lucked out by getting one of the stupidest, or at least most apathetic, reps at Amazon if so...
