Return period

4th paragraph down:

http://www.apple.com/shop/help/returns_refund

 

if you got it after November 10th, you get the extended return window.

 

I've confirmed with two different reps via online chat that the Holiday Return Period applies for the new MacBook as they've all been delivered after November 10.

 

Bought mine in store yesterday. Was told I had until January 7th to return it.

 

does this only apply to the ONLINE store?

Holiday Return Policy
Items purchased at the Apple Online Store that are received between November 10, 2016 and December 25, 2016, may be returned through January 8, 2017. Please note that all other terms and conditions provided in the Apple Online Store Sales and Refunds Policy are still applicable with respect to such items purchased. All purchases made after December 25, 2016 are subject to the Standard Return Policy.

 

No, my in-store receipt says January as well.

 

So just to clarify, those of us who pre-ordered right after the keynote will have until January 8th?

I just started an online chat, and she originally told me 14 days, and then once I mentioned the holiday return period she was like...oh yeah that applies too.

 

Folks, I've already provided the answer in post 2. It's black and white. If you received your MBP between Nov 10 and Dec 25 from Apple, then you have until Jan 8 to return it. There is no grey area, no gotchas, and no whammies....

 

My experience has not generally led me to believe that megacorps will consistently honor such terms. I mean, pretty often, probably, and I don't think Apple specifically has ever screwed me, but then, I don't think I've previously had to return an Apple product.

 

Apple honors their return policies. Just don't drop the laptop.

 

Great to know.

 

You won't return it. They are amazing don't believe the hate.

 

I was so tempted just now to troll so hard and say apple told me no pre-orders were honored in the holiday return. I exercised my self control though.

 

Pick the size you need. These are easily the finest laptops on the planet. Haters can hate. They don't get it.

 

Comments like this from you are of no surprise to me. Out of curiosity, do you ever have anything positive to say? I ask because you are constantly grinding axes in every thread around here.

For others reading this and are new to Apple, of course they honor their stated policies.
