Last week at work, my boss asked me to order an AV cable for his iPod, so I went online to do a little research which included Epinions of course. After a couple minutes I decided to purchase the cable directly from Apple ...

Shipping dates are moving targets with apple. I am a loyal user but I refuse to buy from their online store because I never know when the shipment will arrive.

I felt compelled to write this review about the apple store because they did something amazing this week. I ordered personalized iPod from their web cite on Tuesday early in the morning as a present for my wife. After I placed an order I realized that ...

I have been buying small items from the local Apple store for a couple of years (software upgrades, cables, iPod, Sound stuff etc.) and I have always found the help intelligent and reasonably knowledgeable, and most importantly if they didn't know, they went and found out! rather than making up some fabled tale I have owned my Mac G4 for three years which I bought privately. Last week, I bought an iBook and found the same efficient staff. While waiting to have some extra RAM installed in the iBook, I was over trying out a G5 and had an excellent conversation with an Apple employee who new something about Photoshop and got some great hints on some workflow refinements. Just an all round great store. (The computers are pretty nice as well).

My computer came in about 3 days. They deducted the money from my account about 5 days later. I love the computer and the delivery was free.

I have had a horrible experience with the Apple Store. My husband was buying QuickTime on February 19th, and somehow also ordered a $3200 monitor he swears he didn't add to the cart. In any event, as soon as we got the emailed confirmation that night, ...

I'm waiting for an iMac order with upgrades a child could do, but Apple has extended delivery estimate another week after 10 days wait already. Meanwhile, the Apple store continues to offer overnight shipping on new iMac orders. I just called the store to ask what the deal was and got hung-up on because the rep didn't like my "tone"! This is typical arrogant Apple form, and I'm about to call back and cancel before I get stuck with an Apple lemon, like the 2002 iBooks that go about six months before the boards crash and then get the same defective board in replacement. Hard to imagine worse management (they don't even know approximately when the product will be ready) and a shoddier product (expensive total crash twice a year). But hey, they have time and money for sales and marketing, you better believe it. BUYER BEWARE!!!

Bought an Apple Mouse and Keyboard. Free shipping on all orders above $50. Easy to use website interface.
Shipped a few days before the estimated time.

My on-line experience could be a poster child for "how to alienate customers." I ordered a mini-iPod a week before Christmas. Our order was shipped right away, but according to UPS records it was delivered to another address some miles from the one ...

I bought an iTrip by calling up the store. He took my
order and mentioned that there will be a SHIPPING charge, which was fine. However, when I check my Order confirmation email, these suckers have charged SHIPPING + SALES TAX... Ridiculous isin't it ??

I ordered an Ipod Mini for Christmas 2004 on Dec. 20. They did promise to have it in by Christmas, but it doesn't look like that will happen. You see they ship most of their expensive products from Shanghai, China. Definetly don't waste money on overnight. Don't believe the Apple Store's Shipping of 1-3 days or 3-5 days on any of their products. It's nearly impossible since it comes from China. Apple also makes you pay sales tax which is unheard of at online stores like newegg.com or even walmart.com. The only advantage I got from the Apple Store was a personalized engraving on my Ipod Mini, but now I am contemplating whether it was worth not only missing Christmas but even a vacation. I would not shop here again.

Hi. I just used the Apple Store yesterday. I've used the Apple store to purchase things on two occasions. Yesterday and one previous occasion during which I bought an iPod accessory because I had a coupon - which I got for renewing my .Mac ...

I have made purchases at both the Apple Store on-line and one of their retail outlets in Atlanta. Both experiences were excellent. The retail store was a bit understaffed for the floods of people who were in there. But other than that, no problems.
