Mine say "FULFILLMENT BY AMAZON Amazon warehousedeals" in which case I think it's a bit more reliable than "just a 3rd party vendor". I've had success with them, but I haven't bought too many times from them. I think J. Bevier's response is right *if* it says that ("Amazon warehousedeals" etc.)

NO! I bought a Magic Bullet blender that was supposed to be 'new' and it malfunctioned a month after I got it...return policy is only one month so now I'm stuck with a 17 blender set that doesn't fit anything else.

My luck was poor...I ordered a Notebook with Windows 7, Core i5 and DVD-RW and received a Windows 8, Core i3 and no DVD drive. Now I can't get a RA# to return it.

NO!!!!!! THIS SELLER IS HORRIBLE!!!! I ordered a Gazebo Penguin 41215 4-Season Solarium, 12 by 15-Feet. Sold by: Warehouse Deals, Inc, waited almost a month for delivery and 2 days before delivery was scheduled, I received an email that the item was not longer available and canceled my order. REALLY? I cancelled my Prime acct because of Warehouse Deals Inc. I will never order an item sold by them again.

I bought a roll of laminating film for my lamination machine. The description said the box was damaged and possibly the contents. For what I use it for, I figured I could get around that. The box was damaged, the film rolls on he inside wrinkled on the ends, but the worst part was that the film was 1.7 mil and the description said it was 5 mil. I had to return it and won't ever order from them again

Absolutely not! I purchased a used "like new" iPad mini. It worked great for about a month then went completely nuts. I've tried everything to fix the problem with no luck. When I went to amazon to return it, the 30 days was up and now I can't return it an I am stuck with a $400 paperweight. My advice would be STAY AWAY FROM WAREHOUSE DEALS INC!

Thank you for the update. Major bummer - Apple seems to be screwing Amazon and the other retailers by holding out inventory of the new iMacs from them. I don't want to wait another month + either, so I'll probably get one from the Apple store too, and suffer the $150 tax hit. Booooo to Apple on this one.

I purchased mine more than a year ago so I do not think they belong to the same batch. My computer works perfectly, however, very soon after I bought it it started showing lines on the screen, I could not use the warranty. Apple refused to accept the warranty as they said the computer had been sold a long time ago and they did not recognize the Amazon invoice as proof of sale of a new machine.

Reading the Apple Support forums, people are getting the black MacBooks now from Amazon even when they are quoted a July shipping date. Also, in the MB 1.83 Ghz Amazon forum, someone mentioned that he got his shipped and delivered earlier this month even when quoted a late shipping date.So I think that Amazon is just being conservative as Apple is notorious for not having enough supply for their products. I think Amazon is just trying to cover their butts in case Apple can't meet demand and doesn't allocate enough shipments to Amazon.

Your MBA is the same as mine and this AppleCare worked fine for me. The 'old version' refers to the AppleCare package itself, I believe. Anyway, they email you a scan of the box and a legitimate receipt, both of which are necessary to validate your AppleCare with Apple and prove that you bought it from a legit dealer, if you need to use it. The email confirmation of the order indicates that it was 'shipped' and I mistakenly thought something was going to be mailed. The email scan and receipt is all you will receive and actually need. I consider my transaction to have been a good deal.

Hey man I just checked what you said and its true...I bought mine less than two months ago and it said newest version...amazon probably differences their bundles this way...the computer came completely new and in perfect condition its the latest model and its extremely thin...the retina display will blow your head off its gorgeous...I have some pictures on instagram if you want to see it... @wakiko007 hope I helped answering your question

Hi, David, We have six Macintosh laptops in our household, ranging from 2 500 MHz ice ibooks bought back in 2000 to a new Macbook and a new Macbook pro. All of them are still working really well, given their ages and what we've put them through. There have been some flaws, yes, but no more flaws than friends who have PC laptops have endured (and they're in worse shape than we are sometimes). We have gotten two lemons; my partner's Ti Powerbook had a manufacturing flaw that showed up causing the motherboard to short circuit, and my first Macbook had a literally warped case, which meant it cracked. However, those can happen to anyone and it was just bad luck as far as I'm concerned -- he bought his through the apple online store, I got mine in person at the apple store. Buy Applecare. ALWAYS. And never go to the Genius bar if you can avoid it -- it's named ironically. Applecare and the applecare 800 number are your best bet. The bigger test I think is the powerbooks and ibooks that are now 4 and 8 years old, respectively. They're all going strong. One's our file server, one's a music server for the house, one runs a linux test environment, and one's in my kitchen, serving as my recipe library and media etc center. They all get a lot of work, and other than all being restarted every sunday night at 8, they pretty much run continually. Of course they're out of battery, but that's to be expected. Batteries don't last forever. Good luck, and I hope this helped!

I purchased mine from Amazon Warehouse deals, which is a returned open box item from a previous customer but stocked and sold my Amazon. I purchased a "like new" condition Spectre and it came with original box and even included the original marketing materials etc. Not one scratch on the entire laptop, and it has worked flawlessly. Mine even had 9 months remaining on the original 12 month warranty through HP. Well worth the $300+ I saved from the "new" price.

I just received my MacBook today, and was disappointed to find that it had tiger installed, not leopard. I was under the impression that leopard would already be in it. looks like I would have to pay another $100-plus to purchase it. If you have any luck from Amazon, please let me know.

It's a good laptop for college, just know that it is older unless the seller has updated it so if they have not then you will be limited as far as downloads go. I actually have a new Macbook Air and with Macs they are already limited and then you add the age would make it very limited with basic downloads like Adobe, etc. Try looking around locally on Craigslist and you may find one that are updated with the newest OS. Hope this was helpful.

Christopher has the right idea. Check with Apple Jeffery. Options like the i7 2.6GHz processor and the Fusion Drive are BTO(Build to Order) options. You can get them directly from Apple online or at any Apple store. I went through the same thing with Best Buy until I realized what BTO meant. There is a short wait while they build your machine. It is actually kind of cool if you think about it, this way your Mac is assembled especially for you.

hi taylor350, what is the education discount consist of? I was about to purchase a Mac for my teacher daughter but may now just give her an amazon giftcard? Does that make more sense?

Amazon has the advantage of "No Sales Tax" but shipping is free also from Apple. 13" MacBook Pro is slightly cheaper at Amazon. If you have a Costco AmExp card, they will double the Apple 1 year warranty when you use their card. If you want AppleCare, Amazon sells that plan cheaper than Apple also. Go direct to Amazon, not one of their sellers. If they say new, I would believe them.

I'm within a mile and a half of a Costco, Best Buy, Apple store, and Circuit City. It's 9 AM. they all open in an hour. I think I'll be able to get a Touch at one of those stores. :) To heck with Amazon. They blew it big time with me, by showing "In Stock" when I ordered, on the 16th. I don't care about engraving and I know Apple is hard nosed about returns, so I'll double check the Return policy of the store I buy from, just in case the Touch doesn't work out well for me. IF Apple didn't have an automatic restocking fee, I'd just buy from them...
