How can I be sure that when I order a new one from Amazon I will not get a used one? Is it better to order direct from Apple Shop?

I got mine brand new.sealed box and everything. You can always return it if your not satisfied. Cheaper in amazon than apple direct.

I believe you should be able to detect new from used. Scrutinize the item carefully and trust your gut feeling. I don't believe they will pass off used as new. Reputation matters and I doubt if they will risk that.

For the most time, When AMAZON advertise the Item to be BRAND NEW, it normally is. I can not say anything for the SUB-SELLERS on Amazon, cuz that is an individual matter from case to case. As one of our fellow Amazonian's mentioned earlier, he/she had received a Used item direct from Amazon. thou rare, the restocking is done by human interaction, and that always leaves the margin for error to happen. but I believe, and from personal experience, Know that amazon.com will stand behind their product and will adjust any such errors promptly. I can say that based on my experience with Amazon.com, some 18 yrs or so, since the Mid 1990's For the most time, When AMAZON advertise the Item to be BRAND NEW, it normally is.

I gave up on Amazon. Canceled my order (Preordered Feb 17th). I stopped by the local Apple store and picked one up that they had in stock. It sucks that i had to pay tax, but at least now i have it. I'm guessing Apple is to blame on this mess. It's seems that they're only selling them directly, and denying them to other stores like Amazon. :-/

I ordered it a week ago, still hasn't come, neither a record of it being shipped. Should I just cancel the order and go to the Apple store??

It's either refurbished or it's a used iPad. Apple told me if new taken out of the box it would be wrapped in cellophane. If you want an Ipad 3rd generation go directly to the Apple store and purchase from them. The go over the iPad replace the battery, check it out for everything that is wrong and fix it. You then get a 1 year limited warranty and a 14 day money return if need be. The apple person I talked to buys all her products from the refurbished store. This iPad was only on the market for 221 days before the iPad 4 generation was released.

WOW i just noticed that, its the only reason I didn't go ahead and place my order, can anyone confirm this? i get free shipping here and no tax, but apple wants to charge me tax, so i came to amazon, but i don't want to wait a month.

For a used item, the warranty starts on the original purchase date. It's up to the seller to provide that specific information. If you do get one still under warranty you will need to transfer it. There are details on Apple'store Web site. You must have some of the original paperwork. Again you will need to contact the seller for the specific information.

There are other storefronts on amazon selling the ipod touch. I bought mine from 6ave. I had an order with amazon since Sept. 20 and their customer service told me I wouldn't get it until November 14. Unacceptable. I too had amazon gift certs I wanted to use, so I cancelled with amazon and purchased with 6ave through amazon. 6ave had stock and I could still use my gift certs on the order. So, hopefully I'll get it this week.Definitely look at other storefronts on amazon as you may be able to apply your gift certs on that order.

It is as new as you get straight from the Apple store. I have purchased 3 mac computer and accessories all from Amazon and have always been very happy. This reseller even shipped it to my residence out of my normal residence and got it in two days.

I was very upset that Amazon in fact did not get their dates straight (I called customer service when I got the update). I have ordered mine 10/3 with their promise to deliver by 10/19. Well, I was promised early december delivery date but got my shipment today. Thanks, Amazon. I also ordered one from apple.com, got it in 2 days with free shipping also (I did have to pay tax). One difference though, apple sent my merchandise in a very safe and sturdy packaging. well cushioned and supported. Amazon shipment came in a box with very minimal cushion. Items rattled when I picked it up from my mailbox. My consolation is that it came prior to Christmas.

I tried to download my I tune file for my music and other video. I had some problem, the seller asked mo to go the Apple store to check out.I was told my apple that this phone is previously owned. I bought fro Amazon as new. I dont know, if this is actually pre owned. Seller should tell it new or used. I bought it as new per the seller.

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!

I ordered a 16g iPod touch from them last week, and it is on it's way on time. I had originally ordered the touch through amazon, but after the shipping date kept changing, I cancelled and went with datavis.com. I had $300 in amazon gift certificates, so I wanted to shop through amazon or one of their storefronts. UPS says I should have the iPod by Friday, so we'll see. I have my fingers crossed. I think a lot of times people only post their negative experiences on those ratings sites. At least with ebay, you are "reminded" over and over to leave your feedback.

I got mine on Black Friday. I saw the price and my eyes almost popped out of my head. I couldn't order it fast enough! Keep an eye out, you never know when the price might drop again. Even at this price it's still cheaper than any other reseller I've seen or even the Apple Store is. I live in Texas and I have no sales tax when purchasing from Amazon which is a added plus!

Christy, I got my Touch yesterday at my nearby local Apple store. First I went to Costco, then Circuit City, and then Best Buy. None of them had any 2nd gen Touch's. I ended up buying one at Apple, and the entire shopping trip, including chatting with a friend I ran into at the mall on the way to and from the Apple store, consumed just one hour. Had I gone directly from my home to the store, the whole thing could have been accomplished in about 20 minutes. Amazon's dirty tactics caused me a 8 day delay. And yes, I agree, don't order a Touch from Amazon if you want to get it anytime soon.
