I'm with you--already looking at that. However, I was rather hoping to trade in my 2018 iPP 12.9 with Apple. (Over doing Swappa and private sales), so I'm debating on waiting until Black Friday and hope for a Gift Card and the trade-in numbers don't tank OR just buy through Amazon and trade-in with Apple to give myself credit for a future purchase.
Price match at Target, use the Target Red Card, save 5% more…. Get it for $949.
The Apple Store on Amazon is a nice way to see the different models next to each other, but I much prefer Apple's return policy to Amazon's for computers and electronics. Amazon will only accept it if it's DOA, damaged from shipping, or unopened, and if it's not, may charge a restocking fee.
I don’t think it has shown up, although I find it helpful checking the refurb store of various countries to see if it’s a thing.
From Amazon:
I look at it this way: part of shopping is knowing how the company will handle it if there's an issue. Knowing any company's return policy, product warranty, and product support is just as important as the product price.
You just saved me a lot of heartache! I went back and clicked on the small, hidden hyperlink about the return policy, and I saw exactly what you’re talking about and cancelled that order. Since I’m not sure how I’ll do with the mini-LED, no returns is no bueno.
I agree. Think this is a good example of complacency and assumption. I buy a lot from Amazon and regularly look for the “free returns” tag below the price, but my brain just assumed—because it’s Apple?!—that returns would be inevitable. Fortunately in this case, this reminder didn’t cost me.
Yeah, pretty sure this is why I stick with Apple. Like how they roll. This just reminded me why.
As I understand it, Target only price-matches with themselves? The website currently says they will price-match if their price decreases before Christmas.
No, their site gives a list of 20-30 websites they match with, including Amazon.com, bestbuy.com, Newegg.com
Yes, I was reading that--a nice long list--but I was reading more of the fine print, and it said things like the item has to be currently in stock and other little things. You know, like they want to make it a challenge.
Well, everyone sort of HAS to do that. I can't a small local competitor, I get 5 iPads, I sell them for $100 off. But when I sell all 5 really fast.... then Target needs to price match and sell all 20 they get for $100 off?Yes, I was reading that--a nice long list--but I was reading more of the fine print, and it said things like the item has to be currently in stock and other little things. You know, like they want to make it a challenge.
But it's a good idea, and I'll likely try.
