"Ordered Sony Camcorder and received email confirmation that camera would be shipped April 3rd. They charged my credit card and when I went in to check order status, it says it was cancelled. Gave no reason, received no email, still have a hold on my credit card. Very poor customer service."
"They cancelled my order without calling or emailing me. I would have never known it was cancelled if I didn't check it myself. Very poor customer service."
"Placed order and they cancelled it! I am very unhappy about this. No phone call no email explaining why. not good for business I will shop from Dell from now on!"
"I ordered A Sony HDR-FX1 HD Digital Camcorder and received my order confirmation. Five hours later for no reason the order was cancelled. What kind of customer service does Apple have when they offer a product for sale and then cancel it after confirming the order. The order was made directly on the Apple Store website and I have no idea what caused the order to be cancelled. I suggest buyers beware of Apple's questionable practices. You can bet this is the last order I will ever place at the Apple Store."
"I had trouble completing the order online, so I called the phone #. Very nice and polite customer service."
"Though my Mini did not ship out in 24 hours, after contacting Apple they promptly refunded my overnight shipping cost and it was shipped out two days earlier than expected (it had been delayed).
Handled very well IMO, I have no complaints. :)"
"I purchased a black I-Pod nano. I happened to get one of the faulty ones with a bad screen and it broke after a month of normal use. I requested an RMA and I was astouned by the fact that they actually shipped you a prepaid box for you to ship the product back to them. They even inluding foam for packaging and tape to reseal the box.
It was very fast shipping considering it told me an average wait time of 1-2 weeks plust another 5 or 6 days for shipping half way across the world. Plus with my order it was free!
Can't comment much on the prices because Apple prices are pretty much standard no matter where you look."
"I ordered a refurbished PowerBook from the Apple Store. The product arrived in like new condition! Also, the item was shipped a day before promised and arrived only 2 days later. And the Apple Store online is much simpler to use than other computer manufacturer's online stores."
"Delivered on schedule, good price, works well. Happy customer. "
"I ordered a black 30gb ipod on the eighteenth of January, and I recieved it today, on the 20th. I'm very impressed by the fast shipping made by Apple. The customer service was very friendly, too. Thanks to the student discount, I was able to get the ipod for slightly less cheaper. But what I didn't like was that they charge my credit card account twice, one was for a ipod case, and another for the ipod, separately. I ended up cancelling the ipod case. I found some at Circuit City for slightly cheaper so I'll buy those instead. But overall, I will definitely shop here again. Thanks, Apple "
"I was a little skeptical about buying from Apple's web store after the mediocre reviews from fellow buyers. Since my options were limited if I wanted my MP3 player before the end of the year I bit the bullet. Since I’m a student I was able to utilize their academic discount program giving me one of the cheapest IPods around. The free laser engraving was nice and provides a little personal flare. Since Apple operates a physical store in my state (Ohio) I had to pay sales tax, which was a slight nuisance, but my discount made up for it. Expedited shipping was relative cheap at about $11 for 2-day service and I’m glad I went for it. My order shipped out of Shanghai, China, but Fed-Ex was true to their word and I received my package in 2 days. Apple’s packaging was lack-luster. The IPod box was placed in a cardboard box just slightly larger than it and shipped without any intermediate packaging material to absorb physical trauma it might experience during shipping. This aside, I’m very pleased with my order. I ordered on a Tuesday and had it here in my hands on Friday with everything working wonderfully. "
"Bought the 60gig Ipod Video! Very fast transaction. Got this bad boy in 5 days! This is from China, Shanghai! They use the best shipper- Fedex! You have to sign for this which is awesome. This is my 3rd time buying from them, bought 2 nanos. Got the student discount which save me some money. I give them 10 star!!! Also bought the Speck ipod cover, got them in 2 days, amazing! "
"I ordered an iPod Video 30GB Black from Apple. I chose Apple instead of ordering it tax-free from other online stores because of the free engraving they offered. I ordered on Dec. 6, at night, with the free shipping and expected it to be here on the 16th. I received it today (Dec. 9)! Amazing! With so many negative reviews on this site and others, I was bracing myself for the worst. I guess I'll see, if I have to return it."
"I renewed my membership with mac.com early with a credit card they did not have on file. They not only charged me then but charged me again 15 days later with the card I had on file with them. Their non-personal billing support has been very un helpful sending me the smae e-mail over and over agin asking the same question I keep answering, which by the way, has nothing to do with the situation. I keep on requesting a human response by e-mail or phone to address my issue and I'm getting no where. All I want is them to reimburse one of my credit cards."
"Ordered an iPod and charging adaptor because they offered a student discount. Was able to get both items for a cheaper rate than buying them elsewhere. They also had the items in stock when my local Best Buy and CompUSA were sold out since the beginning of November.
What upsets me is the means of packaging. I was pleased they used UPS for shipping, however the box the contents came in had no padding! At least throw in some newspaper to prevent the contents from shaking around and getting damaged guys! "
