5% back with Amazon or I could do Costco. Does Costco have some sort of warranty advantage? Was seeing conflicting info on that

students can get 5% back with Prime Young Adults, chase freedom gives 5% back at amazon this quarter i believe, or you can buy amazon gift cards at a grocery store and get 6% back on those with amex blue cash preferred, or numerous other 5% grocery cards. additionally, the shopback shopping portal gives an extemely small amount of cashback, but better than nothing

Ugh! This seems to happen a lot with Apple products at Amazon, because they mix inventory (even though they recently said that they don't... yeah, right!). I've even gotten empty boxes (apple watch bands) in the past. Sorry to hear.

most of these complaints are people are too dumb to understand when they're buying from 3rd party sellers or buying from Amazon resale used (which has a chance of issues and weirdness). I have seen it countless times at this point

All my problematic Apple -and other- purchases were "Sold and Shipped by Amazon". Don't assume.

And if you don't wanna deal with shipping or you don't wanna risk not getting a brand new one go take this deal to Best Buy and pick one up and they will absolutely price match.

appreciate the info. u just shared more evidence of amazon return fraud risk. especially LPN stickers.

i never buy expensive tech from amazon despite amazing prices. like phones, laptops, TVs. due to return fraud, warranty etc. i just cant trust amazon anymore with all the horror stories i read about returning a brick without buyer account frozen/banned etc.

anyone else with good/bad experience buying expensive tech products from amazon? especially apple?
for now, i just price match from costco or best buy. but not always available.

also, ive noticed amazon product details are always questionable and unsure of accuracy. pretty sure this config only comes w/ M5 10‑core CPU, 8‑core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engine unless u upgrade to the 24GB RAM for 10-core GPU? even then, not sure i trust amazon listing details for expensive tech.

I've generally not had an issue buying 10+ years. I have had two. First is I bought an Meta Quest 3 with one HD size and they shipped with a lower size. Another time, I bought Samsung phone and it was an obvious counterfeit. Both times, Amazon let me return with no hassle
