Screwed By Apple

Dear Apple,
It is not like when I placed the order you did not know my mailing address.  Did it just dawn you today to check if Saturday delivery was available for my area.  You have my money and my iPad.  No option for in store pickup, which would have been good customer service.  Maybe you should use Microsoft technology, because they would not make such a mistake. I am a APPLE FAN. I PRE-ORDERED so I would have my device DAY 1. If you had told me that Saturday Delivery was not and option, I would have drove to the store and picked it up. Thanks for giving me no option.  Being a fan SUCKS!!

Sincerely,
Screwed over customer

All I can say is thank goodness this is not my order.  Please tell me Apple is playing an April Fools Joke.

Update: After a call to Apple our reader is getting his $39.99 case for free. Additionally, he has access to an in store pickup iPad in his area so problem solved. If you get/got this email call Apple!

    The in-store pick up is only because I not only ordered one for delivery, but also at the same time, ordered one for in-store pickup. So just wanted to make that clear.

    So had you not ordered two iPad you would have been screwed on not being able to have it the first day. Just curious….Why did you order two and have them shipped differently? Was there a previous problem with Apple products shipping?

    Just spur of the moment, had ordered a second one just in case my sister who was not available to pre-order wanted one and since you didn’t have to use a credit card to hold the one at the store, it wasn’t an issue.

    Never had any previous problems with shipping, but had normally bought all my items at the Apple store.

    Final update… the iPad arrived at 3pm today. Only about 6 hours after I already picked up my in-store iPad. Either I’ll ship it back or sell to a friend (for face value)
