latest Max book Pro 13

I understand on the latest Mac book Pro 13 I will have to get a new battery?

Apple will not automatically put one in on the laptop I'm buying or send it with the computer I order?

I have to return the laptop and then they will replace the battery? Seems a little ridiculous. Will I have to pay postage for sending it back?

Can anyone advise me on this matter

13-inch MacBook Pro (non Touch Bar) Battery Replacement Program

Apple has determined that, in a limited number of 13-inch MacBook Pro (non Touch Bar) units, a component may fail causing the built-in battery to expand. This is not a safety issue and Apple will replace eligible batteries, free of charge. Affected units were manufactured between October 2016 and October 2017 and eligibility is determined by the product serial number.
