Hi,
I got My New iPad Engraved Directly Thru Apple where & when I Ordered it.
I did Order it online & it was Sent "FREE" to my home; Rather than picking it up at the ONLY APPLE STORE in Rhode Island( which Literally is A MadHouse, with More Oglers, than BUYERS, & if U want to Buy, they ( or at least the "GENIUS" who took care of me could've cared less what HE DID or DID NOT SELL ME!) I had to keep on HIM to Literally get the ITEMS I NEEDED & WANTED
I went there WANTING to BUY BOTH a LAPTOP & an iPad.( plus I needed a new wire for my iPhone 4, as it twisted so badly the wires were coming out of the CORD CASING( but he sold Me the Whole Charger, which I didn't need). He talked me OUT of buying BOTH the Laptop & the iPad. He said" you don't need both" I hadn't a clue and He was the GENIUS so I listened to him. He showed me a laptop, said it would fit my needs & proceeded to the checkout area. I stopped him as I saw a larger one a man was updating his iPhone on. I asked him which that one was? He told me " OH it's the Same exact one you're getting just a bit larger screen"( he was selling me the 13" MacBook Pro, and never mentioned it came in 3 sizes, the Moron! So I told him I wanted "That One". He wasn't too Happy about having to Swich them, but he did it. I told him I needed some very comfortable Headphones as the earbuds which come with the iPhone hurt my ears. What did he Suggest? He lazily waved to a wall & said " they're all there". No suggestions, no further comment. So I picked a$60.00 pair that honestly are not that great. Then I asked for a printer. He huffily got me a HP printer/ Scanner/ fax & copier in 1. $99.00. I thought that was a deal, until I realized much later( no I stupidly Didn't hook it up right away) so too late to return, it only had Black/ White printer colors, and if I wanted to use it I had to keep getting up plug in a wire to each and THEN PRint. No he didn't sell me a wireless Printer & I just wanted OUT of that Cramped Tiny Store! Luckily I found out later that he did me a Favour by telling me NOT to get the iPad since the 4 came out and it has the Cellular ( not sure on the 3?) but I also got $100.00 off thru my carrier who had a sale on ANY TABLET! So I got it shipped to me thru AT & T, & paid less! The SmartCase I got thru the Apple Store online & they offered FREE engraving( 2 lines) what a Mistake! You need perfect Vision to read it, it's so Tiny! No Font Choice, No Colour Choice & of Course No Font Sizing!! It's Literally this size!!( as the print on this!) why bother? I would have gladly paid for what I Wanted if I'd known! Now I want to return this one and get NO Engraving( and as U noted, find a Place to do it MY WAY!!) thanx for the note as it never dawned on me to do it that way( tho I never thought it would look so Badly either! Sorry for the long drawn out Saga, but I've complained to Apple Care on this also. I am still Appalled and its been 11 months!
