I've had this mac since around December time so I've been very careful with my new purchase! I was just at my desk today when I realised there is small chip on the edge near the battery charger.
Is it worth calling apple about or will they not do anything?
Not sure what can be done, its just annoying considering its so new!

Aluminum bodies on MBP are strong. Unless you are seeing some mis-behavior in the MBP or unless it threatens to catch or scrape things, best to leave it.
Apple will not replace a small chip or even a major dent, as that falls into "misues/abuse/accident" (sorry for being technical).
If you can prove it came like that, you should talk to the store mamager.
But proving to the satisfaction of many managers is difficult, I woud guess.
Worth a try, but be prepared for "no", because the usual "return with no questions" period is 14 days.
You are a bit over the Apple 14 day return period. There is no way to tell if it came like that and even if it did you would of needed to see it when you took it out of the box. And then taken it back for a replacement.
Sorry but as Steve says Apple will do nothing for you as this falls under accidental damage, as far as Apple is concerned.
Even if it migh have come like that?
Makes sense though- I suppose there's no way of knowing whose fault it is...but for a 1 month old machine! Kills me.
Found a small chip on the corner of my new macbook pro- worth calling?
