Ryan, a fellow customer Paid over $2000 for a MacBook through Best Buy and then Recieved a Brick inside the Apple MacBook Box.
Ryan bought a MacBook Pro from Best Buy in Texas. The Retailer has said that it’s not his but Apple’s Mistake. The buyer has not sorted out the matter with either Apple or Best Buy.
He Say’s –
When I got home I opened the box and found a paving stone packed with bubble wrap, instead of the Macbook Pro.
I returned to the store and the manager, “Keith”, was not too willing to help me out. He kept falling back on the line “Apple seals the boxes, not us. Take it up with Apple.”
I have sent an email to Best Buy corporate and have contacted my credit card company. Unfortunately, they can’t do anything until the charge posts.
So right now, I paid $2164.89 for a very nice red brick.

As ludicrous as it sounds, it does happen. I once drove home at lunchtime to find a delivery driver outside my house. I didn't get out of my car and called him over. He handed me the parcel he was delivering and I signed for it.
I'd ordered an expensive necklace.
When I opened it, later, the presentation box was completely empty. How do you prove something like that? You can't.
I rang the company and explained the whole thing to them. They refunded me immediately.
I think it wasn't the first time they'd seen that problem!
