Shipping from Apple to your door — from $70
The apple.com store requires an address inside the US, and that's all that stands between you and the US price and the release that drops there before anywhere else. The address is yours within a minute, and the device leaves our warehouse documented and photographed.
The two hurdles to buying an Apple device, and the way past each
Expensive devices deserve clarity up front, so these two matters are settled before you press Buy, not after the box arrives.
The order needs an address inside the US
Our warehouse address in the state of Oregon is a fully valid US address: enter it in the delivery field, the store accepts it and delivers the device to us, and its photo and serial number reach you in your account.
The built-in battery is governed by air freight rules
A battery inside the device ships by air with packaging and documentation we prepare for you ourselves. Only loose batteries are prohibited, and the details are under prohibited items.
A MacBook in its original box
The factory box with no repacking, to keep its seal intact, with a chargeable weight of 10 lb after measuring length, width and height.
From the Apple Store to your hands
Four steps — the longest is the one-minute sign-up, and everything after happens in the warehouse while you watch it in photos.
Claim your address
One minute gives you your Albany address and your own code, which is what you'll enter in the delivery details at Apple.
Complete the purchase
Order engraving or customization if you want it; the device reaches us just as the factory prepared it, with no difference and no delay on our end.
We inspect and document
We photograph the box and its serial number and enclose your invoice inside the shipment, and you see it all in your account before takeoff.
It flies to you
Choose Express for expensive devices, add insurance if you wish, and your tracking number reaches you from the very first moment.
Questions before buying an Apple device
The accepted voltage is printed on the charger itself and listed in the product specifications on apple.com, so check it before ordering — the difference may be just a plug, not a converter. If anything is unclear, message us and we'll look into it for you before you buy.
We handle it for you: we enclose the apple.com invoice and describe the device by model, serial number and value exactly as it is, with no inflating or understating, so the shipment passes through your country's customs with as little friction as possible.
Insurance is optional at $49 under the carrier's terms, and you add it at the moment you create the shipment — not before and not after. The full explanation of what it does and doesn't cover is on the Rates page.
