Free two-hour delivery is available in most U.S. and Canadian metro areas for orders placed through Apple's online store, until December 24. The items will be delivered from a local Apple retail store by a courier service such as Uber Eats at a time selected during checkout. Apple normally charges $9 for two-hour delivery.

Apple is also offering free three-hour delivery in Australia until December 24.

Apple's extended return policy remains in effect for the holiday shopping season. In the U.S., for example, most products purchased from Apple between November 8 and December 25 this year may be returned through January 8, 2025.

Sounds like a deal until the Uber eats driver steals your laptop and Apple says it was “delivered”.

Do not use this for expensive items. I had an iPhone go missing, which I never would’ve used this express shipping for if I knew it would be through some random uber eats driver…in the end Apple made it right but it took a while and a lot of hours on calls with them.

ya exactly what I was thinking. Now granted of course not everyone steals it but I'm sure it happens enough times to be weary of it

FYI there are a few horror stories on this forum where members have had their laptops not delivered and had to go through a massive battle with Apple.

Use at your own risk.

And yest where I am at I have not had issues with using this service since they started doing it, even for phones and macbooks and what not.
I’m sure 99 times out of 100, it will be completely fine.

But is it really worth that headache for 1/100 times? Not for me, anymore.
