Can I get a refund for a replacement MacBook Pro?

I recently recieved a replacement for my MacBook Pro 2011 for free since I had AppleCare. The new MBP is a Late 2013 Retina model. Admittedly, the Retina display is gorgeous, and the laptop is speedy, but...I'm not happy with it. I miss my CD drive, I miss my Hi-Res Anti-glare display, I miss all the extra ports, and I miss being able to upgrade/fix the laptop myself when necessary. So, I want to return and get a refund for the replacement, and then buy a refurbished 2012 model from the Apple's online Mac refurb store.
I was told by Apple support that I should be able to get a refund, but then they directed me to contact the actual store where I recieved the replacement. So I called the store, and they told me I cannot get a refund.
Who is correct, Apple Support, or the actual Apple Store? I am confused, and I don't want to be stuck with a MBP I don't want.

Call Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-275-2273.  Ask politely & firmly that you want to be transferred to Customer Relations.  Tell them exactly what you stated in your post.
GOOD LUCK!

  • Where can I get some feet for my 15" Macbook Pro (mid 2009) without the cost of A$200

    I am loosing my mind. Can anuone please help?
    I have a 15" mid 2009 Macbook Pro, that I love. It is my 6th Apple computer so it's not like I haven't contributed to the Apple estate.
    I use it for work and study so it pretty much runns continuously and has since its purchase in 2009. So, as you can imagine wear and tear are starting to show.
    3 of the 4 feet have come off and this is making me crazy. It does not ventilate properly and doesn't sit well on the desk. I have attempted to buy all manner of feet to fit it, but nothing works.
    So, I took it to my local Apple store a while ago in search of some replacement feet for it. Because, Apple have to inspect all repair jobs.
    I cannot buy, the feet alone, I must buy the complete bottom housing for it at the cost of A$199.00 (WHAT!!!, I HEAR YOU SAY!!!, and that is pretty much exactly what I said when I was told this by my apple genius (and yes, I did say Genius with a sarcastic tone), but certainly the thoughts that ran through my mind were far stronger).
    So, in my eternal search to make my perfectly working but incredibly annoying, beloved macbook pro be as good as ever, I have been to 2 "apple" dealers in the hope to buy this product at a cheaper price. Because, 1. I don't want the base, only the feet and 2. I don't want to pay 200 bucks for it.
    Anyway. the first purchase I made was through some dodgy chinese website. Apparently, there is no one at the other end, because all corespondense was ignored. But I did get my money back.
    But the second has really done my head in. www.applecomponents.com had advertised the part at $US69. So, I purchased and paid with paypal and all was well with the world. But, This morning I recieved the following email. And this is the entirity of the message from a business with obviously no customer service skill, not address, no phone number. Just a rude individual at the end of the email.
    Remember, this was the whole email...
    "so it's looking like this part was in the wrong bin. we don't actually have one. we can get new, but it would cost around $150.
    please advise?"
    ***? (and I am really holding back bolding that text and setting the font size to 68).
    In Australia, if a product is advertised at a price, that is what we pay for it.
    So, I re-check the website and the price has increase $100 but, it still says "in stock".
    Right about now, I am starting to get quite frustrated, with this faceless nameless person/company/shonk.
    I get in touch with some consumer experts and reply and I recieve the following reponse...
    "it was an honest mistake. we have a lot parts. we haven't sold one of these bottom cases for over 6 months. whoever labeled em' did it wrong. I don't have the part, but I have access to ordering it new with my vendor - hence the price change.
    feel free to call me anytime and we can talk it out.
    thanks
    phillip
    503-806-6423"
    (not really sure where this phone number resides so the 10 digits are useless)
    Now, Phillip is not the person I made the payment to. The payment was made to Alex Kraft.
    Who, After I demanded the product. Has just refunded my money and dissapeard off the planet.
    I am sick and tired of these shonks and it is now my mission to stop these people from trading.
    Sorry for my digression but, I feel, all should be aware of these people. Scammers.
    But, if anyone knows where I can get some feet from someone who will bloddy supply them at a price that is reasonable.
    Please let me know.
    Thanks

    your situation is not new.  Others have been told by Apple that they have to purchase the entire bottom panel in order to replace the feet.  There are engineering solutions that can solve this problem, but to pay nearly $200 to replace a part that costs less than $1 (I am being very, very conservative) to manufacture is too excessive.
    I have had the feet come off as well.  Fortunately for me, I have not lost them and have been able to replace them.  Why they cannot sell them individually is a puzzle to me.  Perhaps some bean counter at Apple feels its too much effort to have these items individually  in their inventory.  I have had nothing but good comments to say about Apple, but sadly this is an exception.
    To address your problem, I have seen second hand ones advertised on Ebay.  The price was a bit steep, $10 as I remember.  Other wise, wjosten's suggestion is the only alternative.

  • How can i get windows drivers for the 2013 MacBook Pro Retina?

    Hi there,
    today I have installed on my late 2013 MBP retina via the Boot Camp Windows 8.1. The installation was smoothly but some drivers are not present including the wifi driver.
    Through online research, I found out that in the current version of Boot Camp no drivers for the 2013 model are listed. Do you have one probably have an idea how to get it to run anyway?

    For feedback from experienced users,  post in the Final Cut Pro X forum here.
    They should be able to offer suggestions for training.

  • How can I get a refund for a book

    Can I get a refund for a book I purchased in iBooks? I did not like it, it was stupid and want my money back.

    Try using the Report a Problem link in your receipt.   I doubt just calling it "stupid" will impress anyone.  Best provide details on why it was not as advertised, etc.

  • How can I get a refund for unwanted app?

    My kids downloaded an extension of an app, made for kids, that cost $100. They thought it was free, until I got the bill. How can I get a refund for this and remove the app? This is wrong on so many levels, beginning with having a free app for kids luring them to a ridiculously priced one. Any help is appreciated.

    You posted in the Mac computer OS X Tiger 10.4 forum. You don't provide enough info. Was this an iPad app, iPhone app, an iPod app purchased from the iTunes store? Or an app purchased from another source?
    The remedy - don't give your kids the password and answer to security questions.
    If purchased from the iTunes store, there's a link on the invoice.

    How can I get a refund for an unwanted app that I just purchased?

    Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for a refund. Consider whether or not you want to do this now carefully first; if they grant one, you'll need a very good reason to get another from them.

  • How can I get a refund for a purchase made by a minor?

    how can I get a refund for a purchase made by a minor?

    You contact iTunes store support and plead your case. YOU are responsible for the security of your Apple ID and password. There are numerous mechanisms in place to make it easy to prevent unauthorized purchases. IF they agree to give you a refund, they will not do so a second time.

  • How can I get a refund for a product I don't want as its not performing the way I want it?

    How can I get a refund for a Mac APp store product I purchased which I dont want?

    Apple views sales as final. Have you contacted the developer about the issue that you have with the app?
    When the emailed receipt arrives you can start a conversation with iTunes/Mac App Store Support about a refund via the Report link.

  • How can I get a refund for a album

    How can I get a refund for a album I bought at the music store...If I can? Reason being I hit the wrong Buy button.
    Actually, I've had original CD already.

    Go into your itunes store account and click on purchase history. Click on "Report a problem" at the bottom of the page. If it was your last purchase it should be at the top and have a link that you can click on that says "Report A problem". Follow the steps the screen gives from there. This is not a guarantee that you will receive a refund (or store credit which is what they would give) but one of the options is "Accidently clicked Buy" or something to that effect. Someone should email you within 12 hours I believe (the screen will tell you how long after you submit).

  • How can I get a refund for an in app purchase I did not want?

    How can I get a refund for an in app purchase I did not want?
    The app took over $35 from my account and there is no way this was authorized.  Please advise on how I can recover these funds.

    They did the same thing to me on 12/24/11. Apple overcharged me 3 times my purchase amount and have caused my bank account to be overdrawn!
    I called my bank to make a statement of unauthorized charges AND filed a complaint with the FTC (Federal Trade Commission). Apple provided no way to contact a live rep and the email reps have been useless...so they left me no other option.
    I think they do this to their customers very often. It is extremely dishonest.
    I actually posted the above info on this discussion community earlier today...and Apple deleted it! If that isn't an admission of guilt, I don't know what is.
    But seriously...best of luck.

  • Can I get a refund for an unauthorized app?!

    Can I get a refund for an unauthorized app?!

    Bunny Shooter appears to have a number of in-app purchases available, for additional levels and features within the game. Make sure your kids didn't purchase a bunch of these from within the app before you start filing complaints. If they did, then the purchases are completely legitimate as far as the iTunes Store is concerned and no refund would be due to you, nor would there have been any sort of criminal activity nor fraud occuring.
    For the future, I'd strongly suggest you turn off In-App Purchasing and probably app purchasing completely, so that your kids can't make purchases that you aren't aware of.
    Regards.
