FedEx Apple discount
I used the deal a while back and got new iPhones. Anyone know if we get a discount on iPads? My wife's probook isn't good enough for her anymore and her life would be a lot easier to deal with if she had an iPad.
Thanks in advance!

3 weeks ago, the Apple store in Germantown told me no discounts on IPads for Fedex. So we bought my wife one from Best Buy in Southaven, and at least saved 2.25% on sales tax.

Welcome to the Apple Store - Apple Store (U.S.)
Its the same discount as pretty much every big corporation, 6 percent on hardware. Since the sales tax is so high in TN, it is not a good place to buy anything that is high priced. Same discount can be applied at any apple store with your ID. I know a lot of guys try and get a Portland overnight, since there is no sales tax in Oregon. I'm waiting for that thing to get a video camera for skype otherwise they are pretty cool!

As of a week ago, no discounts on iPads for anyone. Not students, military, employees, etc. I guess this is a common practice of Apple when a product is new and demand is high. So the best angle is to buy in a state with no sales tax.

I plan on using the link above to save the 6%. I'm a cheap ass. I'll surprise her for her bday (Oct. 7th).
Thanks again y'all.

Best Buy is a better deal on the iPad. Save tax in Southhaven and the BB service plan is better than Apple Care. If you drop the iPad and break the screen, BB will replace it.
Apple will shrug and tell you it isn't covered and then the little dweeb behind the counter will click his tongue and look at you like you are a buffoon for dropping it in the first place.
