I was a little confused about this title, because Apple have been doing that for years. But, ok. I got it. You go to the store and, instead of taking the product with you, they deliver it. It’s intelligent and easy. It makes no sense “if you want it delivered, you need to buy it online.”
Didn’t we have a pandemic and everything was delivered?
- This is about being able to go into an Apple Store and order something from a person and have it delivered.
  
  Previously if you wanted it delivered, you would have to go to the Apple.com store and order it.
This seems like a no brainer idea for being able to order in a store and get it delivered home. I just hope they don’t end up having no stock in the retail stores and force all orders to be delivered.

I personally will just order online if I want it delivered or if what I want isn’t in stock at retail. I only go in if it is for something that I can pick up right now.
Not great timing with UPS about to go on strike. I personally nearly always order online and then set to pick up in store since UPS is an absolute shitshow in my area.
- I’m presuming that that in-stock items will be couriered the same as online orders. My Apple delivery guy is also my Doordash guy.
