as you know, u can buy apple products via online from their malaysia online apple store. if you buy online, u are given an advantage of free engravement and free shipping. alltho u need to wait for about 1-2weeks you can engrave a personal message on your iPad for the same price! . so would u rather buy it from stores outside and get hold of your apple device instantly or wait 1-2weeks for the shipment.

Same thing you do when you buy from stores. Just take the product and take it to one of the apple resellers sweat.gif

Same with a lot of things right? You just have to trust them. Maybe they only assemble and package your box when you order?

Not really, depends on what you engrave. You don't put your name there lah, or your wife's name, or your girlfriend's name, or your dog's name... biggrin.gif

What do you mean a lot of thing? I only buy stuff sealed in the box. I see a lot of idiot people buy open box item in Malaysia. Not me. Lol

i bought my ipad2 yesterday via online with my name engraved on it. i lost my ipod touch during cheng meng back at my home town, no idea who took it. i suspect my cousins from hometown la because they never touched an apple product b4 and they got addicted the first day i lend it to them. so in future if he say he bought an ipod touch i also cant point fingers at him because there is no proof its mine . ):

there's pros and cons.....online ones u can have personalised item to yourself.....

however, since the ipad2 are so prone for the bleeding issue, i reckon u buy from retailers on the safe side.....if the bleeding problem is ur main issue, u can at least ask them to exchange for u.... but if it's an engrave one, hahaha....... u gotta live with ur engraved and bleeding ipad...

Dont worry, i think the worker who do the engraving already bore on their jobs, they wont bother to play around.
if it just happen, then i suggest quickly go buy lottery...lol

I don't engrave so the resale price is higher.. people won't want to buy something that has words they don't like engraved permanently on what they want.

I don't wanna engrave in case I need to resell it. Also another reason I ordered online is that our local Apple reseller don't have the unit for at least 2 weeks. X-(
