Found this email from "USPS Mail Service" in my junk mail today
Tracking the parcel number on the website comes up with nothing, and trying to download the attachment in the email is denied by hotmail. stating there's a virus.

Just a spam mail, or legit notification from USPS?

Definitely spam

Have to second that HongLJ! Absolutely loving my Macbook Retina so far! biggrin.gif

Well this is what happened to me..

Since I was unwilling to order online due to the wait time (I need my Macbook before my Raya leave next week), I've been trying to find a seller with ready stock for the Macbook Pro Retina Display baseline model on the Garage Sale for 2 weeks but to no avail.

Just when I wanted to give up, I thought of trying on Mudah.my and the seller informed me that I'm in luck as he has one unit left. So when we met at the COD place, he said he made a mistake and actually the last unit is the 2.6Ghz & 512GB Flash Storage model (Retail RM8,699). Feeling devastated, I kindly said that I don't have budget for anything higher than the base model. Then he probably felt sorry for me for coming all this way, and he made a special case for me and offer me that Macbook Retina for only RM7,300.

After thinking about it for a few minutes, I decided to take up the offer. Honestly I did not believe that a little bit of speed bump on the processor and double the Flash Storage would warrant the big price difference so I was totally against buying it.. but I'm not really sure if its RM7,300..

Do u guys think I made the right choice by getting this instead of being patient and opt for Online Order?  unsure.gif

That's a good bargain actually, 512GB SSD costs a lot of money.

If you bought it online :
u wanted to buy base rMBP 2.3Ghz i7 with 512GB- u pay rm8499
u bought rMBP model: 2.6Ghz i7 with 512Gb - u paid rm7300

U saved rm1199. I iz jeles of ur purchase. (T T)

p/s may i know who that seller is? i wanna try my luck with him hehehe
