Killer Deals: $150 off iMac Retina 5K, $350 off Mac Pro, $40 off iPad Air 2, $30 off iPad mini 3, up

AppleInsider

For an extremely limited time, AI readers can take advantage of some truly killer -- and previously unseen -- deals including $150 off the just-introduced iMac with Retina 5K display, $350 off the entry Mac Pro, $150 off a 13-inch MacBook Pro and 3% off all other MacBooks. There's also a handful discounts on new iPads, iTunes Gift Cards, and coupons for up to $268 off HP printers.

48 Hour Exclusive Deals

To celebrate the kickoff of the PhotoPlus expo in NY this week, AppleInsider has teamed up with partner and Apple Authorized Reseller B&H Photo & Video to offer the following discounts on three key Macs in addition to the hundreds of other camera products already marked down for the expo.

The $150 discount on Apple's new iMac with Retina 5K display is especially notable given that the product launched less than two weeks ago. It requires that shoppers first click through the iMac 5K links in this article (or our Price Guides) and then manually apply Promo Code BHPPE14 in the field provided during the checkout process. As an added bonus, all orders from B&H ship tax-free unless their destination is within NY state, adding hundreds in additional savings to these discounts. These deals expire Monday 11/3:

Well, son of a batch. My Retina iMac just arrived arrived yesterday from Mac Mall (the first to have them in stock). Mac Mall would't match B&H's $118 price on the AppleCare, so I did buy that from B&H. I'll call Mac Mall to see if they'll price match, but I bet we already know what that answer will be. I could return it to Mac Mall and re-order from B&H, but that would involve time, effort, and shipping that would offset the $150 savings. I guess that's the price for being an early adopter.

We had it on our deal page earlier this morning. I'm sure we'll see it again sometime soon.

I figured that's what happened. They had this deal on Tuesday I believe.

Almost 24 hours, two emails, and eight phone calls later, Mac Mall finally agreed to match B&H's price of $2,349 for the base Retina iMac. They tried very hard to avoid price matching by not replying to emails, not returning phone calls, offering multiple combinations of cash refunds along with store credit, explaining to me that was a promotional price instead a regular price (duh - what does that matter to ME?), etc. Their final offer was a $100 refund and a $50 store credit. I told them I'd rather return the computer for a full refund and reorder from B&H if they were willing to sacrifice a customer over the last $50. The rep began processing a return authorization! I asked if they were really willing to lose a sale and a customer over $50. She finally "spoke with her supervisor" one more time and came back offering a refund of the full $145 difference. No voices were raised and no colorful language had to be used, but the level of customer service from Mac Mall seems inadequate based on this experience, which was also my first time buying from them. Ultimately, I got what I wanted but it took more time and patience than what I felt was necessary. This was a learning experience. Generally, I buy my Apple products from B&H, Amazon, or local retail stores (in order of preference). This buying experience gave me a sour taste of Mac Mall.  I had a bad feeling from the very beginning when they refused to honor B&H's price for AppleCare (which I ordered from B&H). They kept playing "meet me halfway" games like car salesmen. Thankfully, I LOVE the computer!

Do they actually have a price matching policy? I try to avoid those kinds of situations in general. You don't know what one retailer pays vs another for something, but in the case of B+H they're probably selling enormous volume on slim margins. I don't know if you've ever seen the place, but their store is enormous. I think they also have an additional warehouse.

B&H coupon still not working at 2:30 pm Pacific time.

According to this they do.

I glanced through that earlier and didn't see it. I wonder if they plan to rethink that in the future. B+H is extremely inexpensive on a lot of things, but they have a stricter return policy on a lot of items.
