Texas Best Buy sold him a paving stone inside a Macbook Pro box.

Ryan wrote that when he got home he opened the box and found a paving stone with bubble wrap, instead of the Macbook Pro.

The “Macbook Pro” was purchased at a Best Buy in Texas, the retailer is citing the problem as Apple’s responsibility rather than its own.

This is definitely as bizarre as it gets, Ryan still hasn’t gotten the mess resolved, but it is just so ludicrous that he’d be denied a refund. If anything most credit cards have consumer protection built in.
