i just tried to price an item, and every single time, the store would add an Airport Express to my order and add about 103CAD$ onto the subtotal. do you guys experience this??

weird. and there are no option anywhere to remove that item.

More info please - if you're ordering a PB - AP cards are default and just come with it. Pull it out and sell if you don;t need it.

Don't try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.

He's talking about Airport Express not Airport Extreme.
NOW YOU SEE ME! 2.4 MBP and 2.0 MBP (running ubuntu)

yea, AP extreme is included, of course, but they automatically add the AP Express base. and there's no option anywhere to remove it. on top of that, this is the canada stor, they're not supposed to have the AP Express yet. at least i couldn't find it on the list when i'm browsing. maybe this automatic offer is the only way to get AP Express in canada??

also, once it's added, during chckout, that item doesn't have a Product Number on it. if i add BTO stuff to the PB, i'm charged 103CAD$ for it, if i just checkout without adding anything, it's free. odd.

Can you give some links? I just went to the Canada store (even though I'm in the US), and what you are saying doesn't happen to me at all.

"Ordered" a powerbook and a G5 on the US store and those were the only things that ended up in my cart...

it's stopped doing it.

damn, i should've held back ordering a couple hours and avoid having to have the CS guys handle this manually. ah well.

or maybe it's cause i called twice to ask it removed.

it's been 3 hours and my status still says Order Received. is the delay caused by the glitch too?? the ONE day i'm ordering my machine, the store has to have a glitch.
