When I purchased my iMac several years ago, I carefully chose the pickup store, one in a very affluent Long Island town with a parking lot so I could roll right up to the store. No WAY was I picking it up in Manhattan and riding the subway with a large box proclaiming Apple iMac on it. I'd never have made it home with the computer, you can bet on it.
In big letters write WORK BOOTS on the box. nobody will ever bother you.
Oh ya north shore. Yep Thats what Id have done.
I was scrambling is right out of this Texan affluent mall straight home scenic route.
No mail order thats for sure
