Apple ship-to-store begins in San Francisco

Online shoppers in the San Francisco area will see an option during checkout that'll let them select a store instead of a home address for shipping. The item will either be available the same day if they purchase a standard product normally sold in Apple stores, or in a few days if they choose a custom configuration. Customers will need an ID to pickup their product, but an earlier rumor suggests they can designate another person to do the pickup for them. This same program will supposedly have the added convenience of letting customers return online orders to the store as well.
