Nope, "sorry we don't sell parts, you have to make an appointment at the genius bar," said the drone in the red apple store shirt. Apple also couldn't seem to get its act together to ship a replacement battery that my wife ordered online. She ended up getting faster satisfaction from an aftermarket supplier.

I like the products (on my iPad right now, use iTunes, apple tv, etc), but for us the after sale service has been poor.
Well, I am in Texas. The difference might be a Texas/New York thing...
