Ever drop mad money at Apple and then have total buyer's remorse? Or maybe you just wanna flex with your new iPhone for the 'gram and then return it? 😉 Jk, don't do that. But here's the tea on Apple's return policy.
1. Apple’s Return Period: It’s a 14-Day Challenge!
Got 2 weeks to make up your mind. Other retailers like Best Buy or Target give you an extra day (15 in total), and Walmart's the real MVP with 30 days for Apple stuff.
2. Opened It? No Problem. 📦
Yup, Apple's chill with taking back open stuff within those 14 days. But hey, keep all those cords and booklets and stuff if you're planning on sending it back. Heard rumors about restocking fees? That's some overseas stuff. Not in the US.
3. No Receipt? No Problem, We Got Hacks. 🚫🧾
Apple's like Santa, always watching (through your email 😜). If for some wild reason you lost your receipt, just return it like it's a gift and you're good. You might score store credit or an equal exchange.
4. Holla-day Extended Returns. 🎄
Bought something between Nov. 1 and Dec. 25? You've got till Jan. 8 to decide if it's a keeper or not. So go on, test out those AirPods during your holiday workouts.
5. iPhone Returns ≠ Canceling Your Phone Plan. 📱
Returning your iPhone won't auto-cancel your phone plan. Hit up your service provider for that.
6. Returning Apple Watches? Same Policy, Mostly. ⌚
Unless you bought that bougie Edition collection. Those need to be pristine.
7. Bought From a Reseller? That's on Them.
Return to where you bought it. If you got it from Walmart or Best Buy, hit them up, not the Apple Store.
8. Some Stuff You Just Can't Send Back. 🚫
That includes opened software, downloaded stuff, some Apple swag, and other bits and bobs.
9. Sending Stuff Back Online? Totally Free. 📦✈️
No extra costs. Apple's got your back (and shipping fees).
10. Regretting That App Purchase? You’ve Got 2 Weeks! 📲
That trashy $0.99 game you thought was fun? Get your coin back within 14 days.
11. Price Drops and Your Wallet. 💰
On the rare chance Apple cuts prices within 14 days of your purchase, holler at them. They might just refund you the difference.
Alright, that’s the lowdown. Go flex with your new Apple swag, but remember the rules if you've gotta make a switcheroo. ✌️🍏🔥
