Apple Store Purchase Policies

Returns

If you are not satisfied with your purchase, return it with the original receipt and original packaging within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date of purchase. If the item is returned unopened, in the original box, we will exchange it or offer a refund based only on the original payment method. Apple will mail a check within ten (10) business days for cash, cash equivalent, and check transactions over $250. Except where prohibited, a 10% restocking fee will apply to any non-defective item that requires Apple to perform rework prior to resale; please ask a Mac Specialist for details. Please note the following:

  • Opened software, memory, and other media can be exchanged for the same item, but cannot be returned for a refund.
  • Custom-configured products, including any personalized iPod, cannot be returned or exchanged.
  • Purchases made using a lease are subject to the terms of your lease agreement and cannot be returned.
  • Non-Apple products are sold by Apple "as is." Consult the manufacturer for warranty terms and conditions.
  • Products can be returned only in the country in which they were originally purchased.

Purchase Orders

Purchases made using a purchase order are subject to "Net 30" terms.

Pricing

Should Apple reduce its price on any Apple-branded product within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date of purchase, you may request a refund of the difference between the price paid and the current selling price. An original purchase receipt is required, and you must request your refund within fourteen (14) calendar days of the price reduction.
