Does Apple Pay for Shipping on Returns or Exchanges?

Apple return policy states that you have to return products within 14 days after you purchased them. These 14 days return policy applies to products that been purchased from the apple store either physically or online. If you bought your apple product through a different retailer, you have to comply with their different return policies.

When returning the product, you should pack it in its original packaging with all the components that were included in the box like the charger and adapter. Some products may not be eligible for returns like those whose software has been opened. You can also not return a product in which you have upgraded the software or downloaded electronic software.

Other products that cannot be returned once purchased include Apple gift cards and print products. If your item had been personalized with custom engravings or custom-built for you, you cannot return it to Apple. The only condition under which you can return such an item is if it stops working due to a problem in its manufacture.

Apple does not accept items that have physical and water damages or those that stop working due to user negligence. The 14 day return period can be extended for up to 30 days if you have unavoidable circumstances that stop you from returning it in the first 14 days after purchasing it. If your device develops problems after 14 days, you cannot return it to Apple.

Items that become faulty after 14 days can be repaired by AppleCare because the items have a one year warranty. You can take your item for repair to an Apple store or mail the item back to Apple. For you to benefit from the Apple warranty, you should avoid trying DIYs on the phone because this will void your warranty.
