iPad Express Replacement Service

Express Replacement Service is a benefit of your AppleCare+ coverage. We can send you a replacement iPad before you return your product to us. We'll include packaging to return your damaged or non-working product.

Contact Apple to make an Express Replacement Service request.

Check your service and support coverage

If you order Express Replacement Service through your AppleCare+ plan, there’s no fee for the express delivery. Any fees you might pay will be for the replacement iPad. 

Some issues might be covered under the Apple Limited Warranty, AppleCare+ or consumer law, in which case there’s no fee to replace your product. If your iPad has accidental damage, you’ll pay an AppleCare+ service fee, as shown below. 

If you’ve already used both incidents of accidental damage that come with AppleCare+, you’ll pay an out-of-warranty fee for your replacement, as shown on our pricing page.

See Express Replacement Service Terms and Conditions

We’ll send your replacement iPad with shipping materials and instructions. Your replacement will have factory settings. Return your original iPad to us within 10 business days of your request to avoid paying the full replacement value.

Before you return your iPad to us, make sure to back up your data and prepare your iPad for replacement. Your replacement device will not have your data on it, and you'll need to restore that data from your backup.

Read the Apple privacy policy

When you request Express Replacement Service, we put a temporary authorisation on your credit card to cover the full replacement value of your product. This authorisation will expire if:

• Your repair is covered under warranty, AppleCare+, or consumer law
• We receive your original product within 10 business days.
• Your original device does not have severe damage or unauthorised modifications.

When we send you a replacement iPad through Express Replacement Service, you need to return your originally purchased iPad to us within 10 business days. After 10 days, we'll charge you the full replacement value. 

If we receive your iPad and find that it was severely damaged in an accident, or it's inoperable after unauthorised modifications, you'll pay the full replacement value.
