Send your original Beats product to Apple

2. Visit the courier’s website to schedule a pick-up or find a drop-off location.

3. If a commercial invoice was included with your replacement Beats product, attach it to the outside of the box. If you don’t, the package may not be able to be delivered. Commercial invoices are only required in some European countries.

Make sure you get proof of collection from the courier to confirm that you’ve returned your original Beats product. Apple isn’t responsible for any damage sustained during delivery.

Apple will release the temporary hold on your card after we process your original device and confirm that the issue is covered. If your original device is not returned within 10 working days or is found ineligible for service due to unauthorised modifications or severe damage, the hold will be charged to your card.
