After you’ve contacted Apple for service:

  • In Australia, you'll receive your replacement product by mail. You'll be provided with a link to a shipping label to print at home. You'll return your original product to Apple using the shipping label.

  • In Hong Kong, New Zealand, and Singapore, you’ll receive a kit by mail that contains a replacement product with everything you need to return your original product to Apple.

  • In Japan, a courier will bring your replacement product and collect your original product.

Returning your original product is not required if it was lost.

Important: If exchanging a product, return it so that Apple receives it within 10 days of the day your replacement product was shipped to you by Apple (check your ship date). If Apple doesn't receive your product within 10 days, or if Apple technicians find that your product has accidental damage or unauthorized modifications, you'll be charged the full value of the replacement product. For more details, see ERS terms and conditions for service covered by Apple's Limited Warranty or an AppleCare plan or ERS terms and conditions for out-of-warranty service.
