After you’ve contacted Apple about a replacement, you’ll receive a kit that contains a replacement product with everything you need to return your original product to Apple. 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 sent to you by Apple (check your dispatch date). If Apple doesn't receive your product within ten days or if Apple technicians find that your product has any accidental damage or unauthorised modifications, you'll be charged up to the full value of the replacement product. For more details, see terms and conditions.
