For as long as I have shopped on Amazon, they have always had their normal 30-day return policy for Apple products. I noticed that this policy has been changed to 15 days, and wanted others to be aware.

Apple items now say, "This item can be returned in its original condition for a full refund or replacement within 15 days of receipt."

Not 100% sure where it needs to be posted since this isn't a "deal," but a lot of SD shopping is impacted given Amazon's standing as a retailer.

Dude, I returned 2 iPads SEALED in their box still since I took advantage of the target price mistake deal.

IT TOOK 2.5 MONTHS 9 chats, 3 emails, 6 phone call escalations begging them to give my money back before the 3 month chargeback window closed.

Never had this experience before ever. Something really shady going on at Amazon with apple products.

I will never, ever Buy another apple product at Amazon ever again. Only Costco or apple.com for me.

What Target price mistake deal? Could you elaborate? Just curious. Thanks for any info.

Another good reason not to buy overpriced crappy Apple products. LMAO

Nope. Still buying. Apple is awesome, and you can still take it back to the Apple Store if needed. There is a one year warranty on all Apple products.

Crappy? May be over priced by far from crappy.

I returned a $1000 Dell laptop and Amazon also required UPS pickup only and 30 days inspection time to refund

So this must be a new Amazon policy, and not exclusive to Apple

I've bought Apple products in the past and UPS pickup was required so the I know policy is not new like this 15-day return window is.

Quote from c2nah777 :
Thanks for the PSA.

Just informational:
SD has put this into the dedicated forum for HU/PSA info. "Consumer Awareness" placed under the parent forum "Deal discussion".

I suggest everyone subscribe to daily updates from this forum. Has been invaluable for info, and has saved/made me money.
We users lobbied for this forum for years. Very kind of SD to have established it a few years back. It typically generates no income for the SD site.
More awareness for us all. Applause

Thank you. I hope that by replying to this, more people who visit the thread will see it.

This is a 💯 PSA. I had no idea. Never buying Apple products from Amazon again because of this and the experience I had returning. Only Costco from now on!

Edit: seriously, which asshole downvotes a post like this.
