Return Items
If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, in addition to your rights as a consumer under the Competition and Consumer Act and other applicable Australian consumer protection laws and regulations, you may also be eligible to return the item for a refund under Apple's Sale and Refund Policy (as described below).
To return an item, please visit online Self Service for assistance 24 hours a day, or call 133-622, Monday - Friday 8am to 6pm.
Standard Return Policy
Returns are subject to Apple's Terms and Conditions. For iPhone returns, please refer to the iPhone Return Policy section below. For eligible products, you have up to 14 calendar days from the time you receive your item(s) to initiate a return.
Note: Apple Store Gift Cards are not eligible for return.
iPhone return policy
If you are not fully satisfied with your iPhone purchase, you can return your undamaged iPhone to the Apple Online Store within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. Please visit online Order Status or call 133-622 to request a return. The iPhone must be returned in the original packaging, including any accessories, manuals, and documentation. Please note that returning your iPhone pursuant to this policy will not automatically cancel your mobile network agreement. You must contact your mobile network operator to cancel your mobile network service. If you cancel your mobile network service, you will be responsible for all applicable usage fees, prorated access charges, taxes, surcharges, or other charges imposed by your mobile network operator through the termination date, including any early termination fees or penalties, if applicable. Please contact your mobile network operator for more information about applicable fees.
Online returns process
You can initiate a return online once your item(s) have been shipped and invoiced.
- Go to online Self Service
- Sign in with your Apple ID and password. If you have questions about your Apple ID, please visit the Your Account section of online Help.
- View the order details of the order containing the item(s) you would like to return
- Select the "Return items" link.
Note: If you need assistance or do not have an Apple ID, please call 133-622.
Items in your order will be divided into two groups - items that are eligible to be returned online and items you cannot return. For each item that you can return online, you will need to select the item, a reason for return, and whether you've opened the box.
Once you've submitted your return request, you'll receive an email confirmation with your return details. Our carrier will contact you within two (2) business days to arrange collection. Please use the original packaging.
Once we receive the item(s) we'll process the return, issue a refund, and send you a return receipt confirmation email.
Refund methods
Your refund will be issued after we receive your item(s) at the Apple returns centre. The way your refund is processed depends on your original payment method.
- Credit card refunds will be sent to the card-issuing bank within five (5) business days of receipt of the returned package. Please contact the card-issuing bank with questions about when the credit will be posted to your account.
- For cheque/money order/ direct deposit payments, you will need to provide us with the following bank details:
Account Holder Name:
Bank Account Number:
Bank Name:
BSB:
Please note that refunds can only be remitted to a local bank account where the Bank Account Holder name is the same as the Billing Contact filled in when placing the order. Please allow up to 10 days business for Apple to post the refund to your account. - If you paid by Apple Store Gift Card, refunds will be sent via an Apple Store Gift Card by Email within 3 business days.
