Can I return AirPods if they don't fit in… - Apple Community
After 3 days of using them I went to the store to exchange them for the AirPod pros, they informed me that they don't take returns on AirPods, they did not inform me of their policy when I purchased them. Two years ago I purchased two open box AirPods from the same store, now they are saying that they don't take returns.

I bought AirPods Pro on 4th November, so the return window would have closed 18th November (Last Friday). I noticed Apple will be doing gift cards for Black Friday with AirPods (Up to £75, so probably £50 for AirPods Pro) which hurts having bought them so recently.

But I went to my orders page anyway, clicked "check return eligibility" and it's allowed me to open a return, and says I need to return them by 6th Dec. Will this actually get accepted or is this an extended window for sealed items?

r/airpods on Reddit: Airpods return policy - Costco vs Best Buy
November 15, 2024 -

Hi everyone,

I just picked up the airpods from Best Buy and was told that I cannot return if the box is opened due to hygiene. Although I understand this, I was quite surprised because many ppl here have mentioned that you can return.

Wondering if anyone knows if this is the same for Costco. Maybe I should return and buy it at Costco instead?

Thanks!

If you bought your AirPod Pro 3’s through the online Apple Store like me, and find you need to return them, take them to an Apple Store instead of mailing them back.

My 3’s were defective, so I initiated a return online, received a FedEx mailing label, and sent them back. Apple received them on September 25th, but the return has now disappeared from their system, and I’m jumping through hoops trying to get Apple to acknowledge the return and issue a refund.

I think their system has been overwhelmed, and hope that this post will help someone else avoid this issue.

r/applehelp on Reddit: Anyone know what the return policy on Airpods are?
July 13, 2018 -

Of course I'm going to wait till after Sep 12th to see if they get refreshed but I'm wary about their fit and comfort over extended periods as well as noise isolation.

Is it possible to purchase a pair at a bricks and mortar store then if they're not for me, return them for a full refund?

In the past I've been able to do it with iPhone cases from one of the main UK stores in London, that I've obviously used and not been happy with, but not sure how it extends when it comes to headphones and such?

They said because of the cost of the product, they needed to send UPS to pick up the item to be sure it doesn’t get lost or stolen.
