Can someone confirm if this is true? If order online and return within 14 days, there's no 100% refund?


Purchased Directly from Apple Online Store (Singapore)​

Unlike Apple's policy in countries like the US or UK, Apple Singapore imposes restocking and open-box fees specifically on iPhones and iPads:

  • Opened Box: A 25% open-box fee is deducted from your refund.
  • Unopened/Sealed Box: A 15% restocking fee is deducted.
  • Return Window: You must initiate the return within 14 calendar days of receiving the item.
100% refund

I bought an iPad mini 7 from Apple Store Orchard and returned it. 100% refunded.

Ok mystery solved.

I just called Apple Support (Sales) and they confirmed the above is only applicable for BULK purchases.

For single purchase be it online or physical store, it's 100% refund even if the box is opened.

I asked the Apple Store staff on this question and also got the same answer. If the returned item was genuinely for personal use then no restocking fee. That clause should be to discourage flippers from returning items which they can’t offload.
