Requesting a refund

Hello,

I made an apple store purchase that didn't work and I made a refund request.

I received a notification that the funds were returned to your account, but unfortunately this did not happen.

How do I proceed further?

When will I get the money back? -

If your refund is approved, the funds are applied to the same payment method that you used to buy the item. Here's how long it takes for a refund to appear on your account or statement:


• Store credit – It might take up to 48 hours to see the refund in your Apple ID balance.


• Mobile phone billing – It might take up to 60 days for the statement to show the refund. Processing time might be affected by your carrier. You can contact your carrier for an update.


• All other payment methods – It might take up to 30 days for the statement to show the refund. If you don't see the refund after 30 days, contact your financial institution.
