What Happens When You Do Not Retrieve the Apple Repair You Authorized To put it in proper context: when repairs are performed through Apple, you have to know what not picking up your gizmo originally is going to mean. Consider these key points:
Notification Process
You will receive notification from Apple at your mailing address provided when it authorized the repairs. You will receive a notification to remind you to pick up your device as soon as servicing is finished.
Potential Damages and Costs
Apple reserves the right to take action on you for failure to collect your product This may include, but not be limited to, any costs of storing your device whilst this remains unclaimed. The actions are covered under Apple policy for unclaimed property, which gives the company the right to collect even if a debt is listed as dischargeable.
Abandonment Policy
Apple may deem the product abandoned if you do not install a system in 60 days of your device being ready. In these terms, they has authority to dispose of it or sell the same to recover any unpaid service fees23. This is why you should always communicate the bejesus out of Apple to find out what’s going on with your repair.
So, literal bottomline : if you don’t collect your repaired Apple thing, they have a right to charge you for it and even confiscate the device. Make sure you regularly check on your repair and respond to any notification from Apple soon as possible.
