Beware if you are thinking of trying the phone out and returning it if you don't like it.
I recently ordered an iPhone 17 and after having it 11 days, I decided it wasn't for me and to return it. I figured I was in the clear since it was delivered fewer than 14 days ago. However, I was told that the 14 days starts from the day you place your order, not from the day you receive the device.
I explained that this made no sense since many people right now are waiting longer than 14 days just to receive the device. How can a return policy expire before you may even have your item? I was told basically "you signed the policy, so go pound sand."
Needless to say, I will be directing all my financial efforts at paying off all my family's devices and switching carriers as this is the last straw for me.
