Apple products Purchased through Amazon/Flipkart

If i purchase an iPhone through a amazon/Flipkart and the seller sents a defective or refurbished item. They ask us to get in touch with Apple store for any resolution/replacement. In any such case does apple store actually help or provide a replacement?

Since Flipkart is NOT an Apple Authorized Seller, they could not possibly sell you a refurbished phone which was refurbished by Apple. Amazon has excellent return policies. If you are not happy (I certainly wouldn't be), start the return process with Amazon.


If you want to buy an Apple Refurbished device which is actually refurbished by Apple and warranted by Apple, you should buy one for Apple.
