Holding period for items not picked in store (Apple Japan)

How long is the holding period of the store (in Japan) for those items not picked up within the day/designated slots before it goes back to stock? I’m planning to buy an iPhone in Japan but my flight is a bit late.

Generally several days to a week. But if you miss your appointment you generally have to go to the back of the pickup line.

Thanks for your response. Is it also applicable for Apple Stores in Japan? Planning to place an order (if there are stocks) a day before my flight.

This is a user to user only forum. We can't really know what Apple Japan retail stores policies are picking up ordered items. You should contact the store and ask them.


I'm guessing since you suggest you're flying in to Japan, you don't live in Japan? Why are you ordering an iPhone in Japan? iPhone Warranty is not International as Apple may limit warranty support to the country of purchase. It is ALWAYS best to purchase your iPhone in the country you live and will use it.
