Just wondering, how can you prove this to Apple to get a refund?

[–] Kisunae@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait, so what time was this at and on what date?

[–] waaaghboyz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

People downvoting this are imbeciles lol

[–] Kisunae@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ha. The massive time/date stamp had me laughing. Couldn’t resist the sarcastic question. I guess others didn’t get the joke.

Downvoters are always imbeciles

[–] waaaghboyz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is the case yes

I feel the urge to make a John Cena joke, but I will refrain.

[–] darkspark88@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I always photograph or video myself opening high value opens delivered through the post. Just in case

rare picture of apple camo band

[–] Toltepequeno@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I ordered a band from amazon and got an empty, sealed envelope.

[–] detBittenbinder23@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I ordered a “like new” band from sold and shipped by Amazon and it arrived as a counterfeit in authentic Apple packaging.

I’ll stick with eBay from now on.

[–] Toltepequeno@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As bad as Amazon is I have had worse luck with ebay.

[–] detBittenbinder23@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah but eBay is usually good about dealing with products that are inauthentic. As long as they claim it’s real then eBay will have your back.

[–] Toltepequeno@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That’s true, they are good about it.

But I have had good luck with amazon also, they always replace missing or damaged. Maybe because we have prime.

[–] AR_Harlock@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What am I missing? I clearly see a white and gold strap in the package ...

[–] jiggsmca@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s blue and black!

[–] kduong89@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I present to you the badn new band that we designed to save our environment: invisible air band

[–] dimpledinks@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That looks used. The card that is meant to hold the strap in place isn’t perfect on the edge. Was the box sealed when you got it?

[–] Ryanbrasher@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Cool.

Tell Apple and you’ll get a replacement.

[–] DearNeighborhood7685@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Scammed you lol

[–] Tyler-Parrish@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I ordered a watch band from Target and took hours for them to finally give me a refund, and still had me pay shipping

[–] Hopeful-Tax7416@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looks like it was tampered before packaging. File a report and return for a refund.

[–] FatThor1993@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I messaged into Apple chat via iMessage. They gave me a refund and a $40 gift card for my trouble

[–] Fatbaldmuslim@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

As unpopular as this post may be I ordered a £5 orange loop from eBay and the quality is very very close to original at a fraction of the price, I wouldn’t buy a legit Apple Loop now and I say that as someone who owns the £400 stainless strap.

[–] salloumk@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Obviously didn’t leave the factory like this. Someone opened it and stole the band.
