What happens if I try to return a free, opened iPod?
I’d guess that after you redeem the rebate you cannot return it. The answers above don’t quite have it right. Apple sales policies: “If the item is returned unopened, in the original box, we will exchange it or offer a refund based only on the original payment method. Apple will mail a check within ten (10) business days for cash, cash equivalent, and check transactions over $250. Except where prohibited, a 10% restocking fee will apply to any non-defective item that requires Apple to perform rework prior to resale; please ask a Mac Specialist for details. Please note the following: Opened software, memory, and other media can be exchanged for the same item, but cannot be returned for a refund.
