Hi All,

I recently had the screen come lose on my Apple watch on the 8th June 2020 I rang them to arrange for a repair, I was informed that they would be looking to Hold £506.44 on my card but this was not the amount I would be charged, being Apple I agreed and arranged for a collection, which has taken 10 days after they lost the item. I spoke to the support team as I was concerned that they had lost the item and that they would be sending me a new watch at £216, at this point I told apple support that I was original informed that before any repair was to happen I would be given the options and related costs, then I could then make an informed decision. I was told this was not the case and apple support would investigate. I then wrote an email detailing the conversation and all relevant information to Apple so as to keep a record also stating that I was very unhappy. This morning I have received an invoice from Apple for, that's right you guessed it £506.44 to send me a new watch, I checked the apple store where I can get a series 3 watch from £199 or a series 5 from £399, why would I pay more for an older product.....?

I have emailed Apple support again this morning to demand a full refund and that I don't want a replacement watch, they have informed me that I must accept the watch when it is delivered else I risk losing the money and the watch, can anyone advise how I get my money back?

thank you in advance.
