Q: Do these come with documentation? Seeing a lot of reviews saying they did not receive correct product or that the warranty was already used. How do I know that won’t happen to me when purchasing through Target?
A: Hi ginabina, thanks for reaching out about Apple AirPods Max. It's completely understandable to be concerned when you see reviews like that, especially for a premium product like the Apple AirPods Max. Let's address your questions directly and then discuss how to protect yourself when purchasing from Target. Do Apple AirPods Max come with documentation? Yes, new Apple AirPods Max come with documentation in the box. This typically includes: A quick start guide Safety and warranty information Other regulatory pamphlets While Apple increasingly relies on digital user guides, you will still receive some physical documentation with a brand new, sealed product. How to know you won't receive an incorrect product or one with an already used warranty when purchasing through Target: This is a valid concern, and it largely boils down to the retailer's practices and your vigilance as a consumer. Here's what you need to know about Target and how to protect yourself: New vs. Refurbished/Open Box: Always ensure you are buying a "New" product. Target (like other retailers) sometimes sells "refurbished" or "open box" electronics. These are often cheaper, but they come with different expectations regarding packaging, condition, and warranty. The reviews you're seeing about incorrect products or used warranties are much more common with refurbished or used items. Carefully check the product listing on Target's website or the packaging in-store. It should explicitly state "New" if you're expecting a brand-new, sealed product. Target's Return Policy for Apple Products: Target has a specific, shorter return window for Apple products: 15 days from the date of purchase or delivery. This is crucial. Act quickly: As soon as you receive your AirPods Max, inspect them thoroughly and connect them to your Apple device. Upon Receiving Your AirPods Max (Crucial Steps): Inspect the packaging: Is the seal intact? Apple products come in very specific, tight plastic wraps and seals. Look for any signs of tampering, tears, or re-sealing. Does the box look new? No scuffs, dents, or signs of previous handling. Does the serial number on the box match the serial number on the headphones (check under the ear cushions)? Connect and Check Warranty with Apple: Immediately pair your AirPods Max with an iPhone or iPad. Go to Settings > Bluetooth, tap the "i" icon next to your AirPods Max. Scroll down to "Limited Warranty" or "AppleCare+". Verify the coverage end date. For a new product, the warranty should start from your purchase date and extend for one year. If the warranty date is incorrect (e.g., it shows as already expired or ending soon) or if it shows "Service and Support Coverage Expired," this is a red flag. Check "Find My" status: After pairing, open the "Find My" app on your iPhone/iPad. Your AirPods Max should appear there. If the AirPods Max are still linked to someone else's Apple ID (which can happen with poorly refurbished or returned units), they won't fully function with your "Find My" features, and you'll see a message indicating this. This is a very strong sign you received a previously owned unit. What to do if there's an issue: Document everything: Take photos of the packaging, serial numbers, and any relevant screens on your Apple device showing incorrect warranty dates or "Find My" issues. Contact Apple Support FIRST: Explain the situation (e.g., "I just bought these new AirPods Max from Target, but the warranty date is incorrect/they show as linked to another account"). Apple can verify the serial number and often adjust the warranty start date if you provide proof of purchase (your Target receipt). If Apple cannot resolve it, or if it's clearly a previously used/incorrect product, contact Target immediately. Refer to your purchase date and their 15-day return policy for Apple products. Be firm and show them your proof of purchase and any documentation from Apple. Why these issues occur: Returned items not properly reset: Sometimes customers return Apple products, and retailers (or their refurbishment partners) don't properly unlink them from the previous owner's Apple ID or reset the warranty status with Apple. "Gray market" or counterfeit products: While less likely at a major retailer like Target, it's always a possibility if the deal seems too good to be true or if the packaging is off. Refurbished sold as new: A product might be mistakenly categorized or shelved as "new" when it's actually a refurbished unit. By being proactive and checking these details immediately upon purchase, you significantly increase your chances of having a smooth experience with your new Apple AirPods Max from Us or any retailer.
