I don't know if it is the same charge or more for other items. Here is my story: So my Gen2 Ipod Shuffle Mp3 player stopped powering on awhile back and I decided to take it today to the Apple Store assuming they would take it to fix it or replace it. (It is still under warranty) I drove to The Domain location at noon and the 1st salesperson who I spoke to said they only take reservations to speak to a technician at the Genius Bar and the next reservation was at 2pm. I was confused and told her I have to wait 2 hours to get my $49 shuffle replaced or fixed? Why don't you just take it and call me when it is fixed. Then a different salesperson said why don't I just buy a new one. OMG. I had to literally pray a little prayer to prevent going postal and apeshit. So I called support and on the phone for an hour and they finally said they would send me a box so I could ship it to them and they would ship me a new one. But it would cost shipping/handling $29.

Another thing my friend didn't give me was a faulty shuffle. It worked fine for a month before the flashing lights. Hmm...I guess I am just stuck with no iPod at all.

I received a 4GB Ipod Mini used as a gift , but it was acting very strange, it was going crazy and turning off or just reseting any time i touched the click wheel, i checked the apple site and i found this ipod was still in waranty period, so i send it to an apple authorized service provider in my city (Im in Nicaragua-Central America) and in two weeks i had a brand new ipod with paying nothing.

By now you have to send your broken headphones back or pay $ 18 ! That isn’t true anymore. By now you have to send your broken headphones back or pay $ 18 !

I reported problems (twice with the clickwheel malfunctioning) and they would send me a box. Then, I would pack up my iPod in the box, send it back, and about a week later receive a "new" iPod. I'm not completely sure everything was new, but the casing definitely was. With headphones they'll simply send you a new set without you needing to return them.

Every time, the apple store has taken them back with minimal hassle (I still had to wait in line at the Genius bar, though). The last time my iPod died, I was in the middle of wiping my computer's hard drive, and I had everything backed up to my iPod. I lost a huge amount of data, pics, and music--I was pissed. I took it and my iBook down to the apple store, to demonstrate that I wasn't doing anything wrong--my firewire and USB ports and cables were intact, etc. They were extremely apologetic, and gave me a 60 gig video iPod. Too bad they couldn't recover my data. I’ve had four 40-gig iPods just up and croak on me.

I have learned that AppleCare on some of these machines can save you loads of time and money. When my G5′s gfx card died, Apple did exactly the same thing.

The delivery man drove over the box and ruined them. I e mailed the delivery company and they wanted me to get quotes for the repair, so I e mailed apple and they just sent me new ones 3 days later.

I've had to do it with PowerBooks and other iPod's as well, its just awesome that they're willing to support their products in the manner that they do. I :love: Apple support :D.
