Sales

Depending on your location, orders typically take 1-3 days to arrive.  You should get email notifications during the delivery process.

Service & Repairs

Due to the current circumstances we are only accepting service jobs with appointments only.  You may have to wait a little while if we are with someone but will be with you as soon as possible.

If your device has a current AppleCare or within the manufacturers warranty period, there are no costs involved.
Note:  This covers hardware specific failures only.  Software issues are not eligible and charges apply.

Devices that do not have AppleCare or are outside the  manufacturers warranty period, we charge a $99 quote and assessment fee.

All Mac and Mac Accessories repairs are done in-store.  The exception is iPhones. Depending on the issue with your iPhone depends if it is done in-store or sent off for repair. For example, if your phone has a cracked screen, this would need to be sent off site so that it can be calibrated correctly with a special machine.  If however,  your phone has an issue with a speaker or receiver, it may be done in-store if a modular part is available for your particular iPhone model.

For Mac, iPad including all accessories repairs

We typically aim to have your device back to you within 3 days or sooner. There are times however where we have an influx of work and some delays may occur.  Simply ask one of our team members on the day to see how the queue is looking.

For iPhone repairs

iPhones can take anywhere between 1 and 7 days.  As a general guide the time required for your phone to be returned to you is as follows:

Software update/restore: 1 day.
Modular part repair (e.g. receiver module): 1-3 days.
Cracked screen/Liquid damage: 3-7 days.

We understand that your phone is important to you.  If your phone still partially works and you can afford to delay your repair, we suggest making an appointment with an Apple Retail store as this will result being without a phone the least amount of time.

We recommend you do a backup of your device before heading in if possible to ensure all your photos and documents are safe.

If you are bringing in a Mac, it is best to use Time Machine to do a backup.  If your are bringing in your iPhone, then use iTunes or iCloud to backup your device.  If for some reason you cannot do a backup, please ask one of our team members for alternative options.

There is no need to bring in any keyboard, mice, power cords or cases.  Just your device.
