I got my apple kit box on Wednesday. It says have 14 days to ship from receipt of new phone.

Uh. I only got the kit not though so why would I have less time.

Anyone have experience in returning phones and dates?

You don’t have less time than anyone else. Everyone who is shipping their old phone back to Apple receives the trade in kit a few days after receiving the new phone. In my case, I received the new phone on 9/21, the trade in kit on 9/25 (4 days after receiving the new phone due to the weekend), shipped the trade in kit back to Apple on the same day, and received an email on 9/27 that my trade in was complete (6 days after receiving my new phone). 14 days is plenty of time.

It was a question. Not sure they count weekends. I'm shipoing mine tomorrow. Gets there Wednesday so I'll meet the cut off of Friday.
