Engraving is only exclusive online, since at an Apple Store they would only give you AirPods that they already have in store. No Apparently if u want engraving it must be done online.

No, you cannot. Engraving is available only when you order through the online Apple Store. Otherwise, you’ll need to take the iPad to an engraving shop. Think carefully before you have an iPad engraved.

Very often, if your device is both serviceable and in good condition, you’ll get a much better value if you sell your iPad privately than adopting the trade-in path. It follows that personalised engraving makes the iPad much less attractive to potential purchasers.

Apple says that engraved products are still eligible for delivery within a couple of days, but we find from experience that they can take a little longer. If you’re looking to get your hands on a new device the day it comes out, then we recommend opting for the version without engraving.

While wait times for shipping the iPad dropped to Apple’s typical “within 24 hours” back in August, opting for an engraving will add a slight delay of between one to three days.

Question: Q: returning engraved products These items cannot be exchanged in store; they can only be returned and your refund will be issued to the payment method you used on your order (per the guidelines in our Standard Return Policy).”

There really is no downside, the engraving is free, except if you have Apple laser-engrave them, it is done at the factory in China (you can’t buy one at the local Apple Store and have it done) so may add a week or two delay in their arrival.

When purchasing AirPods or AirPods Pro via the online Apple Store, selecting “Customize it for free” will bring up the option to engrave the product. Engraving a product may take longer to ship to users, and any engraved device cannot be returned for a refund.

Yea I just ordered mine with engraving the delivery time without engraving was 9-11 days, but with engraving it increased the time to 14-16.

If you are buying AirPods 2, Engrave the case with your contact details e.g. Email or Phone Number, Incase you lose them and can be contacted.

If you’re purchasing a pair of AirPods and want to add an emoji to the charging case, here’s how to do it:

1. Navigate to the AirPods product page on Apple’s website.
2. Then press the “Personalize it for free” option.
3. Choose the emoji you want to add to your AirPods case and hit “Save.”

No, it’s free, but it does mean, if you have it shipped, it’ll take a few days for the shipping to even start, so you’ll be without them for longer. No, its totally free !

One other thing, if it’s just the case you’re after, say if you’re upgrading from charging case to wireless charging case, even Apple doesn’t offer engraving for the case on its own. Amazon has $15.01 off, that’s $234.98 instead of $249.99. You can buy here, though stock sold very quickly, so you’ll have to wait.
