It's important to remember to remove your iCloud account before selling your Apple device. We can't process orders containing Tech items that are still locked to an iCloud account, which will delay any payments.
If we receive a Tech item locked to an iCloud account, we'll send you an email with some instructions on how to unlock it remotely.
