Update: Refundable again after relisting—JD.com's 7,999-yuan Apple iPhone Duo early-bird benefits package was taken down after some consumers complained they could not get refunds
The reader’s brief
The headline price refers to a benefits package, with the phone bought separately. The article also contains a later refund update, so the original non-refundable description alone gives an incomplete picture. For an English reader, those two distinctions matter more than the promotional label “early bird.”
IT Home covered complaints about a RMB 7,999 iPhone Duo early-bird benefits package sold on JD.com. The original October 14 report said it was limited to PLUS members and bundled services and accessories, while the phone itself still had to be purchased at full price. Buyers questioned the separate charge and an initial restriction on refunds; the package was subsequently removed from sale.
The article carries an important update from 22:16 on October 14: the package was relisted and could be refunded. Readers should distinguish that correction from the earlier complaints. The reported price was for the benefits package, not the handset, and the account does not establish the current terms of every listing.
