Who's "They?"

If they do offer an unlock service, why would you need to contact Apple to remove It?

Hasn't It already been removed via their service?

Understood.

I'm not aware of any method, but If they claim to offer an unlock service, there shouldn't be any reason to contact Apple to remove It. It's unlocked, so there's nothing to remove.

I have this other method I'm interested in since I have some experience with Amazon Warehouse, maybe you've come across such a method. So I drain the battery to 0 first. I then order same iPad from Amazon Warehouse. I simply switch them and return my iCloud locked one. So the workers don't have any way of charging the device and would overlook it since its low battery and they need time to for it charge in order to boot it. Would you think this method would work? I've switched a different VR headset before with this method from a cheaper one to a more expensive one successfully. Since it's coming from warehouse my thoughts again might be that they'll overlook it and see that the item is there and that it isn't broken but just needs a charge (very low red charge blinking icon on screen)

It's going to take some time to drain the iPad battery though because I'm stuck on the welcome screen in which I can't make it so that it doesn't lock or dim the display it's very limited right now. It took me 10-15 hours to get it from 100 to 74 so i'll keep on waiting
