What are refurbished items? Is it safe to spend my money on them?
We are here today to clear things up on some of the myths that circle around refurbished products.
Refurbished items are different from used items. They are NOT easily broken or just someone’s piece of used up junk sold at a lower price. Instead, refurbished items are items that were returned by the customer for some reason and the seller can no longer sell the item as brand new. Sometimes, there’s really nothing wrong with it but the buyer wanted to return and ask for a refund, unfortunately, the seller can no longer sell the item at its original price and so it has to be offered at a lower price. If however, there were anything wrong with the item, the seller will then fix it then sell it as refurbished.
Refurbished electronics are just as good as new ones. In fact, one of Microsoft’s partners conducted a test using brand new and refurbished PCs, wherein few people were asked to surf the web and perform other tasks on each PC. The participants were not told which computer was brand new and refurbished. The result showed that the participants couldn’t tell the difference between both PCs.
Another misconception would be that refurbished items only have a short lifespan and are not powerful enough. The truth is that refurbished items are reconditioned to work for a longer lifespan and for heavy use as well.
We’ve gathered around some of the reasons why a buyer would return an item even if it was perfectly fine and reasons why items are sold as refurbished:
1. Incorrect product size or order
2. The product does not match the description on the website
3. Shipping or exterior damage such as minor scratches or dents
4. An opened box
5. Demo units used at a trade show or retail shows
6. Item arrived too late and the buyer doesn’t need it anymore
What are the things to look for before purchasing a refurbished item?
1. Warranty - other sellers offer only a 90-day warranty, but it would be better if you could get a whole year warranty to ensure that you get what you paid for in case something happens.
2. Return Policy - It would be best if you can return the item if you found any problems with it or if you are not happy with your purchase.
3. Product accessories - Since refurbished products are just the same as brand new products, it would only be fitting to get whatever comes with the product when buying a brand new one. Make sure that you can still get accessories such as chargers, manuals, software and etc.
