Myths to dispel about refurbished products
You will certainly have heard of refurbished ones, these are all those semi-new devices that come
put back on the market at a discounted price compared to their original selling price.
If for many they represent a real deal, the ideal investment to always have new or latest generation products in their pocket at a competitive price, for others they are unreliable and unsafe products.
Despite the widespread use of this purchasing method in our country, refurbished products are still mistaken for second-hand goods and treated with distrust. For this reason today we will try to answer the questions of the most skeptical users, dispelling the myths in circulation about refurbished or "refurbished" devices.
A commonly misconception is that refurbished devices are second-hand or used products. We had already discussed it previously, a "refurbished" device is a product that has been returned to the supplier and, since it has already been discarded from the appropriate packaging and started by the user, even just once, it can no longer return to the catalog .
We know well that returns can have various reasons behind them, not necessarily linked to a fault. In the event that a device with a malfunction is returned, it will be reset to factory settings , tested and put back on sale . In fact, refurbished ones guarantee high performance, like their own non-reconditioned models. A refurbished product has no purchase guarantee
False. When we buy a refurbished electronic device we are aware of the conditions that device is in at the time of purchase. The technical descriptions and some letters representing the so-called "degree of wear" come to our aid. If we accept the conditions of a smartphone or a PC , upon finalizing the order we will not be able to enforce the guarantee in the future due to defects of which we were already aware.
In the event that there are malfunctions other than those we were already aware of, it will be possible, in relation to the degree of wear and the conditions of sale of the site, to take advantage of the guarantee of our product. 3. How long can a refurbished product last before it breaks down?
Especially those who are looking for a new smartphone , when evaluating refurbished cell phones , will inevitably be inclined to ask themselves: how long will it last? The main concern in this case is the battery or other technical aspects. Although these are all legitimate doubts, unlike a second-hand purchase, refurbished ones are repaired with original parts and tested directly in the factory. In this regard, you will often hear about phases and control points, i.e. those steps that are necessary for a remanufactured product to be reliable.
Not to mention that on many occasions, during the purchase, it is possible to add a further warranty extension to the cart.
Among the most sceptical, the idea that refurbished products are counterfeit , at best, is very deep-rooted. In reality, refurbished electronics does not only boast "cheap" products. It all depends on how inclined we are to "settle" by purchasing one model rather than another and on the warranty levels (A, A+, B, etc.) in which a device is found.
The risk is real when you rely on private individuals , suppliers or platforms that do not offer transparency and guarantees on their refurbished products.
Thanks to the advent of social media and the sharing spirit of users willing to leave their feedback after a purchase, the risks are slowly fading.
