What's a Certified Refurbished Product?
Certified Refurbished Products are items that have been returned to the manufacturer for various reasons such as the box being opened before the product was sold, the item being returned by a customer, or the product having a cosmetic blemish during manufacturing. The manufacturer then cleans, performs a thorough inspection, and restores the item to like-new condition by making any necessary repairs and ensuring it meets all factory specifications. Although the item may contain cosmetic blemishes, it is otherwise in perfect working order.
What's the Advantage of Buying a Certified Refurbished Product?
The advantage of buying Certified Refurbished Products is that they offer great value, with prices typically much lower than retail. These products are also of very high quality, as they undergo a thorough inspection, making their return rate much lower than retail goods.

Do Certified Refurbished Products Come in Their Original Packaging?
