We are seeing more and more refurbished products on Amazon. These includes laptops, phones, tablets to kitchen appliances and office equipment. They come with certification from Amazon giving extra layer of security to buyers. To be part of this, a seller has to meet Amazon’s strict performance standard and should follow following strict guidelines:
Products sold look and work like new
Refurbishment process includes diagnostic test, replacement of any defective parts, a thorough cleaning and inspection process, and repackaging where applicable
- All relevant accessories as expected for a new product should be included and it should give 1-year limited warranty
I had quick look in Laptop category to see the level of month sales and they are quite impressive. Checkout Amazon’s page for more details
