Refurb & Compatible Grades explained

Refurbished Certified (CPO)

vs Refurbished Pre-Owned grading:

First of all, all our devices are fully tested and guaranteed 100%. All are offered with a no quibble warranty for additional peace of mind. When buying used, do you generally receive a no quibble warranty? Probably not.. but we like to offer our customers the peace of mind they deserve. Whether its a Refurbished Pre-owned phone or laptop, or a Refurbished Certified Macbook or desktop computer, they are all warranted and guaranteed.

Refurbished Certified CPO are devices that have been rigorously refurbished to meet the same functional standards as per a new device. These devices are literally 'as new' and are mainly Ex-Demo units that have been repackaged directly by the manufacturer. 

Refurbished Pre-Owned are devices that have been used previously and sorted by quality. They are then tested, put through a series of stress tests, repaired and have parts replaced with new ones (if needed). These devices are all triple tested in-house by Apple Certified and Microsoft trained technicians to meet and exceed the mechanical expectation of a new device. The only flaws these devices carry are negligible cosmetic ones, like scratches or light abrasions.

For your reference we have listed our Refurbished, Certified (CPO) and Pre-Owned grades below with a few pictures so as to compare and know what to expect.

It is important to note that ALL these devices work flawlessly. These Grades are purely for cosmetic reasons. Pictures are for reference only. All items can be viewed directly in-store as stock becomes available.

Several different functionality tests are also performed on all the device components before advertising our units for re-sale. Keep this in mind when buying and comparing!

We systematically focus on our reduction in electronic footprint during refurbishment. The environment is our top priority.

Compatible Toners:

Our compatible Toners and Cartridges are guaranteed to work as well as any branded model, with no decrease in quality. For peace of mind, we also offer hassle-free replacements should there be any defects or problems with them.

The yield on these Compatible Toners and Ink Cartridges has been tested and found to give as many printouts as a branded one, if not more! The cartridge yield can be found on the boxes as well as online, which can give you a very clear indication of how much you are paying per page. You simply divide the cartridge yield by the price.

For example:

This example clearly shows how you are paying 1/3 less on a product that will give you the same amount of printouts at minimum. This applies to all the brands we supply; HP, Brother, Ricoh, Canon, Dell, Kyocera, Lexmark, Samsung, & Epson.

The problem with refillable Toners and Ink Cartridges is that they can damage your printer. Bad Ink Cartridges may seep out ink and cause problems to the internal mechanism and faulty Toners can discharge toner dust that will cover the internal components and paper.
We make sure to get only the best compatible units on the market, and can guarantee that your printer will not be damaged or harmed by them in any way. We are so sure of this that we are willing to offer you a printer replacement, should this ever be the case, no matter the model!
