5 Factors to Check Before Buying a Refurbished Technology.
Should I buy a Refurbished Laptop?
Yes! Switching from Brand new tech to Refurbished is a perfect switch to make as you’re not only saving money, but you are also protecting your environment. When buying a refurbished computer some may think that the quality is being compromised due to the price difference being ‘too good to be true’. However, when buying refurbished from GigaRefurb the products you are purchasing have been 52-point system tested. Meaning they have been refurbished to the same quality as brand new. Which means our customers are buying tech at low prices without compromising quality!
What are 5 things to check before buying refurbished electronics?
Warranty.
When buying refurbished electronics, you should always check if the product comes with a warranty. Here at GigaRefurb we offer a 1-year warranty on all products. Our products are priced at unbeatable prices yet also include 1 year warranty and free next day delivery. You should avoid purchasing refurbished tech that doesn’t come with a warranty as although they are refurbished to the quality of brand new, there is a chance (like with brand new) that a problem may later appear! Is 1 year warranty not enough? You can upgrade to either 2- or 3-year warranty on GigaRefurb. Upgrade to 2 Year Warranty
Check the grading.
Checking the grading of products is important as it’s one thing being priced low and another if you get a mis graded product. On our website we have a detailed description next to each item which includes what grade they are. If it’s, one specific grade you are after then you can also filter the grading! If you are not familiar with the grading, you can ring us on 0161 553 0117 and we can provide you with images etc. You can also scroll down on each product and view our grade board.
Check the company Return Policy.
It is always a good idea to check the return policy as if you are for whatever reason not happy with your product that you can return it. Here at GigaRefurb we have a 14-day return policy. Meaning we will refund you the full amount minus postage, after these 14 days we will be unable to refund you any amount however we still repair or replace items under the 1-year warranty.
Check the company Accreditations and Certifications.
One way to get a more in-depth view of the company which you are thinking of buying from is by checking the company accreditations and certificates. This way you can see if they are legitimate. Here at GigaRefurb we are Microsoft registered and a Crown Commercial service. We also meet the ISO standards and have certificates from them to prove this.
Check the company reviews.
To get a good overview on the company you are buying your refurbished tech with you should check their reviews on websites such as Trustpilot. This way you can read through past customer experiences whether that is good or bad. GigaRefurb have 4 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot!
How to know if the laptop you are purchasing is right for you?

For example, if you are purchasing a laptop for video editing/ photography you will be more suited to a laptop with more storage and memory to handle the larger amounts of work. You may also prefer a laptop with top-notch visuals for seeing detail. Secondly you should read up on different brands as this way you may find out new facts, this can help narrow down a laptop best for you. Finally, if possible, visit a shop which sells the laptop you are after so that you can see the laptop in person, this will help you knowing the weight, size and running of the laptop and hopefully be the step which helps you find the one best for you.
