Nowadays, hardware is almost impossible to keep in stock. The demand for computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones has skyrocketed since the pandemic. In addition, there is also a
significant chip shortage. The production of new computers, laptops, smartphones, and other hardware is often on hold. Even Apple itself has experienced delays in the delivery of most Apple products due to this chip shortage. Fortunately, we are not entirely dependent on new products, as there are also plenty of refurbished products on the market.
Refurbished is actually a better choice! Below, we list the main advantages of
refurbished products for you.
1) Refurbished is always immediately available
Refurbished hardware is always available, unlike new hardware. Due to the chip shortage, order waiting times can significantly increase. This means that if you want the latest iPhone 13, you may have to wait longer for your order. This can be frustrating if you need your device quickly because your old device is broken. With refurbished hardware, you won’t have this problem. All devices listed in our webshop are immediately available. This means that orders placed on weekdays before 10:00 p.m. are delivered starting the next day. You can therefore receive your order as early as the next day, except on Sunday and Monday.
2) Refurbished is reliable
Many people think that refurbished products are unreliable and that quality is sacrificed for a lower price. This is simply not true. Refurbished devices are checked on
more than 50 points. Additionally, most of our products carry the
Refurbished Quality Mark logo. Only companies that are financially stable are allowed to carry this logo. Furthermore, we are audited annually with a technical audit by TÜV Netherlands. They test for safety, quality, reliability, and environmental impact through certification, inspection, CE marking, and training. We are so confident in our quality that we offer a
two-year warranty on all our products! So, you are buying a product that will last at least two years or longer.
3) Refurbished devices are up to 70% cheaper than new devices
A major advantage of refurbished is that it is much cheaper than new. The percentages do vary, sometimes you can get a 40% discount, but you can also get up to
70% off! Of course, it also depends on which product you buy and in what
condition you buy it. Products in
like new condition are naturally more expensive than products in
lightly used condition.
4) Refurbished is a sustainable choice
By purchasing a refurbished device, you contribute to a
cleaner environment. Since products are reused, fewer new products need to be produced. This saves a lot of CO2 emissions, and fewer materials like gold and ore need to be mined. Moreover, the e-waste pile is not made any bigger, which means less CO2 is emitted.
5) Choosing refurbished gives you the widest selection
If you want to buy a new device, your choices are limited to only a few models. If you choose refurbished, you have a wide selection of models from different years! For example, at Apple, you now only have the option of a MacBook Air 2021 with 256GB SSD storage or 512GB SSD storage. In our refurbished webshop, you have a choice of
MacBook Air from 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and the MacBook Air M1 2020. This is, of course, true for all other categories. At Apple, you can choose between the iPhone 13, 12, 11, and SE 2020. With us, you can choose from
iPhone 7, 8, SE 2020, X, XR, XS, 11, and 12. Many people prefer an older model because the prices of the newest devices are high. Additionally, technological developments are no longer advancing as quickly as they used to. As a result, you can get by just fine with an older model!
