Where do refurbished products come from?
Products can originate from a variety of sources, including: Customer returns and cancelled orders – Fully-functional products that leave the warehouse and therefore can no longer be sold as new. Package damaged during shipment. Demonstration and trial equipment – Products have been provided to customers for demonstration purposes. Factory or reseller overstocks – Items that are returned by the seller to make room for newer product lines. Factory loaner equipment – Products that have been used for purposes such as trade shows, customer events, or solution centres and have been returned to manufacturer. Trade-in programs – Products customers have returned in order to upgrade to new technology. These products are not old, out-of-date machines. The only difference (besides their lower cost) is that these products have, for one reason or another, left warehouses and can no longer be sold as new.
