What is refurbished and what is pre-owned?

We offer both pre-owned and refurbished products in our online store. While a large majority of our products are pre-owned, having been tested and cleaned only, without any repairs or alterations, our refurbished Apple products complete a thorough process that includes full testing that meets the same functional standards as new Apple products. Our refurbished Apple products will always have genuine Apple replacement parts (as needed) that have been thoroughly cleaned, inspected and graded. Our devices (iPads, iPhones) are never refurbished or repaired, they are cleaned and tested only. All computers and devices will include genuine Apple charging accessories such as cables and AC adapters and will be installed with the latest available operating system from Apple unless otherwise requested.
