‘Refurbished’ is a well-known term in the IT and computer world that is used for products that are checked after use, repaired if necessary and then offered for reuse.
Refurbished products cannot be compared with second-hand products, as refurbished products are thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and, if necessary, repaired and repackaged by professionals.
HP products and parts are manufactured and purchased by companies worldwide. We and our partners specialise in purchasing and/or refurbishing overproduction, residual stocks, return goods and business-depreciated goods from companies.
Demonstration products, products from overproduction and return goods may no longer be sold as New Retail. However, these refurbished items are usually 'as good as new' or even new.
In most cases, buying refurbished products is a reliable choice.
The reliability depends on your refurbished supplier. Your supplier's refurbishment process largely determines product quality.
You can recognise a reliable refurbished supplier by the following points:
A professional and transparent process of refurbishment
The warranty period offered on refurbished products
How long the supplier has been around
Customer reviews
Quality marks
