˰91ƵCertified Refurbished Products
(1) What are ˰91ƵCertified Refurbished Products?
˰91ƵCertified Refurbished Products are pre-owned ˰91Ƶproducts that undergo Apple's stringent refurbishment process prior to being offered for sale. While only some units are returned due to technical issues, every unit is evaluated to ensure it meets Apple's quality standards.
Each ˰91ƵCertified Refurbished Product:
- undergoes full functionality testing and any defective modules identified in testing are replaced.
- ˰91ƵWatch and ˰91ƵPencil devices that require replacement parts are not included in the ˰91ƵCertified Refurbished Program.
- is put through a thorough cleaning process and inspection.
- is repackaged (including appropriate manuals, cables, new boxes).
- includes either the Operating System originally shipped with the unit or, in some cases, a more recent version.
- is placed into a Final QA inspection prior to being added to sellable refurbished stock.
Refurbishment procedures follow the same basic technical guidelines as Apple's Finished Goods testing procedures.

(4) A refurbished item that I wanted is no longer available. How can I ensure that I get an item when it's in stock?
Refurbished supply is usually very limited and we often run out of refurbished inventory. We recommend that you act quickly if you see an item that you like. A product will be reserved for you once you've completed checking out and we've received full authorized payment. Please note that some payment methods take longer than others and that availability of a refurbished product is not guaranteed until we receive your full payment.
