MYTH
All refurbished products are the same as old used products

MYTH
Refurbished products always look brand-new
FACT
Refurbished, renewed, open-box and used-tested products may have cosmetic signs such as scratches, marks or packaging differences. Cosmetic condition depends on product grade and listing details.
MYTH
Every product has the same warranty
FACT
Warranty may vary by category and product listing. Some mobiles, laptops and printers may carry seller warranty, while accessories, consumables, storage devices, audio products or open-box items may have different terms.
MYTH
Original box and original accessories are always included
FACT
Original brand box or original brand accessories may not be included unless clearly mentioned. Compatible accessories or secure plain packaging may be provided where applicable.
MYTH

FACT
Battery backup and battery health may vary in refurbished mobiles, laptops, earbuds, neckbands and wireless products. Battery condition should be checked on the product page where applicable.
