But you really must look at things in the "big picture" and the long term. Is receiving a less than perfect item a pain in the neck.and upsetting.sure. "crapware"!Īpple took care of things correct? Good deal! Apple has gotten rated #1 in customer service year after year after year. If I only had 2 "less than perfect" experiences like you.I certainly wouldn't all of a sudden start calling Apple refurbs.
I have literally purchased 100's and 100's of Apple products over the years. Then why would any sane, logical, intelligent person expect EVERY refurbished or Brand New product sold by Apple to be 100% perfect? Is any product (new or refurbished) from ANY manufacturer going to be a 100% error/problem free.no!
Are ALL BRAND NEW Apple products sold 100% error/problem free.no! Personally, I would not buy from anyone making such claims unless they can provide proof.Just about nothing in this world is 100%. Quite often, resellers will offer their own warranty instead which would be difficult to use as you'd have to pack up and ship the Mac back. a reseller being able to offer Apple certified products with an Apple warranty, my initial response stands - caution is advised. As far as I know, the only way to get an Apple warranty on a used product is to purchase it within its first year of warranty. Well, I cannot find anything on the 6ave site that shows that they are either authorized Apple resellers or that they offer a mfr's warranty on their products:Īpple Certified Refurbished Products - AppleĪs for the warranty: Apple starts its warranty when they ship a product to an authorized reseller if you buy the unit new, you can get Apple to reset the start date by providing your purchase receipt.

Why would the seller say that it has a "full one-year Apple warranty"? If what you are saying is correct, and I believe it is, then the unit should only have part of a one-year warranty left on it, unless pre-owned units that have been certified by Apple come with a full one-year warranty?Īny additional comments will be much appreciated.

If I can get the serial number for it, I should be able to find out when it was first sold and when the Apple warranty expired(s). However, this may be the manufacturing date, and the unit may have been sold NEW sometime in mid to late 2017. There is also a statement above the "Warranty & Support" paragraph that says: " Date First Available: December 25, 2016", From your response, this unit is apparently not from the mid to late 2017 period, and perhaps the one year Apple warranty has run out. Only sellers who maintain a high performance bar may offer Certified Refurbished products on ." This last sentence is interesting - maybe Apple does allow some of their Certified Refurbished products to sold elsewhere? I see them all the time (there aren't too many, but I do see them, like one or two every time I look on Amazon and e-Bay (I've been shopping the iMac desktop for several months). The certification process includes functionality testing, basic cleaning, inspection, and re-packaging. In addition, all units are eligible for AppleCare add-on protection directly via Apple if you want to extend the product's warranty period. All Certified Pre-owned units come with a full one-year Apple warranty and can be repaired online or via any Apple store across the nation. Apple MK482LL/A Apple Certified Pre-Owned units are fully tested and certified by Apple to look and work like new. Actual description says: "27-inch Recertified. Seller's listing says: "(Certified Refurbished)" at the end of the listing title.Ģ. Now, I'm not sure if I should even open up the box, in case I need to return it.ġ. I was trying to get ahead of the game by buying the extended Apple Care before it arrives. I have not received it yet, should be here in next few days. Kappy and Babowa, thank you for your replies.
