I am a certified dealer for HP and Lenovo, and even I have to think about the best way to go about purchasing our home and office equipment. With our narrow profit margins, I still find it necessary to do a significant amount of shopping around in order to find the best deal.
Despite my significant experience, it was not until a few years ago that I purchased my first refurbished printer. I encountered my first refurbished-printer-buying experience when a box arrived at my office, and I found inside of it a seemingly flawless, refurbished printer. The seal on the box was unbroken, and it was marked HP so I knew the printer was fairly untouched. I opened the box to find that all of the components were intact and packaged tidily. It looked like it was brand new!
Admittedly, I was fairly anxious about buying a used printer at first, seeing as "refurbished" and "used" basically meant the same thing to me. However, upon seeing my new printer, I realized that the refurbished HP printer was basically new! It is nearly impossible to tell the difference between a refurbished printer and a new printer, meaning that the refurbished was a great buy.
I now like to describe the refurbished HP printers as new printers that are priced like used HP printers. I must make it clear that these are technically used printers because they were purchased, opened, and later returned for a variety of reasons. Maybe there was a mechanical problem; maybe an order was cancelled; maybe the packaging was marred; or, maybe it didn't fit in a certain space too well. Whatever the issue, the unit had to be sent back to HP because it could no longer be sold as new.
Once returned to HP, these printers are thoroughly tested and if they fail testing, HP determines the cause and replaces any failed components. If a model contains a component with a known failure rate, the component is automatically discarded. At this point, the printers are put through a series of stress tests and given a final inspection, cleaning and repackaging.
This rigorous scrutiny allows for a very low defect rate in refurbished printers-often even lower than that of new printers! For this reason, I am a firm believer in the value of purchasing a refurbished printer and have decided to specialize in refurbished and used printer marketing. These goods are responsible for the augmentation of our clients' technology funds, and allow high-level protection from HP factory warranty or the distributor's limited warranty regarding used products.
As you consider these products, make certain that you work with a manufacturer authorized dealer who has experience in sourcing and delivering refurbished and off-lease products. As you shop, take your time and make the best choice for your needs.
