What does it mean when a product is flaged ‘Factory Refurbished’?
Exactly what it says.
It could also mean that it was returned by a customer and it was just repackaged. I think they are supposed to test it before packing.
It actually says:
Condition: Factory Refurbished
It means it returned to the manufacturer for some reason (defective or rejective) and it was refurbished by them.
normal lingo :
It has been repared and repacked and is most of the time sold for a cheaper price :)
I purchased a factory refurbished chain saw at Big Lots or some place similar about 10 years ago for around 90 dollars.
Hey..It still works.
I think if Factory Refurbished is safe to purchase. Means was re-manufactured by manufacturer specs.
Sometimes its the stuff that customers returned, and because they don't have the original packaging it has to be sold as Factory Refurbished.
