When you’re shopping for a refurbished laptop, you are looking for total reliability as well as the best price available. Shopping online for refurbished Mac computers can be a bit frustrating as there is an endless list of third-party sellers. Needless to say, it makes more sense to buy from a third-party seller rather than buying through Apple directly, to get the best price. But it is not always easy to determine which retailer to trust. Finding a reliable refurbished Mac retailer can use up a lot of time and energy, so these tips will help make the selection process easier.

Does the seller ONLY sell online? Or do they ALSO have a retail location?

Online shopping is touted as being the most simple and efficient, yet when it comes to computers and other electronic devices it is good to know the retailer has a physical location as well. If a refurbished  Mac dealer has customers both online and on the premises, it is a strong indication that their customer service will be outstanding, more reliable, and trustworthy. Many online-only sellers have strict return policies and do not certify their refurbished and pre-owned Mac computers.

DV Warehouse is located in the Hollywood Media District, in the middle of Los Angeles. Our will-call desk and warehouse are for local customers to get same day service or avoid shipping costs by picking up orders from our will-call desk. At DV Warehouse, we are proud to offer both online and on-premise sales and our customer service is second to none.

How are refurbished Mac computers certified?

Each pre-owned computer should go through a stringent and robust certification process. For example, at DV Warehouse each Mac computer and laptop is put through a rigorous refurbishment process. This thorough process includes:

  • Visual inspection
  • Hardware testing and resetting as needed
  • Data is erased and the device is put through a two-step cleaning process
  • A final Quality Assurance inspection
  • Backed with a 90-day parts and labor free hardware warranty

The multi-level refurbishment certification process is exactly what you should expect!

Does the seller have a Safe Shopping Security Guarantee?

If you have ever been hacked or have found unexpected charges on your credit card, you know there’s nothing scarier than online shopping on an unsecured system. Yet, there are third-party refurbished Mac sellers that claim their sites are secure when they are not.

At DV Warehouse, we use the latest 128-bit SSL encryption technology which scrambles your credit card number and personal information so that they are not readable by anyone but DV Warehouse. In the highly unlikely event an unauthorized charge is discovered within 60 days of your purchase immediately call your credit card company. If your credit card company determines that any fraudulent charges resulted from your online purchase with us, contact us immediately. We provide all of our customers with a Safe Shopping Security Guarantee.

The Final Step

Once you have reviewed and narrowed down the refurbished Mac sellers to a couple, then go ahead and give each of them a call to determine whether their inventory includes the model and price you are looking for. In addition calling, DV Warehouse has a Product Inquiry form, where you can supply the necessary information including budget, platform, additional specifications, and preferred timetable. You will be contacted by one of our product specialists who will review your request and provide options and solutions.
