Consumer laws prevent manufacturers and retailers from selling any product previously opened by a consumer or factory serviced as "new." Here are a few examples of products that you can find at significantly less cost, and why:

• The box was simply opened and returned.
  
  
• Items where the box or casing was damaged in shipment which are returned to the manufacturer.
  
  
• Demonstrator models and floor models requiring a mandatory return back to the manufacture from the retailer.
  
  
• The item was returned to the manufacturer because of a slight defect or consumer error/problem. If found defective the part that was replaced by the manufacturer, tested and then repackaged just like new. Often times the item was returned because of a minor cosmetic blemish on the cover casing that was easily replaced.
  
  
• Brand new overstocked items that are returned back to manufacture for redistribution are (and must be by law) labeled factory serviced.
  
  
• Many major retail superstores offer a 30-day money back guarantee on their products. Consumers often just simply take advantage of that. These returned items are shipped back to the manufacturer, inspected and repackaged like new (including everything such as supplies, manuals, etc.).
  
  

It is impossible to know the history of each item, but whatever the reason, you can rest assured that the item has been thoroughly inspected, serviced, and tested by the manufacturer, then repackaged to meet original product specifications. All merchandise is then warranted by the original manufacturer. Here are a few reasons why you might consider buying factory-serviced equipment:

• Factory serviced saves money! Smart consumers get the best value by getting the exact same equipment, and generally with original manufacturers warranty.....all at a much lower price.
  
  
• Usually, the only difference between new and refurbished equipment will be the label on the outside of the box that says "Factory Serviced or Remanufactured." The benefit is saving up to 75% off list price!!!
  
  
• Most items also carry a warrantee, just like a new item.
  
  
• All units are thoroughly inspected, tested and repackaged to a like-new condition.

You really can't go wrong when buying refurbished equipment, and think of the savings!!! People who have bought refurbished equipment say they'll never buy new again!!! Letterfolders.com is committed to bringing you the best products at the best price. If you can find a lower price, we'll beat it!
