Grade explanations


On our webshop, we sell several types of product conditions:

  • New
  • Refurbished
  • Used/Secondhand
  • CPO
On this page, we'll explain the difference between all different product conditions and grades.


**Please note that all explanations on these page are subject to change and availability depending on available products.
We recommend to always double check the product pages for accurate descriptions.**



NEW
New products are completely new in seal (retail packaging) and never been activated before.

REFURBISHED
Refurbished products are revised, by changing malfunctioning and/or broken components, to make them 100% functional again. All these units are tested via specialized software, guaranteeing the functionality. These units have at least 80% battery health.

USED/SECONDHAND
Used/Secondhand units are units that are 100% original, but in used condition. The units are tested for functionality, but components might show signs of use (i.e. batteries that are not at 100% battery health).



Both refurbished and used/secondhand work with the same gradation system. Please refer to the table below for grade explanation.
