What does refurbished actually mean? Why buy refurbished, if I can buy new?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll admit that I was skeptical of using anything refurbished, but it wasn\u2019t until I understood the quality and warranty that came along with buying refurbished at a cost-effective price.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Let\u2019s take a look at why refurbished Cisco VOIP phones (oh, and other types of equipment) are the way to go:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Quality: It\u2019s practically brand new!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A refurbished product is simply a product that has been gently used and may have some almost unrecognizable wear and tear on it. CablesAndKits assures the quality of each refurbished <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cablesandkits.com\/equipment\/voip-phones\/cat-56\/\">Cisco VOIP phone<\/a>, and we pride ourselves on the standard of each product. At times, we receive phones that have a minor defect that our testing technician will inspect and fix to bring it back to brand new standards. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cablesandkits.com\/blog\/2015\/05\/the-source-of-our-phone-refurb-power\/\">phone refurbishing process<\/a> reinforces the quality of each phone that is sold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cost Effectiveness: Who doesn\u2019t like to save money?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The average cost savings for a consumer when buying a refurbished product is about 40%. So if you have a phone system upgrade project estimated to cost $10,000, you could\u2019ve budgeted for $6,000 by buying refurbished. Imagine what other projects you could add in the budget with all that extra money! Purchasing refurbished Cisco phones is the answer to getting the biggest bang for your buck and accomplishing your mission of receiving an awesome VOIP phone system for your business.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lifetime Warranty: Awesome is guaranteed!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We test and certify all Cisco VOIP phones that come from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cablesandkits.com\/\">CablesAndKits<\/a>. With risk-free purchasing and hassle-free returns, awesome is guaranteed. \u00a0Test out the phones and if you decide they are not right for you, we\u2019ll take them back and refund your money. CablesAndKits will also provide a lifetime advance replacement, just in case your phone experiences a malfunction or failure during the full lifetime of your ownership. Our customer service members will even expedite the shipment so you will not have to worry about an extended downtime.<\/p>\n<p>So, as you can see purchasing refurbished, pre-owned equipment is not scary at all. It has great benefits for your business as well as your \u201cbudget and support\u201d sanity.
