Amazon Renewed review

Amazon Renewed is the easiest option if you already shop on Amazon. Amazon says all Renewed products are professionally inspected and tested by a third-party company, cleaned and show minimal to no signs of wear, and are priced up to 40% below the original price. The Amazon Renewed Guarantee lets you return a product within 90 days of receipt for a replacement or refund, which is a longer window than the 30 days at most stores here. That guarantee is the main protection, though, and it is shorter than the one-year warranties at Back Market, Reebelo, Gazelle, Apple and Samsung. Listings come from many refurbishers, so condition and battery details vary by seller. A search for renewed iPhones returned 837 results, but prices did not load in USD from our location, so check the listing. We compared documented policies and published prices only.
