What does Recertified or Refurbished mean?

Recertified and refurbished have the same meaning. Simply that the product has been returned to the manufacturer for some reason and after a thorough inspection and safety test is deemed to meet all quality and safety standards of a brand new item. These products are then made available to buy from us at greatly reduced prices and still come with a warranty.

Are some refurbished items repaired?

Unlikely. Often the expense of performing a repaired will exceed the value of the product. These items are normally disposed of, however, more expensive items may have had parts replaced to bring it back up to manufacturer specifications.

What does Blemished Packaging mean?

These are items in which the box has been damaged. Often this can happen in transit to and from the manufacturers warehouse or in the warehouse while being handled. These products are safety and quality tested to ensure no damage occurred to the product itself. There may be evidence of testing, water spots in an iron for example. Typically, blemished package units carry full manufacturer warranty, but that is product specific. 

What if I buy a defective product?

We guarantee that all of our products are working. Should a product be defective, once the defect has been confirmed we will gladly provide an exchange within 90 days of purchase.

Please be aware, that as an outlet store we strive to guarantee the lowest prices possible and are not able to cover any shipping cost to return product to the store. However, we will cover the cost of sending back a replacement unit to you.

If I don't like something that I bought, can I return it?

We are an outlet store. Our primary focus is to save you money. We do this by selling merchandise that the manufacturer can not sell through regular retail channels. They reduce the cost to us so we can guarantee you the lowest price. Since the product is often sold at or below cost, these products can not be returned.

Therefore, once you have used a product and it is not defective, there is no return.

Can I get a full refund?

To continually provide the most in-demand household items at the guaranteed lowest price, we make certain concessions with our brand name suppliers. We are not able to return products back to suppliers. A full refund (excluding shipping) is only available when the unit is returned to the store unopened, with receipt.

Why am I being asked to pay additional shipping costs?

Remote, rural or hard-to-reach areas, larger/heavier, or multiple boxes, may incur additional shipping fees. We always do our best to ensure that any additional charges are as fair as possible. If this is the case with your order, a Customer Service representative will contact you promptly to notify you of any additional charges and at that time you will have the option to pay the additional charges or cancel the order.

What happens if my shipment is taken from outside my location?

What if I need to make any changes to the delivery?

Once you have received notification that you order is on it's way, please contact the courier directly to make any changes to the delivery.
