Unboxed Product Policy/ What does open box mean?

When you see an item marked as "openbox" or "unboxed" it means just that: the packaging has been opened. It's likely been returned for some reason, but not necessarily because it's damaged. An open-box product could simply be something a shopper changed their mind about. The buyer may have returned it because they decided they didn't like the color, or for an equally trivial reason. So you could be picking up a new unboxed, unused item for a nice discount.

However, that may not always be the case. Most stores allow you to return products for at least a couple of weeks, and as a result, open-box items could have seen some marks. They could show a little wear or cosmetic damage from their brief time in the original buyer's hands. This usually isn't a problem, but you should be aware that buying open-box means some items will be used, if only lightly.

Open-box products can also be floor models that the store has used to show the item off to customers. They may have never left the store.

Whatever the reason items have been labeled "open-box," these products usually get an inspection to make sure they're working before they're resold. This could be a thorough check of each product's functionality, or the inspection could be as basic as plugging the item in to make sure it powers on.

What is the condition of Unboxed Products?

Unboxed Products are usually in mint/like-new condition and have few or no scratches (You can think of their condition to be similar to a device that you bought 4-5 days back, which is near pristine only). All Unboxed Product comes with their original box and accessories, & are backed with a brand warranty of 8-12 Months (Exact Warranty Details are mentioned on respective product pages). The products are passed through a stringent 8-Step Quality Process for quality, functionality & performance before making their way to your doorstep.

Open-Box vs. Refurbished Items

Retailers may sell refurbished and open-box items in the same section of their store or website, and even use the terms like they're interchangeable. However, there's a big difference between refurbished and open-box products. Refurbished item tend to be damaged goods that have been repaired to return them to like-new condition, while open-box items have simply been returned to the store for some reason, then put back on store shelves with an open-box label.

Either type of product can give you a good price.

Why to Buy Open-Box products?

The biggest reason to consider an open-box item is, cost. They are undamaged products.
The 1st buyer may have returned it because they decided they didn't like the color, or for an equally trivial reason. So you will be picking up a completely new, unused item for a nice discount. It may comes with manufacturer warranty. There isn't any risk in buying open-box items. It can save you serious amount of money.
