FAQs

What is refurbished technology?

Refurbished technology refers to usually preowned electronic devices that have been professionally inspected, tested, cleaned and, where necessary, repaired before being made available for sale again. Unlike buying a used device from a private seller, refurbished devices go through a comprehensive quality assurance process to ensure they perform reliably.

Is a refurbished phone the same as a used phone?

No.

A used phone is usually sold directly by its previous owner without professional testing or quality checks. A refurbished phone has been professionally restored, tested and graded, giving you confidence in its quality and performance. See the iuteMarket and Foxway grading system for more specific information.

Are refurbished phones reliable?

Yes.

Every refurbished device available in iuteMarket is professionally refurbished by Foxway and undergoes comprehensive quality testing before it is offered for sale. Components such as the display, battery, cameras, speakers, buttons, sensors and connectivity are checked to ensure the device functions properly.

Why are refurbished devices more affordable?

Refurbished devices cost less because they have usually been previously owned—not because they are lower quality. Like cars, smartphones and other electronic devices lose value quickly after purchase, even though they continue to perform well for years. Refurbished technology lets you enjoy premium devices at a significantly lower price. On some occasions, the devices have not been even used but are marked as unmarketable, see more from the grading system.

What does the grading system mean?

Iute and Foxway have a grading system to help navigate the refurbished technology selection based on your needs and expectations. This creates a transparent and reliable standard in choosing from the selection.

Why should I buy refurbished instead of a brand-new phone?

If you’re looking for the best value, refurbished technology allows you to own premium devices at a lower price. Many flagship smartphones remain powerful and reliable for years, making refurbished models an excellent alternative to buying the latest release.

How much can I save when I buy refurbished?

Buying a refurbished electronic device can save based on your need and device grade up to 70% compared to buying a brand new from the store. You still get the financing possibilities from iute, can resell the device and can enjoy a guarantee (warranty)
