 1) All Factory Refurbished
products offered by GetFeetWet Navigation are clearly identified/labeled in the
product page either as part of the Product Title or Product Description. If the
reference to a Factory Refurbished product is not mentioned in any part of the
product page, then product can be assumed to be Brand New for all intents and
purposes. Factory Refurbished packages have manufacturer stickers clearly
identifying them as Factory Refurbished so as to distinguished them from Brand New
units.
2) GetFeetWet is highly selective in the products it carries and make
available to its clients. Aside from Brand New units, GetFeetWet only carries
Factory Refurbished units which the manufacturer warrants as
Brand-New-Condition and comes with factory warranty. Some companies like Garmin
International have the same factory warranty as brand new units. Other companies
like Raymarine, offer a shorter warranty period for their refurbs than their
brand new units.
3) Quite simply, GetFeetWet does not offer for sale any "used" or
Customer-Returned units.
All factory refurbished units come straight the manufacturer. Some companies,
like Garmin, only offer factory refurbished labeled packages that are unused and
brand new condition. Some companies, however, do release back to the
distribution channel used or customer returned products.
4) In many cases, newly released Factory Refurbished units are better
than Brand New units that have been sitting on dealer shelves for some period of
time. Factory Refurbished units are inspected and and tested by the manufacturer
as part of the refurbishing process. Firmware of Factory Refurbished units are
also updated. Finally, all outdated accessories and documentation are replaced
with the most current versions.
