Customer Returns:
Many large retailers like Best Buy have a 30-day return policy for their electronic products. We've all return products for various reasons in the past, most of the time, cause we changed our mind after a few days. Consider the fate of the unit after return. As the item is open, practically brand new and possibly used, the item is sent back to the manufacturer for refurbishment. Although the item is now classified as refurbished, only 5% of factory refurbished items are related to an actual product defect during production.
