Argecy Refurbished- Our Specialty


Argecy Refurbished printers are used but have been restored, tested and maintained. Supplies such as toners, ribbons, ink, photodeveloper units, intermediate transfer units, and other supply items are not included.

Quality is VERY important to us. Different suppliers have different definitions of the word refurbished. We define refurbished as "like new" both in terms of performance and cosmetic appearance. We offer consistently high quality.

We often receive equipment from other dealers that they call refurbished. Not by our definition, and certainly not with our name on it! Look for our logo preprinted on the box to assure quality.

We use our own professional refurbishing facility, Michigan Data Equipment (MDE). Our specifications call for:

  • audit equipment as received

  • self test

  • dismantle equipment

  • clean and paint cases and covers as necessary

  • rebuild equipment to correct specification and configuration

  • thoroughly test all appropriate functions

  • pack equipment in foam

  • use new, sturdy shipping cartons (uniformly packaged)

  • label with model and serial number(s)

  • 90 day depot warranty (except where noted)

  • printed manuals and printer cables are available for an additional charge

  • supply items are NOT included

  • We stand behind our equipment 100%!




Warranty

Argecy guarantees our refurbished printers, accessories and parts free from defects for 90 days from date of purchase unless otherwise stated. Items found to be defective will be repaired or replaced at our option. Warranty does not cover misuse or mishandling of equipment. Warranty is void if tamper seals are broken. Supply items are NOT included.

If you receive equipment that is faulty or non-functional, or irrecoverable failures occur during the warranty period, you must call and speak to one of our representatives and technical advisers before any returns or repairs can be authorized. Equipment will be replaced as necessary using ground transportation for shipment. If you need faster service on warranty claims, you may opt to increase the service, but you will be responsible for the difference compared to regular ground.

For DOA failures within the first five (5) business days after receipt, Argecy will be responsible for repair or replacement ground freight costs. After that time period, until the end of Argecy warranty, customers are responsible for the return of any RMA item(s) to Argecy, including freight charges, packaging, and shipping label(s). Items to be returned must be packaged with materials equivalent to the way the customer received the original shipment. All packing materials be kept until the items are determined to be in satisfactory condition. You are responsible for all freight costs.

Purchaser has 10 business days to open boxes, inspect Equipment and notify Argecy of any problems or discrepancies.

Supplies such as toners, ribbons, ink, photodeveloper units, intermediate transfer units, and other supply items are not included.


Returns

Please observe the following guidelines:

Please call us, one of our technicians must be given ample opportunity to solve problems via telephone. Most problems are caused by shipping "jostling" and can be resolved with a telephone call.

In no case will returns be accepted, other than for warranty claims, after 30 days from shipment date. Supply items are NOT included.

If authorized, you will be issued a return merchandise authorization (RMA) number. This number helps us track, identify and process your return. Write the RMA number on the outside of your return packages, include a copy of your original invoice or packing slip, and return the package within 21 days of the receipt of your RMA number. We will not accept returns without RMA numbers.

Package and insure all items for their full value. Lost or damaged parts cannot be exchanged.

Please note that spare parts are not to be used for diagnostics and cannot be returned if opened.
