What is a Repack?
Caxton Audio / Sound Reference sell
both New & Repacked
HiFi.
They are clearly noted in the description.
Consumer laws prevent manufacturers from selling factory refurbished
as "new", so they offer the best possible deals to move
the product that has been repaired or reboxed, Saving You Money !
Most major retail stores often offer a money back guarantee. These items
are returned to the manufacturer, inspected and repackaged like new with a disclaimer
on the box stating the unit is factory refurbished. In most cases they reseal
the box and put the refurbished tag on the equipment.
Demonstration units can also be considered refurbished. These units are
inspected, tested, repackaged and marked as such.
All factory refurbished equipment is inspected & serviced if necessary to
meet original product specifications. All merchandise is under warranty by the
original manufacturer unless otherwise specified.
Refurbished items have a much lower defect rate. From 10 units that come
back for repair only 1 is usually a factory refurbished item, because
refurbished units are Tested before they are sold where New are
often not. Most give a full factory warranty depending on the
manufacture.
So what does Repack mean? It can be called a repack for many reasons, some are listed below.
But don't forget, every unit is covered by the manufactures
warranty.
Brand New
Brand New products are current market products resulting from cancelled
orders or factory-direct excess where the product has never been used.
Brand New - End of Life
Brand New – End of Life (aka superseded model) products are previous
market products where the product is no longer available for sale to
retailers and the product has never been used.

either in retail stores or for press which have been put through a complete
