Pre-owned Certified

Products with a new beginning.

Pre-owned Certified products are inspected, cleaned and (if applicable) repaired to excellent functional standards. Buying pre-owned extends a product's life, reducing e-waste and raw material extraction. Pre-owned Certified is part of the Climate Pledge Friendly program that helps you discover and shop for more-sustainable products.

Why choose Pre-owned Certified products?

Refurbishing a product can avoid the need for extracting additional raw materials (metals, oil for plastics, etc.) required to manufacture components of new products. In addition, refurbishing a product extends its useful life and can save the product from just being thrown away. This is why Pre-owned Certified products are a great choice.

How do products qualify for the Pre-owned Certified program?

Pre-owned products in approved categories become Pre-owned Certified if the product meets the defined repair criteria. Once eligible refurbished products have passed a quality inspection, they are tested and listed in the program.

Products must meet all of the following criteria to qualify:

1. Product must be a pre-owned product that has electrical or mechanical components that can be replaced or upgraded to excellent functional standards.

2. Product must be within an approved category and meet the criteria standards with a battery capacity exceeding 80% of the new equivalent and with any repair operation utilizing Original Equipment Manufacturer parts.

3. Product must be supported by the manufacturer and not a discontinued model.
The Pre-owned certification of products is based on standards set by but not directly performed or controlled by Amazon. The products are professionally inspected and tested by an Amazon qualified and performance-managed supplier.
