The same process on every unit, using our own audit and imaging software.
Audit
Every function fully tested, including battery and drive tests. Defective parts replaced and re-tested, and a cosmetic grade assigned.
Data destruction and cleaning
Verified data destruction on every device, previous asset tags removed, chargers and accessories tested, and each device cleaned and detailed.
OS update and lock checks
The operating system erased and updated, and every device checked for management and activation locks.
Final quality check
A final outgoing check on every device before it ships.
Enrollment on request
We can enroll devices into your Google Admin console, Apple School Manager and other MDM solutions.
Our own repair center
Our Santa Clara facility is a full-service repair center, so warranty claims and repairs are handled in-house.

Common questions
Is there a minimum order?
No. We quote a single classroom set as readily as a district-wide refresh.
Is the previous owner's data removed?
Yes. Every device goes through verified data destruction, and previous asset tags are removed.
Are refurbished devices checked for activation lock and management?
Yes. Every device is erased, updated and checked for management and activation locks before it ships.
What warranty comes with a refurbished device?
Every refurbished device carries the same Tech to School warranty, whatever its cosmetic grade. Add Warranty+ to extend it and cover accidental damage.
How long will a refurbished Chromebook get updates?
Google sets an Auto Update Expiration date for every Chromebook model. Each Chromebook above shows its date, and your Education Specialist can give you the date for any model you are considering.
Can we mix refurbished and new devices?
Yes. Schools often mix the two, and both can go on the same quote.
Can we pay with a purchase order?
Yes. Send your PO and we invoice on net terms once a short credit application is approved. A new account can prepay by card, check or ACH while terms are set up. We also accept ClassWallet and cooperative contracts.
Do you sell to parents or individual teachers?
We work with schools, districts and education organizations, and we don't sell single devices for personal use. If your school directs families to buy through us, the school can tell you how.
Our school is tax exempt. Do you charge sales tax?
If your school has a valid sales tax exemption certificate for the state the order ships to, send it to your Education Specialist to review. Exemption rules vary by state and follow the shipping address, and not every state exempts schools.
How long does delivery take?
It depends on the models, quantities and stock at the time you order. Your Education Specialist can confirm a lead time for your exact order.
