4 Common Mistakes People Make
1. Any MacBook laptop purchased over the web should have a warranty with a good return policy. Most people never check for this type of insurance, but, when purchasing over the Internet, it's essential.
2. You may think it's a new cheap Apple coming in the mail, but it ends up being a refurbished one. This is a common problem that can be avoided when you read the description and seller reviews thoroughly.
3. If it's your intention to buy a refurbished Apple MacBook, make sure it's a reputable seller on a reputable website like Amazon.
How to Purchase Correctly From Amazon
On Amazon, there are ratings for pretty much anything you want, whether it be seller reviews, consumer reviews, or product descriptions. Many times a person can read a product description and become even more confused than they were before they read it. For me, this is where reviews from the consumer come in handy. Plenty of consumers all over Amazon deliver positive and negative feedback for the products as well as the sellers.
In order to locate these costumer reviews, you simply click on the yellow stars located on the right of product picture above the description. The best reviews stay at the top while the worst reviews remain at the bottom of course.
Tip: Many times a consumer will read a bad review from a costumer that bought something and immediately get turned off. The problem is, most people who write those kind of reviews aren't aware of this information being presented here. They're not sure how to find the "RIGHT" seller and read descriptions carefully enough to make a good purchasing decision.
Example of How to Use this Info While Reading Good & Bad Reviews
Person A, knows nothing about this information and sees a Mac Pro book review on Amazon.com stating, "Macs are the best, my purchase went great, and everything came on time at my front door!"
That same person sees a MacBook Pro for half the price of a regular MacBook Pro however, doesn't carefully read the description, seller feedback, or warranty information, and a broken MacBook arrives at their front door 2 months later. Person A, leaves a bad review!
Person B, read that same exact great review on Amazon.com that Person A read however, decided to read a few other Amazon consumer reviews before purchasing.
Person B realizes that most of the bad reviews came from consumers who had misread information in the description, seller feedback, shipping information, shipping time, and warranty information. This person received their MacBook Pro two days later and wrote a great review.
Conclusion of Example
Person A gets an "F," dropped their "A" and Person B caught it!
Remember:
A good consumer review for me would be if the customer rated the product 4 stars and above, 5 being the maximum. To locate these reviews, simply click on the highlighted stars to the right of the brief product description.
In order to find a good seller on Amazon, there should be links that say "used" and "new" also located to the right of the brief product description. Any seller with over 90% positive feedback is a good one and you shouldn't have any problems however, if you do, that's what your great return policy is for.
