How long does it take for you to ship?
I ship out the day your form of payment clears. That means if you pay with Google, you will get your system the quickest. Payment clears to me usually within 3 business days, 4 or 5 at most. Paying by check or US Postal Money order can take up to three weeks before shipment, since the payment has to be sent to me, then I hold the payment for up to another two weeks to avoid fraud. This means, with transit time, you could wait up to a month for the item to get to you. I prefer Google checkout for all payments.

What happens if I drop or damage my new computer?
Sorry, my replacement or repair guarantee doesn't cover against accidental spills, drops, knock-overs, water, fire, snow, heat or other forms of deliberate or accidental damage. If the item is returned with any sign of damage from the buyer, no replacement will be sent. If it can be fixed, it will cost the buyer $20.00/hour plus parts and return shipping. This does include broken laptop screens.

How do I know the computer I am getting will work?
All systems are tested at each stage of tear down, cleaning, rebuilding and part replacement, software and operating system install, and a number of final tests before being put up for sale. All systems are guaranteed for the first 30 days. If they break down during normal use, then it will be repaired or replaced.

What shipping methods do you use?
UPS ground is the most common way I ship. I may use US postal service in some cases, but very rarely since, if an item is damaged, it is harder to file a claim to get your money back.

What if my computer is damaged in shipping?
That is why, to protect both my business and your item, I use UPS ground WITH insurance. This is already included in the cost of the item's shipping that you pay for when you check out. I do NOT accept returns on items damaged in shipping.

Do you build or customize computers?
Yes, I can make a custom laptop, desktop, gaming, or special needs system, such as for visually or hearing impaired individuals. I can load custom software, make secure systems for companies and people who require things like encryption, fingerprint readers, signature boxes, and more. I can also personalize your computer with custom colors, designs, home screens, and more! Email me for a quote!

What does "refurbished" mean?
Refurbished literally means "rebuilt"! Although the outside casing will have some scratches or scuffs, the insides are almost like new, but for a large savings over a new laptop. I even have a few "value" laptops just right for the budget conscious, students, or for people who have simple computing needs and do not want to spend a lot of money! No matter if it's 200 or 2000 dollars, each computer is looked over, cleaned up, repaired, parts replaced, given new memory, hard drive, operating system, software, and thoroughly tested to be sure everything works! If something doesn't work, it is noted in the item description.
