Refurbished items

Who refurbishes the units?

They are all refurbished by the manufacturer (unless specified otherwise) to the original company's specifications.

Why does availability seem unpredictable?

Unlike new inventory, we can’t order refurbs in – we have to wait for the manufacturers to contact us when they have a batch to sell.

What are the advantages of refurbished goods?

All refurbished items will have been checked over by the manufacturer by hand, inspected very thoroughly, diagnosed, and calibrated by experienced technicians, and could therefore turn out to be more dependable than a new item - which will only have been checked by a process of systematic quality control protocol (ie by random sampling as it comes off the conveyor belt).

What about firmware updates?

Refurbished goods are shipped with the firmware updates and latest fixes which were completed at whatever stage it was at when we took delivery.

What type of warranty does Adorama offer on "Refurbished" goods?

All refurbished equipment sold by Adorama include a 90-day return-to-manufacturer warranty (unless specified otherwise). Canon Refurbished include a 90 day return-t0-Adorama Warranty

Do I need a warranty certificate for repairs on refurbished goods?

No, your Adorama invoice is all you need to get warranty service on refurbished products (or just your order number, for Canon refurbs).

Grey Market

What is the Grey Market?

"Grey Market," also known as "direct import," are products imported directly into the U.S., and not through the manufacturer's authorized agent/distributor.       

Are "Grey Market" products legally imported?

Yes, it is perfectly legal to directly import these products and sell them in the U.S.

What are the advantages of "Grey Market" goods?

There is no factory-authorized middleman involved in the import of these products, so the costs are lower. As a result, the customer pays less. In addition, many items that are in short supply or are not imported at all by the manufacturer's authorized distributors, are available in the "Grey Market."

Are there any disadvantages of "Grey Market" goods?          

Because there is no factory-authorized middleman, there is no manufacturer's warranty. However, "Grey Market" products purchased from Adorama are warrantied by Adorama Camera and are returned to Adorama Camera for any warranty repair.

Are there product differences in "Grey Market" goods?

There is no difference in the actual products. In most cases, they are manufactured in the same place by the same people and with the same materials. Occasionally, manufacturers will give them a different name. For example, the Olympus USA Digital Stylus Cameras are called Olympus MJU Cameras in Europe.

What type of warranty does Adorama offer on "Grey Market" goods?          

On "Grey Market" products purchased from Adorama, we offer the same warranty as the U.S. warrantied products carry, for a period of one year. The only difference is that the product would need to be shipped to Adorama for warranty service.           

Do I need a warranty certificate for repairs on "Grey Market" goods?

No, your Adorama invoice is all you need to get warranty service on "Grey Market" products.        

What happens after the warranty expires?       

Just like products with an expired manufacturers' warranty, you can take the product to any convenient repair shop and pay for the repair.       

Is there "Grey Market" film? 

Yes, we carry Kodak film in three versions:

• U.S. - made in the U.S. for domestic distribution
• U.S.  for export - made in the U.S. for worldwide distribution
• Grey Market - imported from other countries

Fuji, Ilford and Agfa films are made outside the U.S. In this case, Grey Market means how it came to be imported. The products are the same, but distribution and control determine the difference between U.S. and Grey Market. The main issue with film has always been assurance that it was handled and stored properly during transport to protect its emulsion. For this reason many professionals prefer U.S. film. However, in our experience, we've very rarely encountered any emulsion problems with Grey Market film.

Open Box

Since an item can be marked as "Open Box" for many different reasons (i.e., returned without original packaging, writing on the original packaging, or manuals, packaging and items opened and tested) they may not include all accessories, manuals or original packaging. We recommend that you inspect and test the product immediately upon receipt. Open Box items are covered under original manufacturer's warranty.
