Dell Financial Services : The Green Choice
Why Buy Refurbished?
Dell is committed to maximizing the RE-USE or Recycling of all returned lease products. Dell Financial Services refurbishes and sells over 95% of all returned Lease systems into the secondary market. The remaining 5% of returned lease product is sold for Parts or recyclable materials (metal, glass, and plastic). Dell's goal is to become the greenest technology company on the planet. We believe it's important to consider the environmental impact at every stage in the product life cycle.
What is refurbished?
DFS Direct Sales, the online computer store from DFS offers quality off-lease Dell computer equipment for sale to the general public. This equipment has been returned to DFS from customer leases. DFS then selects the highest quality returning systems to go through a stringent visual and technical refurbishment process prior to making them available for sale to consumers. Refurbished computers are systems that are tested to ensure quality workmanship standards remain excellent. Refurbished products are visually and diagnostically inspected to ensure these items function. Refurbished systems may have some observable cosmetic imperfections, but they will not affect the performance. All refurbished products sold via www.DFSDirectSales.com include a 30 day total satisfaction return policy and a 100 day limited warranty.
What Does DFS do to be Green?
DFS constantly works to improve refurbishment processes; improving efficiency, reducing waste by-products, and perfecting methods of product re-use. Working so that no product ends up in a landfill. We have reduced the amount of packing materials we use by reducing the sizes of the boxes we ship our product in. This has resulted in a decrease of 20% on desktop packaging and 31% reduction on the notebook packaging.
