Excellent Condition (Grade A)

• Grade A: By default our refurbished Macs are in Grade A condition, they will be free of cosmetic damage and will only show light signs of use such as minor wear on the base or bodies. Screens are checked to ensure they are free of blemishes or defects.

• Grade A: This grade represents the majority of our range. You will get a fully working machine with minimal marks or scuffs at an amazing price. Products may have light cosmetic (barely noticeable) scratching/scuffs on lid. The underside base panels might have slightly heavier marks or scratches being consistent with being placed on surfaces over time. CheshireMacs are very fair and strict on the grading but please remember these are not brand new so will have some signs of use, but anything deemed to look a little too worn is automatically graded as B.

Good Condition (Grade B)

• Grade B: Some Macs will be labeled as Grade B, these will have a cosmetic issue such as a scratch, scuff or small dent on the body that does not impede function. The screens are checked to ensure that they are in good condition and that there are no functional issues. Grade B items are processed using the same detailed procedures as our Grade A stock and will come with the same comprehensive warranty.

• Grade B: These are the same as Grade A but will have one small cosmetic issue which will be shown in a photo attached to the product listing. This could be a heavier scratch or small dent, and will come with a discount which will vary in relation to the extent.
