Its the day after Christmas and you walk into your local consumer electronics
retailer and see "clearance tables" all over the store with out-of-box and
open-box products. Although many of the products on the tables may be from the
perviously discussed categories (open-box returns and displays), there is
another category that appears on these tables: The Product Service
Comeback.
Basically, there are several types of product service
comebacks:
- Products that were in service, brought in by customers, that
were never claimed after they were repaired.
- Displays that were damaged in
some way, repaired and sent back to the store to either put back on display or
sell as a discontinued unit.
- Service plan exchanges. This includes products
that were previously owned by customers, but required several repairs within a
specified time period. In such cases many service plans give the store and/or
the customer the option of having the unit repaired again or exchanged for an
equivalent current replacement unit. At this point, the service department
determines whether to just dispose of the unit, sent it back to the
manufacturer, or service the unit again and try to sell it as an open box item.
If the unit is sent into service and sent back to the store for sale, it ends up
usually shows up on the "Clearance" table.
