What does "refurbished" really mean?
All parts are fully tested to meet or exceed original manufacturer specifications. All are professionally tested and inspected on premises in a static controlled environment. Parts will often show some signs of wear and are not new. We take great pride in quality control and representing accurately the condition of our products.
How do you pack for transit?
We use only quality packing supplies, anti-static, bubble wrap, foam. We typically bulk pack or pallet when required. (We have two loading docks accessible for larger shipments.) We can individually box and label items for a small additional fee when in quantity.
Do you sell any new equipment?
On rare occasions we do sell new items. In these cases, the word "NEW" will appear in the product description field of the item and the price will reflect the new condition.
Do you offer any repair services?
We can do some repairs (ex: board capacitors in qty.), but for local or mail in repairs, it is not our forte, and turn-around times can be rather long, and only select manufacturers.
What payment options do you accept?
First orders from new customers are always via credit card, Paypal, or pre-paid wire transfer. If you are located in the United States and would like to apply for a credit line, please email ar@bluestarusa.com for a credit application after you have completed your first order.

Our return policy is seven (7) days for "good" parts unwanted or wrong item ordered and sixty (60) days for defective parts. All returns are subject to our RMA policy and may be subject to a restocking fee. Please see our RMA form page.
What is the return policy on cosmetic/plastic parts?
For All case parts, such as plastics, we realize that condition is subjective. We consistently strive to maintain a high level of quality control, however these parts are not sold or represented as new. For RMA purposes, unless the case part(s) or plastic pieces are the wrong item altogether (incorrectly identified) or severely visibly damaged (cracked, broken, stripped screw holes), they will not be eligible for return. If you feel the damage truly is severe, we would require photographs of items in question within 48 hours of receipt for them to be considered under these rare circumstances.
