Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about buying, trading in, and recycling with Saddle Group.
Is a refurbished laptop from Saddle Group as good as new?
Yes, functionally. Every laptop we sell is tested for performance and comes with a warranty. The difference from new is cosmetic — grading reflects the physical condition of the case and screen, not how the device performs.
What is the difference between Grade A, B, and C condition?
Grade A units show minimal to no visible wear. Grade B units have light cosmetic wear consistent with normal business use, such as minor scuffs or faint keyboard marks. Grade C units have more noticeable cosmetic wear but remain fully functional and tested. All grades are covered by the same warranty.
Do Saddle Group laptops come with a warranty?
Yes. Laptops come with a 1-year warranty, and batteries come with a 90-day warranty. If a covered issue comes up, we'll repair or replace the unit.
Does Saddle Group ship across Canada and to the US?
Yes. We ship Canada-wide, and local pickup is available in Vaughan, Ontario by appointment. We also ship to the United States.
Can I trade in my old laptop for credit?
Yes, if the device is still working. Submit a trade-in request through our Trade-In form with your device details and photos, and we'll provide a quote.
What happens to my old laptop if it no longer works?
We offer a free certified data wipe and recycling program for laptops and desktops, working or not. We wipe the drive with a certified data-destruction certificate, strip usable parts, and responsibly dispose of the rest at no charge.
Is my data safe when I trade in or recycle a device with Saddle Group?
Yes. Every device we receive goes through a certified data wipe process before resale, resale of parts, or recycling. You receive a certificate confirming the data destruction.
