What is a PCMIX Certified Open Box Product?
Open Box products are essentially unused items that have been professionally inspected and are confirmed to be in perfect working condition. They come with the full manufacturer's warranty, a proper GST bill, and all original accessories.
Where Do Open-Box Products Come From?
Our open box inventory consists of genuine items returned by customers to major e-commerce platforms like Amazon.
The reasons for return are often simple and have nothing to do with the product's quality:
-
It was an unwanted gift.
-
The customer ordered a product incompatible with their setup (e.g., a PS5 controller for an Xbox).
-
The box was cosmetically damaged in the original shipping.
-
The customer simply changed their mind.
These products are not "used" in the traditional sense. They have been opened, but have seen minimal to no actual usage. That's where our real work begins.
Because the original packaging has been opened, they can't be sold as brand-new, yet they offer excellent value at a discounted price.
The "PCMIX Certified" Inspection Process
Before any product is listed on our website, it must earn the "PCMIX Certified" seal. This is our guarantee that the item is in pristine, like-new condition, backed by a rigorous hands-on inspection.
1. The Hands-On Functional Test:
We test every single function of the device to ensure it performs exactly like a brand-new product.
-
For Gaming Controllers: We test every button, trigger, and joystick (checking specifically for drift), as well as haptic feedback and charging ports.
-
For Mechanical Keyboards: We test every individual key and switch for responsiveness, check all RGB lighting modes, and verify the connection cable.
-
For Gaming Mice: We test the sensor for accuracy, check all buttons for a crisp click, test the scroll wheel, and verify DPI settings.
-
For Headphones: We conduct audio tests for stereo balance, check microphone clarity, and test all buttons and volume dials.
2. What We Immediately Reject:
Our reputation is built on quality. We immediately reject and discard any product that shows:
-
Any clear signs of use, such as major scratches, scuffs, or grime.
-
Even a single failed function during our tests.
-
Missing essential accessories like cables or wireless dongles.
If it's not perfect, we don't sell it. Period.
A Dedicated Note on Box Condition
We believe in full transparency. Since these products have been shipped once before, their packaging often tells a story. You might notice:
-
The original factory seal is broken.
-
Shipping labels have been applied and removed, sometimes affecting the box print.
-
Minor dents or scuffs on the cardboard from warehouse handling.
Please be assured, the condition of the outer box has no reflection on the perfect, like-new condition of the actual device inside. The box has simply done its job of protecting the high-quality product within.
