If you're unfamiliar with the differences between open-box and refurbished, it's a pretty big one. Open-box items have been returned to the store for a variety of reasons though are generally in new condition and include all the essential components that usually come with that item. Meanwhile, refurbished items have been used for potentially a longer period, returned, and then tested and repaired where necessary to ensure they're in like-new condition. There may be slight cosmetic damage, or a missing manual, or plain packaging instead of the product's usual packaging, though all of these issues are stated in the description of the item you're buying — if any apply.
Best Buy's sale features a few different sections to shop in depending on what you're hoping to find today. One section features over 50 open-box tablets starting at $99.99 while another includes open-box TVs as low as $74.99. You can also purchase open-box games and consoles, refurbished electronics, and even a selection of open-box appliances, including essentials like microwaves, refrigerators, and washing machines, among others.
Best Buy offers free shipping on orders totaling $35 or more. Currently, all stores are closed to customers, though curbside delivery is also an option if you need your purchase in hand today.
