Frequently asked questions
If you don't find the answer to your question here, simply send a message and we will be more than happy to help. Furthermore, we won't pester with needless information or bombard with calls you don't want.
Speak to a Specialist
We are entirely flexible to your requirements, whether that is a single refurbished laptop or one thousand new machines deployed to desks. We have catered for all types of customers. Visit the Rapid IT webstore for some of our inventory, but we can always provide more over a call or email 😁
Of course, this entirely depends on the number of devices you require and your relative location. To give you a guestimate, we can ship single devices the same day if ordered before 1.30 pm, and we can ship and deploy 40 devices within a 2-week window. We aim to keep that 2-week window or as close to it as possible, even when the volume of devices increases.
We will always confirm delivery dates and requirements during your project discussions with us, and we are always transparent.
Don't be - our devices are rigorously tested to ensure like-new (or better!) performance, and we personally use refurbished computers and laptops in our own office.
As standard, all devices come with a year's warranty and can be extended up to 5 years, meaning that if anything at all were to go wrong in this period of time, we ship out a replacement unit to you with no charge. And no, we don't wait until you have returned your unit, we send it the same day we receive notice from you, ensuring minimal downtime and inconvenience to you.
Certainly! We find many businesses and education institutions either have extremely archaic methods of tracking assets (Excel spreadsheets) or do not have any tracking at all, leaving them vulnerable in many ways (Theft, software security updates, no licence management, etc). We can install and train on our IT Asset Management and can provide this as an ongoing service to you.
Through partnerships and collaboration, we can offer a plethora of applicable business solutions to you, including (But not limited to):
- Smart Digital Building Management Systems
- Sustainable Office Furniture Solutions
- IT Recycling and Decommission
- Secure Office Relocation (Incl. Europe)
- And more....
