I purchased two refurbished iPads from A4C. The first refurbished iPad had an inferior digitizer screen, which began to crack almost immediately, despite the iPad rarely being moved, and never being dropped or even being taken out of the house.

The second iPad I purchased from A4C couldn't even make it past the iPad set-up menu. The digitizer screen again was clearly inferior, and malfunctioned immediately, not even allowing me to enter my Apple ID. The home button wouldn't respond unless pressed four or five times in succession. In sum, I owned the iPad for all of about 10 minutes before having to email A4C that I would be returning it.

A4C responded to my email, asking if I would accept a replacement iPad instead. Needless to say, I declined. Instead, I purchased another iPad from a more reliable retailer, and gladly spent more for it. As I told the rep, one refurbished iPad "lemon" from A4C could've simply been an honest mistake. But not two out of two. My advice? Don't risk it.
