Refurbished computer sales in Kenya: Delivery Planning and Acceptance Checks
Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Plan delivery around observable acceptance
Plan the handover and acceptance record for refurbished computer sales, using the specific checkpoints for the example offer.
This is a planning reference for refurbished computer sales. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional refurbishment batch REF-110 prepares three owner-authorised used mini desktops, each advertised only after verified 8GB RAM/256GBstorage and matched power adapter. Output is per-unit serial/spec/condition/test sheet and truthful warranty. Prior-owner data handling is authorised and documented; stolen/locked devices, activation bypass and unsupported genuine-licence claims are excluded.
This page is a work-control sheet. It does not teach a qualified trade, prescribe a food process, approve equipment or replace the appropriate technical procedure. Confirm who has the competence and authority for any specialist task.
Prepare the control record
| Stage to schedule | Checkpoint from the scoped example | Actual record to complete |
|---|---|---|
| Verify lawful supply | Unresolved locks/ownership stop resale. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Inspect each unit | Do not advertise three identical units from one representative sample. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Handle prior data | A deleted desktop folder is not proof of sanitisation. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Test individually | Record faults and supported software/licence state. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Grade honestly | Cosmetic cleaning does not justify'like new'or guaranteed lifespan. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
Keep accepted and unresolved work separate
| Issue to watch for | Evidence question |
|---|---|
| One unit differs | Compare serial/spec sheets. |
| Old owner files remain | Check authorised sanitisation evidence. |
| Adapter overheats/damaged | Inspect matched specification/condition. |
The issues above are prompts to investigate, not a diagnosis of a real defect. Record what was observed, isolate the affected output where appropriate, and refer the technical decision to the competent person or approved process. Do not copy a hypothetical response into a real incident without assessment.
Reconcile the handover
Use the agreed charging basis: Refurbished device. Record ordered, completed, accepted, held and rejected output separately. Track rework time, changed scope, credits and collection dates against the same order reference. Cosmetic cleaning does not justify'like new'or guaranteed lifespan.
Proceed within a defined trial limit only after the buyer's acceptance, actual full costs and collections are recorded, and the guide's unresolved checks are addressed. The final business-specific checkpoint is: Cosmetic cleaning does not justify'like new'or guaranteed lifespan. Otherwise record a hold, revision or stop decision in file 10.
