It's less than 2 weeks. Pretty standard for anyone not using Prime.

i'm sure it's fine in most case, but i'm iffy about buying used things where i can't see pictures of the actual item i'm getting.

even w/ ebay listings where they have like "10 available" or something, i want to actually see the one they're sending before i pay for it

This is where cool people write stuff.

As long as it's backed by their return policy you'll probably be fine. I tend to avoid any used items that aren't sold from specifically "Amazon Warehouse" or Amazon themselves because I just don't trust it isn't some broken scam item otherwise.

I wouldn't do that for anything that cost over 40 USD that I couldn't repair myself, tbh. (Which is most things.)

The warranty for refurbs is pretty short. You could easily get shafted and wish you just doled out the extra cash for the factory new one.

Yeah, I bought a pair of Amazon Warehouse used Sennheiser HD 800 headphones and they looked brand new to me. They were quite a bit cheaper than a new pair and they're been great for 6 years or so.

Many Bothans died to bring you this post.
