Do you repair units that weren't purchased from you?
We certainly do! Our retail store in East Brisbane can repair most desktops and laptops computers. Give them a call or pop into the store and have our technicians take a look at it. Most repairs take anywhere from 3-5 business days, however some repairs may take longer if parts need to be ordered in.
Can I sell you my PC or Laptop?
Unfortunately, we don't buy devices from the general public. We can however accept donations, and help recycle computers to help reduce the amount of e-waste within Australia.
What currency are the prices listed on your website in?
All the prices listed on our website are in Australian Dollars (AUD). Please note that currency conversion rates may apply if you are shopping from outside of Australia. The final amount charged to your account may vary based on your financial institution's exchange rates and any applicable fees. Check out our accepted Payment Options for more information.
What is the difference between refurbished and second-hand?
Refurbished computers are previously used products that have been returned to the certified refurbisher for a comprehensive evaluation, repair, and restoration process. These products are meticulously tested and restored to a like-new condition, meeting the manufacturer's quality standards.
Second-hand computers, on the other hand, encompass a broader range of conditions, spanning from like-new to heavily used. They are sold in their existing condition, without necessarily undergoing any formal restoration or quality checks. The quality and condition of second-hand items can vary significantly, and they may or may not include warranties.
At ACT, we offer both refurbished and second-hand products. We take pride in our rigorous quality assurance process, ensuring that each device is thoroughly tested and graded to eliminate any potential issues.
Will I Receive a paper copy of my Tax Invoice with my order?
To help reduce our environmental impact and minimise waste, we no longer include paper copies of tax invoices with our orders. We are committed to sustainability and believe this small change can make a significant difference in our environmental footprint.
You can easily access and download your digital tax invoice by heading to the My Orders section of our website. This approach not only helps the environment but also ensures that you have a quick and convenient way to retrieve your invoices whenever needed.

General wear and tear is to be expected, however you won't receive anything that is damaged to the point it compromised the functionality of the device.
