I love my 4 year old refurbished iMac.

Bought from UK Apple Store online.

Previously iMac owner for many years.

No other computers.

I've had no problems at all, but I wondered ?

How do I buy another refurb with no iMac, and no Internet access ?

I suppose I could use Internet café or library, but refurb iMacs are not always for sale UK

[ Apple Store (UK) 0800 048 0408 appears to cover refurbs too. ]

Anyone bought a refurb over the phone ?

Your phone service works occasionally, I hear. Try that?

Never actually bought one over the phone but I have discussed them with Apple in the past.

I've just rung them, and ...no problem.

Useful to have another way to buy them.

( And I've made a note on paper of the phone number ! )

So I'm a stalker for recommending the approach that worked?

What a crock.
