Fox in the Box, refurbished IT for businesses and individuals

Fox in the Box is a family-run company founded in 2019 and based on the outskirts of York (United Kingdom). It specialises in the sale of refurbished IT equipment, configured to order, aimed both at small businesses that need to handle their daily tasks and at large companies with extensive IT infrastructures. The firm presents itself as a supplier of professional equipment from corporate leasing contracts, with savings of up to 70% compared to the recommended retail price of a new device.

Catalogue: workstations, servers and desktops

The catalogue is organised into several product families:

• Workstations from HP, Dell and Lenovo, plus a configurable line of refurbished workstations that the customer can define to measure. They are aimed at computer-aided design, engineering and photo and video editing.
• Servers in 1U and 2U rack, tower and blade formats, with examples such as the HP ProLiant DL360 and DL380 Gen9 or the Dell PowerEdge R630, in configurations with Intel Xeon E5 processors of various ranges, DDR4 memory of up to 256 GB, 2.5-inch SFF bays and redundant 1400 W Platinum power supplies.
• Business desktop computers and a own line of gaming PCs, including the option to configure a custom-built system.
• Laptops and tablets, with professional models such as the Dell Latitude 7400 and 7490, the Lenovo ThinkPad P50 or the HP EliteBook 840 G3.
• Components and peripherals: hard drives and SSDs, processors, memory, graphics cards, power supplies, rail kits, monitors, keyboards and mice, and PCI cards and controllers.

Refurbishment and warranty

The equipment comes from ex-lease and ex-corporate systems from brands such as HP, Dell and Lenovo. The process includes triage, inspection, cleaning, thorough testing and replacement of components when necessary; systems deemed suitable are returned to the market, which according to the company avoids unnecessary electrical and electronic waste. All refurbished equipment — desktop, workstation or server — is delivered with a minimum twelve-month warranty. Systems are configured and retested after each order, with operating system installation when applicable.

Shipping times and support

The company states that equipment is assembled to order. For single-system orders, the goal is to dispatch it the same day or the next working day, with a cut-off time of 12:00 for same-day shipping. For multi-system orders, it recommends contacting beforehand to confirm an exact schedule. It offers express shipping with next-day delivery and a customer service available at all hours, with pre- and post-sale support in several languages.

Track record and technical advice

The technical sales team has more than 19 years of experience in the IT industry and advises customers to tailor the solution to their budget and workflow, whether it is equipping office tasks or deploying larger-scale infrastructure.
