I buy manufacturer refurbished drives from serverpartdeals.com. They come with a 2 year warranty but I've never had a problem with any of them.
And they package drives correctly.
I am checking it out now, they have great deals, even after accounting for the ~40€ shipping, but I am wondering if I will have to pay additional import taxes/duty, not sure how much this would be.
At least for sweden they appear to have shipping options with taxes/duty included. I don't have in front of me right now, but it was something like 200€ all inclusive shipping on a 500€ order. Something like that.
I was worried of the same thing, but my purchase of several hundred CAD did not have any duties applied. Of course every country and even purchase can be different.
I just bought a drive from them last month (from Canada) and just received a $60 duty bill. The time before that I got nothing. YMMV
I just bought a few refurbished 12TB WD Ultrastars off Amazon and it actually says it’s sold by ServerPartDeals. Not sure if it’s the same people but interesting if they are
