Want a premium streaming box without the premium price? Open-box units at Dreamlinkstore.com are tested, complete, and factory reset — then sold at a significant discount. Here's how open-box works and which deals are worth grabbing.
What does "open box" actually mean?
An open-box unit is a box whose packaging has been opened — typically a customer return or a display unit. Before it's listed, our Ottawa team tests it, checks it for completeness, factory resets it, and repacks it. What's inside is a fully working unit; what's different is the price.
Every open-box listing is:
- Tested and complete
- Priced in CAD
- Shipped from Ottawa
- Covered by our 15-day returns on unused items
Open box vs new: what's the trade-off?

| Software | Factory reset, latest updates applied | Latest updates applied |

Who should buy open box?

Frequently asked questions
Is an open-box unit reliable?
Yes. Every unit is tested and checked for completeness before listing, and it's covered by the same 15-day return policy as new items.
Does open box include the remote and cables?
Yes — "complete" means the box, remote, HDMI cable, and power adapter are all in there.
Why is open-box stock limited?
Each unit is one of a kind — once it's sold, it's gone. If you see the model you want, don't wait too long.
