How It Works

01

Text or Email

Text 214-529-7133 or email us. Tell us your budget and what you need it for.

02

We Send Options

We confirm the exact unit we can source, with photos, specs and battery health, plus a one page agreement with every number filled in.

03

You Pick One

Approve the agreement, then pay a deposit through PayPal Goods and Services, the one payment type PayPal can reverse. The supplier receipt is in your phone the same day.

04

You Inspect It, Then Pay

Inside 14 days we meet in a public spot on or near campus. You open it, check the battery screen yourself, and only then pay the balance. If it is not what was agreed, your full deposit comes back on the spot.

Why Buy From Caldex

Battery Health Disclosed

We list the exact battery percentage on every unit. No guessing. The number you see is what you get. We don't sell below 80% without telling you.

iCloud Cleared + Fresh Install

Every MacBook is signed out of the previous owner's Apple ID and given a fresh macOS install. You set it up as new — no leftover data, no leftover accounts.

Real Photos of Your Exact Unit

The photos in our listing are the MacBook you receive. Not stock images. Every flaw is photographed and described before you buy.

14 Days, Or Your Deposit Back

We commit to sourcing and delivering within 14 days of your deposit clearing. Miss that window and the full deposit refunds automatically. You do not have to ask.

Inspect Before You Pay The Balance

You inspect the actual machine in person before the balance is due. Wrong spec, undisclosed damage, or it does not power on, and you get your full deposit back on the spot. After pickup, a 7 day guarantee covers anything disclosed as working that fails.

Talk to a Real Person

Text or email and you're talking directly to the person who tested your MacBook. We answer questions before you buy and follow up after.

Need it for move-in? Start your pre-order at least 14 days before you need the machine. That is the window we commit to, and most orders land sooner. Text us your date and we will tell you honestly whether we can hit it before you pay anything.

Ready to Start?

Text or email with the spec and budget you need. We reply fast, and no deposit is requested until the exact unit, the price and the delivery date are in writing in front of you.
