"ScanSource makes it easy for me to do business. I rely on them for just-in-time inventory, free shipping and speedy delivery. When I order a product by 5 pm, it arrives by 8 am the next day. And ScanSource sales representatives are the best available, with strong knowledge of the products they sell as well as vertical markets and the industry as a whole. As good as ScanSource’s pricing is, the price of their products is secondary to the exceptional service they provide."

What does "IBM Factory Sealed" mean?

The term Factory Sealed means that if you are returning a unit, that it must be returned as it was originally packaged and shipped and the containers are still sealed with the original shipping seals. None of the seals that close the boxes can be broken/opened. Basically, the boxes should have never been opened and are still in the same condition as they are in the screenshot below:
