From physical store to online success
You know the feeling. That Leapp store you always popped into for a refurbished iPhone. Suddenly gone. Door closed, shutter down. Just like many other brick-and-mortar stores that have closed their doors in recent years.
Yet, closing those stores turns out to be not a dramatic end, but rather a smart move . Because while everyone thinks Leapp is gone, they're operating at full capacity online. In fact, without expensive retail space, they can now offer even sharper prices for refurbished Apple products.
From AirPods to MacBooks, everything comes with a two-year warranty and free home delivery. No hassle with opening hours or parking fees. Just shop 24/7 from the comfort of your own home. And those accessories you used to browse in-store? Now you can find them all conveniently online, including reviews from other buyers.

From shopping street to online store: the smart switch
The closure of physical Leapp stores in 2020 may have seemed like a loss, but in hindsight, it turned out to be a conscious decision. Where valuable square footage and staff were once needed, an efficient online operation now operates. This shift means lower costs, which are directly reflected in the prices of refurbished Apple products.
The benefits for customers are clear. No more closing times, no travel time to the store, and above all: a much larger selection than ever fit in a physical store. From the latest iPhone models to older MacBooks perfect for students—everything is now just a few clicks away.
What does refurbished actually mean?
Refurbished products are pre-owned devices that have been fully inspected, repaired where necessary, and tested according to strict quality standards. At Leapp, this process goes beyond a simple inspection. Each device is thoroughly cleaned, receives new parts where necessary, and undergoes extensive testing before being sold again.
The result? A product that technically functions like new, but for a fraction of the original price. Ideal for those who want the premium Apple experience without paying the premium price.
Two-year warranty: certainty first
A common concern with refurbished products is reliability. Leapp alleviates this concern with a standard two-year warranty on all products. This is longer than many other providers offer and gives buyers the confidence that they are purchasing a quality product.
For those who previously purchased in a physical store, the warranty terms remain unchanged. The service remains the same, but contact will now be via the website or by phone instead of at the store counter.
The complete range online
The online offering covers the entire Apple ecosystem:
- iPhones: from recent models to affordable entry-level models
- iPads: perfect for work, study or entertainment
- MacBooks: powerful laptops for professionals and students
- Apple Watches: Health and connectivity on your wrist
- AirPods: wireless listening pleasure in various versions
- Accessories: cases, cables, adapters and more
Each product is described in detail, including specifications, the device's condition, and photos. Reviews from other buyers help you make an informed decision.
Free delivery and return policy
Ordering online at Leapp usually means free home delivery. No hassle with parking in busy shopping streets or lugging heavy boxes. The product is neatly packaged and delivered to you.
Still unsure? The right of return allows you to return the device if it doesn't meet your expectations. This eliminates the risk of online purchases where you can't hold the product in person first.
Sustainable choices are becoming increasingly popular
The demand for refurbished products is growing steadily. Consumers are becoming more aware of the environmental impact of electronics and are looking for more sustainable alternatives. A refurbished device means one less phone or laptop to produce, with all the resources and energy that entails.
This conscious choice doesn't necessarily mean compromising on quality or ease of use. On the contrary, many buyers discover that a one- or two-year-old top-of-the-line model offers more value for their money than a brand-new entry-level model.
Tips for online shopping at Leapp
To get the most out of your online shopping experience:
- Compare different models on specifications and price
- Read reviews from other buyers for practical experiences
- Check the condition of the device (A-grade is as new, B-grade has minor signs of use)
- Consider an older top model instead of a new base model
- Be quick - popular models often sell out quickly
Closing physical stores isn't a step backward, but rather a step forward. The online focus makes refurbished Apple products more accessible than ever, while maintaining quality, service, and warranty. For those who want to shop smart without compromising the Apple experience, the online store is the new home.
The smart choice for consumers and the environment
While physical Leapp stores may be gone, the company continues to operate—just smarter . Without expensive retail space, they can now offer refurbished Apple products at more competitive prices, while retaining a two-year warranty and free delivery.
For consumers, this means 24/7 access to a wider selection, without travel time or parking fees. A conscious choice that benefits both the wallet and the environment. So, the store hasn't disappeared, but simply moved to where we already prefer to shop: online from the comfort of our own home.
