Corporate laptop procurement, tested before it ships
Many companies buy laptops in bulk and store them for when they're needed — only to discover, months later, that units are dead on arrival or out of warranty. We procure, test and pre-configure on your behalf, so devices are ready to deploy the day you open the box.
Corporate IT teams routinely buy laptops in advance — for onboarding, planned refresh cycles or contingency stock. The machines sit in a cupboard until they're needed. When the boxes are finally opened, a percentage are dead on arrival, and warranty cover on the rest has already started ticking — or in some cases expired entirely. The result is wasted money, wasted time, and frustrated end-users on day one.
PostMend handles procurement on your behalf. We source the units you need, power up and test every single one, confirm warranty status at source, and — if you want — pre-install your standard software image before the laptops are stored or shipped on. You get a fixed procurement fee, an itemised report by serial number, and machines that are ready to deploy.
The service is built for IT managers, MSPs, finance and operations teams handling rollouts from a handful of units up to fleet-scale orders. We work with you on the spec, the build and the timeline — and back it with the same Dell-certified engineering expertise behind our repair service.
Tested before shipping
Every unit is powered on, diagnosed and burn-in tested. DOA units are caught and replaced before they reach you — not after a six-month-old box is opened.
Warranty checked
We confirm each device's warranty status at source and report it back to you, so units don't sit on a shelf until cover has lapsed.
Custom software pre-installed
On request we image each machine with your standard build — OS, drivers, security agent, line-of-business apps — so devices are ready to hand to staff straight from the box.
Shipped where you need
Devices are shipped to a single site or split-shipped to multiple offices or home-workers. Tracked and insured throughout.
