Refurbished from Wal•Mart means they cleaned a used phone as best as they can.


Such as this one:


https://www.walmart.com/ip/Restored-Apple-iPhone-11-Carrier-Unlocked-64-GB-White-Refurbished/131975201?classType=REGULAR&from=/search


  • “Like-new” condition with very light micro-scratches, invisible at a distance of 8-12 inches (arm’s length).


And it's not even being sold by Wal•Mart.


Sold and shipped by Reebelo


There's not much of a way for you to know what you're going to get from Reebelo. Though they do get very high marks for honesty on Trust Pilot.

Seems it would be okay, but it's up to you. And I would very carefully look at each offered item to see where it's from, and that vendor's reputation.


And as Jeff Donald mentioned, it's very unlikely you'll have any warranty coverage.
