The price suits our aluminium-block tray-loading proposal. The evidence does not yet. The seller describes the used UR5e as inspected but has supplied only exterior photographs. I want the existing findings before deciding whether a paid independent inspection is worthwhile.

Our pre-shipment review only became useful once the recording identified the actual package and demonstrated the agreed task; for this used arm, would they provide a serial-linked inspection report and a complete list of supplied equipment before you arrange a visit?

I have asked. They supplied identification photos and an equipment list, but the inspection field just says functional. No method or results. I have asked who performed it and what they checked.

Get the repair history too. A replaced part is not automatically bad news, and an empty repair-history box is not evidence that nothing was replaced.

What support would you have after collection? I would price that before treating the low arm price as the cost of owning a working station.

Did the seller answer the inspection-scope question yet, Aileen? Curious whether functional turned into anything you could give an independent inspector.

And an independent inspection needs agreed access before the visit. Otherwise you can pay someone competent to stand beside you watching the same exterior photographs become a slideshow.
