Chapter 12
The inconvenient Warranty

Let's talk about convenient warranty. These are the tools that look and appear to be protection for the consumer. However, let's look closer. First of all, most products come with a Warranty and manufacturers warranty. This will be more than enough on 99% of the cases. So what do department stores and computer shops to be pleasantly ask and provide extended warranties. Each Warranty will vary in price depending on the length of the warranty. I guess first of all you have to ask yourself how long this store going to be a business before you decide to purchase and warranty of any length. As well, I would seriously consider the price of the extended warranty compared to the price of the actual product than I would ask myself "is a $50 product worthy of a $25 Warranty." Then I would ask myself how long is this product going to last, because, as she'll discover if you do a little bit of searching. You'll find out that a large percentage it a large percentage of products that are purchased are under the hundred dollar mark and people are buying extended warranties or the because they have no idea what they're doing. This is of course is what you are store is going to hope. And this is how they cash in.

Now let's talk about well-timed Warranties these awardees the receive the last write up until the day before your product dies or crashes were just doesn't work very well anymore. Now I wonder who this benefits just trying to figure that out myself. Let's see it certainly doesn't benefit the consumer end, I wonder how often this happens. Well actually I don't. I have a half pretty good idea from my experience that this happens a great deal. Of course I could be wrong and this all could be just a coincidence.

Again, this is wild, Google. Go ahead type in Results 1 - 10 of about 1,130,000 for warranty expired. (0.34 seconds)  and note the number of returns, you get on that search. As you can see I got over a million now, of course, some of these are not about badly timed warranties and some are bug good warranty. So what can we conclude well, first warranties are like insurance. Most the time, it's hard to collect on them, and most the time. You don't get what you pay for. So when you're selecting a warranty or an extended warranty, I suggest you be very scrupulous about what you choose. Also, I suggest you do the math is a outlined above. And here's my 420th tip, and I think this one will save you thousands and thousands of dollars. Really I do, not to mention the aggravation and the embarrassment of actually trying to collect on a warranty because don't forget that most manufacturers subcontract out there Warnke collection. And if you happened to be living in Canada or United States. You might want to brush up on your Indian language skills so my big tip is forget warrantees forget extended warranties. Just by good product with a good and solid manufacture warranty attached to. Not one outline some of the highlights some of the stories I've found where people have actually tried to collect on their warranty. Yes of course I will be covering rebates. Later in another chapter.

after warranty expired "reviews"
is only about 800,000 of these. So you should be be able to go through that in a day which brings me to my next tip before buying a product. Make sure you check sites like EE pinion website and read the reviews being very careful to look for anything that refers to warranties

Another thing to consider is where and how is your product going to be repaired. What are the terms first of all? If you really need your product, day-to-day thing you want a replacement Warnke next is the Warnke a store warranty or is it a manufacture warranty. Then make sure to check shipping. How many days? will they charge you for shipping? Is it free shipping? How much is the repair cost? Is the repair cost more than the actual cost of the product? No want to remind you to refer to one of my earlier tenet's. When you first buy a product I advice that you not only test It out. Really test it. Use it all day, leave it on, do everything you can do short of hitting it with a hammer or pouring water on it that will more than likely void the warranty. To ensure that it will work. Most electronic products, if they work the first three months or even the first day will work for a very long time again, that is why recommend demo products as a salesperson to give you a discount and say, you will buy the demo product.

Not only do you get a discount, but more likely that demo product is going to last a long time. And you still get all the wonderful manufacturer warranties. You had to be very very careful about warranties and extend warranties. Most of them are worthless and more than 90% of them are never ever useful to the consumer if a manufacturer won't guarantee their product for a least a year. You have to consider that you are buying something that more than likely will not last more than the warranty expiration date. And definitely do not buy a product that only has a warranty of 90 days. In this way, you will not only ensure that you're more likely to get good products. You are also telling manufacturers that you will not accept 90 day warranty's. Why waste your money and why waste your time. Just don't buy them in the first place
