Does anybody know if Pioneer will cover warranty if it is bought via the third party seller 'Video & Audio Center' on Amazon. Video & Audio Center is listed as an authorized dealer on Pioneer website, and so is Amazon. However, I want to confirm if Pioneer will respect purchases made via third party sales on Amazon. The receiver is much cheaper if I buy this way (due to sales tax charged by Amazon in NY), and somehow it is not listed on Video & Audio Center's own website.

Hopefully Amazon will honor it since the "Warranty Card" included with the manual is a poorly-written and ill-formatted translation that offers no contact or return information. However, it does specify in vague terms that the warranty is only valid for one year from the date of purchase and covers manufacturer defects only (at their own discretion). The 24 month claim must originate elsewhere. I'm assuming, given its price and lack of instructions, that I'm on my own to fix it and/or replace it regardless of when or how it fails. If Amazon honors the warranty, I'll consider it an unexpected bonus.

sold from a first owner to a second the original manufacturers warranty is usually voided... BUT... AMAZON has an A-Z guarantee and I personally take care of all my customers returns if they are not satisfied with their purchase. Insurance may be offered by your carrier for the phone even if brought it from another carrier or wherever.

HERE IS WHAT AMAZON HAS ON THEIR SITE ABOUT WARRANTIES: After the applicable return period has expired, your item might still be eligible for exchange or repair under the manufacturer's warranty. To determine if your item is eligible for a warranty return, review the paperwork that came with the merchandise or contact the manufacturer. Please note, that in order for an item to be eligible for warranty coverage, many manufacturers require the item to be purchased from an authorized dealer. Amazon.com and seller may not be an authorized dealer for all items they sell. If you are in doubt, you can confirm that a seller is an authorized dealer by contacting the manufacturer.

FanTech will not honor the warranty on it's products unless they are purchased through an authorized retailer. The retailers who sell through Amazon are not "authorized retailers" and therefore, you are not covered if you purchase through them. In most cases the only authorized retailers are your local distributors and you can find out who they are on the FanTech website or by calling them. When I called Fantech about the warranty issue, they were very clear about this. The downside is that the authorized dealers charge more.

There is a two year warranty on pioneer elite receivers but their website specifically states that the warranty is only honored and offered through authorized dealers--most online dealers are not authorized unless they are the ones charging full price (best buy, abt, crutchfield, etc...). Fairtrade warranties also do not apply and are refunded at time of purchase from unauthorized internet sellers. Be careful if the warranty means anything to you. Hardly any will have problems until after the warranty expires (which is how companies design things to be profitable--just make it last till the end of the warranty) so I would probably buy one and take the risk, but to each his own.

For an Onkyo receiver, the warranty is 2 years parts and labor. More details can be found at www.us.onkyo.com/warranty.cfm or by calling 1-800-229-1687. The warranty statement says that warranty repair must be done by an Onkyo Autohrized Independent Sales Center, plus the reciever must be shipped at the buyer's cost and must be packed in its original packing materials. Hope this helps you.

I don't work for Amazon - I'm just a customer. I bought my camera off of ebay, and was offerend the square trade warranty with it.

That's a good question. I can't find any information about warrantied. I assumed since I bought it directly from Amazon and not a 3rd party person it would be warrantied. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Should not void the factory warranty when purchased from Amazon. If it's like the one I bought recently, there is a notice on the box (like who reads the box) that there is a 30 day period that you have from purchase to register for the warranty. I didn't see that fine print, so didn't register mine. The dryer that I purchased was giving small shocks and vibrations when in use (scary), so I contacted Amazon and they refunded my purchase cost and took back the defective dryer even though it was past the 30 day return date. I have owned three other Super Solano dryers that all lasted for at least 5 years each with daily use. It's a good product if you don't receive a lemon.

Amazon is merely a third party vendor selling someone else's products. If you really want to know the length of the warranty, it would be best to ask the maker of the product. At least that's what I would do. I purchased the item about 2 yrs ago for my Sony TV and it still works fine. Installation was easy. Had I not tossed the box I could tell you.

I recently purchased a SquareTrade warranty on Amazon after purchasing a TV elsewhere. The registration process automatically defaulted the place of purchase to Amazon. I called SquareTrade and was informed warranties sold on Amazon are only for Amazon purchased products. They did however make a one time exception for me by correcting my registration info and providing me with email verification.

I don't know if it is right in every case or not, but generally unless explicitly instructed otherwise, I do not register products for the warranty when I make a purchase. If I need warranty service I just produce a proof of purchase. Usually, registering just seems to get me more information than I really want from the manufacturer. Sometimes, the exception can be for something that may be getting a software upgrade in the future and you must be registered for them to know who to send the notice of upgrade to. I purchased the same Pioneer amp as you are considering. Did not register.

Hi Lisa I saw that it is a lifetime warranty if you buy it from another vender. If you don't hear from the vender contact Amazon. They have always been able to help me with any questions.

I would call the manufacturer to get the answer to that question. If you call Amazon I am sure they can provide the phone number. You don't want to do anything that would void the warranty.

I believe the answer is ... (1) the first 30 days from purchase, Amazon warrants any product it sells (Note: Amazon 3rd Party Suppliers and Warehouse have their own specific policies), (2) the Manufacturer after 30 days for 3 years from the date & proof of purchase, and (3) if you purchased a separate 3rd-party extended warranty, it would then be operative for the length of time you paid for after the expiration of the manufacturer's warranty.

I am sorry but, I do not remember the warranty coverage and Amazon does not spell it out. You should be able to do to the Bushnell website to find out. Also, a friend of mine has the V3 that vibrates when it hits the target and LOVES it. It simply cost more.
