Unless its a car, nope. I think some states require a 90 day warranty though. U.S. consumer protection laws are very bad. Many credit cards have their own yearlong warranty if you use it to make a purchase. bird with big dick posted:I know statistically that buying them is a loser but I've only bought 3 or 4 in my life and 3 of them paid out big time. 1st was on a $1000 digital camera from BB in like 2000. After having it 2.5 years the shutter quit opening under certain conditions. Best Buy sent it out to get it fixed, couldn't fix it, got full credit and bought a 2.5 year newer 1000 dollar digital camera. Probably makes sense if you take a lot of pictures. I had cameras at work that were used to take tons of pictures and one camera went though four shutters. Its shutter count when I left was like 7000 though. Canon was always happy to repair them. The repair guy said the majority of high-end camera buyers barely use them so they just fix the heavily used cameras for free to keep the professionals happy.

Roumba posted:Rather than making a new thread, this seems like the place to ask this: Have you ever "registered your product" like so many boxes, manuals and websites ask us to? What benefits are there for us or for them? I registered a dishwasher once for whatever reason. You get put on their "crazed dishwasher enthusiast" mailing list. Edit: Besides marketing, they may be obliged to try to get customers contact info in case there's a recall. Pekinduck fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Oct 21, 2020 |
