Similar question. But can the laptop be purchased from another retailer seperately or only through Amazon in order to purchase this plan?

You can go to the Square Trade website and check the FAQs, and possibly call them directly to ask them. The answer "from the horse's mouth" is the best way to go.

"Square trade bought on amazon are for amazon items only." That is completely false. I called Square Trade today and the representative verified Amazon is simply a reseller of these warranties. They apply to ANY retailer you purchase your item from as long as it is within 30 days of purchase! Just make sure to purchase the proper warranty for your item. Type in "Square Trade Hard Drive or Square Trade Laptop, etc." and it will give you the warranty you should purchase! :)

I spoke with two Squaretrade reps today on the phone, and both said no. One said that it used to be the case, but they recently changed the policy. In order to avoid problems with claims down the road, he said that a plan for a computer purchased at Best Buy, for example, should be purchased directly from the Squaretrade website. I do not know why that would have changed since the June 26th email below...Major bummer.

You can purchase the plan directly form Square Trade. I will say that you get a slight discount if you purchase at the same time as purchasing the laptop from Amazon. At least for me there was when I priced everything out.

you can buy it before one year warranty will be gone within anytime. I also prefer to buy macbook from apple online not because applecare but cutomizing what I want to add like hard drive, RAM, extra accessaries. I was hesitating between amazon and apple. but I did go with apple. of course, you can upgrade it after by yourself. but it's different story.

I bought mine at Sears and was able to buy an extended warrenty for $500. I don't know about purchases from Amazon.

It does cover items you buy from 3rd party sellers for Amazon that are used. Be very careful when using 3rd party sellers of used items. Amazon finally took care of me on a used laptop I purchased from a 3rd party seller. The laptop was a real problem and never got completely fixed. Amazon granted use of the Square Trade Protection plan I got along with the laptop, I took it to the shop that works on all my office laptops and they got it working. Thankfully Amazon paid the bill as the seller would not take the laptop back without a 15% restocking fee. The restocking fee would have cost me $100 so thankfully Amazon came through for me. I have since donated the laptop in a raffle so, its someone elses problem now.....

Contact amazon first about this they may be available to give you more details and if not contact Toshiba directly from their site

I think so. You go onto the square trade website and you register the device with its serial number and such. I don't think where you buy the laptop matters (just make sure it is one that square trade covers). Good luck!

yes, you have to register with Amazon using model number. Use you laptop, connect with Amazon and you'll find how to

I called and spoke to someone on the phone and they told me it has to be an Amazon purchase, however someone else asked this same question and there was a bit of discussion on the topic. I decided to buy the warranty here on Amazon and just give it a shot. They did accept my registration and my receipt from a product purchased somewhere else. I sent them a copy of my receipt as part of the registration and then called to confirm that everything was good to go. Personally, I'd much rather buy electronics here from Amazon whenever possible. The only reason I didn't buy my computer from Amazon was because they couldn't match the student discount I got elsewhere.

Yep, amazon only carries the generic versions. Dont think Bestbuy will do it either, I tried and they only carry the generic ones too. If you want 16gigs of ram you will have to order it from Apple.

I would go to Amazon and buy it through them. As I remember you have 30 days from the time of purchase from other retailers but you have 90 days if you purchased you tablet through Amazon.

Does anyone know of another site where this model can be pre-ordered? I'd rather not give Amazon the business because of the pricing deception.

I don't blame you but not sure how you could do it unless buying it directly from Lenova. Amazon was $50 cheaper.

Yes, if you purchase it direct from Amazon.com and not a third party reseller.

You cannot order it through amazon that way, but you can change the wireless card out once you have it.

I am aware that the plan is not specific for purchases on Amazon, however if I were you I would NOT trust Square Trade. Crooks!!
