New Warranty start date Hello,I purchased one of these warranties along with a computer device through Amazon.com. As I read the warranty, it starts the day I purchased the device from Amazon.com and extended for 3 years.The issue is a clause stating coverage, though, doesn't start until the 61st day. I just don't understand why I'm paying for 60 days of no-coverage??? Shouldn't new device start the warranty period when the item's warranty ends OR when coverage starts?I wrote to customer support around a week or so ago, but have yet to hear back. Not sure where to turn. New Warranty start date Hello,I purchased one of these warranties along with a computer device through Amazon.com.

Thanks Jeffery Buan for writing. I agree with the reasoning for deleting it.I just wish someone else out there - especially from Square Trade would be as conscientious as you. Why they refuse to reply I don't know.At this point, I hope people take the fact they don't response as a warning on how they do business.If someone from Square Trade reads this I'd be happy to discuss the specifics with you in a calm and business like manner.

I think they have figured out that if anything goes wrong, it usually happens within the first 60 days. Also, the first year is covered by the manufacturer, so in actuality, they don't cover the first year either. They all do this stuff. Insurance is a huge scam. Which is way people like Warren Buffet like to invest in them. He knows they will never lose. But, if something happens during the time that they do cover it, you make out. So like most all business, they have us where they want us.

I also feel the same as the first poster here does ..I think I will google and try to find a better warranty for electronics. That is crazy. The issue is a clause stating coverage, though, doesn't start until the 61st day. I just don't understand why I'm paying for 60 days of no-coverage??? Shouldn't new device start the warranty period when the item's warranty ends OR when coverage starts?Thanks Bert now I know even more.

I believe my warranty was 1 year (now past) and all is working well. I can't believe Amazon doesn't answer this question for you as you're asking if Amazon offers an extended warranty. I NEVER buy extended warranties. My credit card doubles all warranties and extended warranties are a marketing "scam". I had a friend who was responsible for the original auto extended warranties and marketing them. She even said they were a bad idea and not to buy them. AMAZON? Why don't you answer Mike's question?

According to information from my local Apple store & one of the Amazon sellers, for the refurbished pads, the 1 year Apple warranty starts when the I Pad was purchased from Apple by the reseller & the length of your warranty is what is left. Apple Care has to purchased within 30 days of the original purchase date - to be safe, I would ask the merchant

I just got off the phone with Square Trade and they said they do NOT cover refurbished items unless purchased through eBay. The ST rep said that since ST is partners with Amazon, their warranty offer automatically shows up in Amazon listings whether the item is refurbished or not, their computer can't tell the difference. Glad I called!

Depends. I bought my Dell PC from Best Buy and the warranty began on the date of my purchase. I've bought new laptops for business from Amazon resellers and the warranty took effect when they (not me) originally received them from Dell. For a fee, you can always extend the warranty directly through Dell.

Hi Maria, this is what it says on my warranty-PRODUCT ELIGIBILITY: This Service Agreement covers Products purchased as new or factory&#8208;refurbished and manufactured for use in the United States, which at the time of purchase included a manufacturer's original or factory&#8208;refurbished warranty valid in the United States. Coverage only applies to Products used non&#8208;commercially. Accessories and/or add&#8208;on options purchased separately and not essential to the basic function of the Product are not eligible for coverage. However, if I were you check out Amazon's "coverage plan" and or ask Amazon what they do provide and I also would ask Amazon if I'm right in assuming that the 3 yr Smart Guard Plan is for USA only, because since it's being purchased from a seller in the USA, it just might be that it would cover you and your purchased item. Hope this helps. Sean

I registered the computer when I started it directly with Apple on the date I received the computer so the date will differ from person to person. It came with a one year warranty just like a new one and I have been very happy with the product, no problems at all. I hoped that helped!!

It starts at a 90 day from date of purchase; then goes to a lifetime at a reduced charge for replacements. I have always had good luck with the replacements. Never had an issue before 90 days so have only dealt with the lifetime aspect.

No, this warranty begins immediately upon shipment of the Kindle and counts two years from that date. During the time that your Kindle is covered under the standard manufacturer's warranty this policy supplements things that are not covered, such as cracked screens, spills, drops, etc. When the one year standard manufacturer's warranty is finished, you will have one full year of coverage remaining under this 2-Year Protection Plan.

I don't know what you are buying, but the warranty cost is usually related to the cost of the item and the number of warranted years. So, if you are getting a Square Trade warranty through Amazon, and it is specific to the cost of the item you are buying, for the number of years you want the warranty for, then I assume you are good to go, and Amazon is just offering a better deal.

I believe that it starts after your factory warranty expires. This is actually a warranty extension on the original purchase date. That is my understanding anyway.

I year manufacturers and you buy extended warranty (Apple Care); probably on the Amazon site for a little than Apple would charge.

I believe the 3 year extended warranty you're looking at is a warranty offered by some kind of third party warranty company. A lot of companies offers additional coverage such as "squaretrade" I would highly recommend getting an additional warranty on those laptops. Just so that you're completely aware of how those third party warranty companies do business, you might want to do the research on their coverage when it comes to something really happens. Some times they do take care of their customers and some times they decline the claim that the customer make in the event a laptop . I hope that was helpful.

To be honest I didnt even look at the warranty before I bought it. I have had several computers and all have lasted past the original warranty before any problems arose. I searched Dell on this laptop and it told me I that its in warranty until 12-31-2014 and if I renew it before then it will continue on. As far as a user manual goes, I believe it had a basic tutorial at the beginning but I skipped over it. Sorry I could not be of more help.

I just called square trade and they told me that it only covers products/laptops purchased on amazon. No where on the amazon sale page does it mention that. It just says you have to purchase the square trade warranty within 30 days of purchasing the laptop. I have 2 days left to get the warranty, ????

As far as I know, it is brand new (refurbished in the factory), but it does not have the full warranty. I got one in July and it`s working perfectly. I have other experiences with refurbished equipment and never had any problem. Maybe it`s interesting to contract a third-party warranty just as an addiitonal protection.

I bought mine when I bought my computer. The price was so reasonable I could not find a reason not to buy it. So I don't know if there is a time limit to purchase the warrantee after you buy the computer.
