Are We being Ripped OFF by all Dealers..

After my Limited research into Some Computer Parts Warrantees.

Most of the Manufacturers are offering from say 2 to 6 years, its listed on
there Web sites.

But here you are lucky to get 1 year.

The Point it is, that the Manufacturer pads a fee onto its produces to cover
for possibility of warrantee claims

This is also why Extended Warranties cost extra.

Only one site that I know of list Warranty details depending on the country..

That is Creative as the EU has a Minimum of 2 years.


The Point is we are paying for the 2 to 6 year warranties in the Manufactures
price and not getting it here..


And considering we pay a lot more for the products here..

I do intend to point this out to the Commerce Commission and Fair Go as I
have been asked to do this..

NZ the Rip off Country or is it because Kiwis are so Complacent to let this
to happen..

Many dealers list products with warrantys greater than 1 year too.
Why dont you just check the warranty on a product before you purchase it?
Whats with this warranty fetish youve been going on about lately? you seem to be
making a big deal about it
Just buy from a reputable business who list the warrantys and she'll be right
mate.

You should check Your Self They are ALL ONE YEAR..

They are normally locked into what the Importer gives, but they can still
offer more but they don't

So Ascent , DragonPC , Testech and PP are not reputable according your
statements

I have done some research on this, but it looks like you haven't..

So you've checked every item by every online retailer?

You must've missed the 36 month warranty on the HDs @ Advantage, or the 60 month
warranty on most of the RAM.

Are you retarded?
I do deal with Ascent and PP who ARE reputable and provide good service.
look here... http://www.pp.co.nz/Motherboards-Socket478.php - warrantys are clearly
listed and most of them are more than one year. Are you blind as well?

It clearly shows you are the one who has not done any research.

Yes very limited as others have pointed out.

But also you have very little idea of the computer parts business in NZ.

Most companies in NZ and that includes the bigger ones can not raise the
volume of orders to allow them to deal with the manufacture directly
when buying stock. Instead they buy through clearing houses who often
offer different warrenty than the manufacturer.

Some clearing houses are owned by the manufactures and often pass on as
good a warranty as they do for the volume clients who deal directly with
the manufacturer. Others (Like Century in Hong Kong) buy from
manufacturers and on sell to small volume buyers but do not pass on the
original warranty terms from the manufacturer. (Part of the deal that
allows clearing houses to undercut the manufactures sell price often)

Now as to the agents in NZ who supposedly represent the manufactures,
well surprise surprise most of them dont, and only have a license to use
the name of the manufacture as an agent but buy from the clearing house
like everyone else whose order volume isnt big enough for a factory order.

So the case is not as simple as you think.

How do I know this, well I used to import and sell PC Part for a large
recognized brand while working for there agent in NZ.

Maybe he's on new meds ?

That was one of the longest, yet still irrelevant, posts from him in a
while.
