warranty and pukka bill negatives:
1. higher cost
2. higher cost
3. higher cost... which basically goes to the govt. |
warranties are useless if they are not stamped and mailed in. I would adive all here to have them stamped and mail them in themselves (after making a photo copy for your records). warranties are also useless if there is no piucca bill. So when you mail your warranty i staple a copy of the bill with it.
in some cases the higher cost is not only taxes but also dealer margins. official dealers do charge more than grey market dealers. partly because they have to maintain service centers, show rooms, etc...
You also have to know your dealer. for most of my audio equipment my dealers know me! This ensures good service and a good realtionship. This is the advantage of buying from a company and a dealer with a reputaion for service.
