Sony Extended Warranty - How to buy it after purchasing LCD from Amazon.com I would like to know if you buy a Sony LCD tv from Amazon.com or another internet dealer... can you still buy an extended warranty from Sony direct? Sonystyle.com sells their own tv's and extended warranties, but I can save almost $800.00 by buying from an internet dealer. I couldn't find anything on Sony's website about buying a Sony Extended Warranty (stand alone purchase). Is there a third party Extended Warranty that people recommend or stay away from?

Do not buy a Sony TV and the extended warranty is a waste. Sony contracts these repairs out and we have been fighting for over a month to get the repair completed. Last iteration was Warrantech sent two guys who had never done the repair on this TV, and within 5 minutes of starting the work, they broke two of the components so now the TV doesn't work at all. Seriously ??? Have spent way more time than you can imagine on the phone trying to get this sorted out. Clearly Sony and their contractor Warrantech have NO INTEREST in customer service or in honoring warranty repairs.

I have the same problem. We purchased a KLDBravia Motionflow 52" and purchased the extended warranty. They sent people to come without any tools to take my tv to a place they chose. It is now 63 days since they took the tv I have no knowledge of whether it will be replaced because they told me that they would know on Wednesday so I called and they are on vacation. DONT BUY SONY.

Lee,Item #4 on the one-year limited warranty for my KDS50A2020 covers projection lamps. It gives me a one-year replacement on any projection lamp which fails during that period. Go to Sonystyle and look it up yourself. And I would not be calling anyone a "fool" before checking out the facts. Makes YOU look like one...

Andrew is correct. SonyStyle said the "extended service plan" extended my original Sony limited warranty for the period of purchase. My projection lamp was covered for one year so I, understanding my "original Sony warranty" covered it, believed Sony's claim it would be covered by the extended warranty.NOPE!!!The third party warranty provider said the projection lamp was considered a "consumable" by Sony and would not be covered under the extended service plan. I explained SONY covered the lamp for a period of one year so SONY did not consider it a "consumable". They said I was out of luck per warranty small print.

Don't buy it. I just called because my lamp/bulb went out after one year. The service rep simply said, "that's not covered" and goodbye. What else would go wrong on a tv? Rip off. Don't buy it. Too bad you bought Sony. Deez.

hello, have a nice day. I just bought an Xperia SL the cellphone gets very hot all the time and the battery last only 5 hours even when i'm not using it... i'm from Venezuela Sony have some official shops here and i was wondering if i could bring the phone to your shop so the examine it and if the warranty cover that, do i have to bring some documents or something? what would they be?

You are foolish if you think lamps are covered under the warranty on a projection tv. Sony is not kidding, it is a consumable like tires on a car. That is why they make it a user replaceable part, no service tech is needed to replace a lamp. A better question would be their policy on dead pixels and flat panel lighting (neither of which users or service techs can do much about).A 5 year $420 warranty on a $4200 flat panel might be an OK deal.

I have the VT30 65 inch and I never had a problem or issue with it. As for the warranty. Panasonic has a very pricey extended warranty you can purchase. If you recently purchased your set within the last 90 days, you might want to check out how much an extended warranty will run you with Square Trade. It is usually offered with purchases through Amazon or other online products. Their prices are very reasonable for all the coverage you receive. I recently learned, you don't have to buy your product on the internet to receive the coverage as long as you purchase a contract within 90 days. Had I known that when I purchased my HDTV, I would have purchased a warranty through them. It will save you a bundle. I have the VT30 65 inch and I never had a problem or issue with it.

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.

Yes, I have an extended warranty for this television. Have not had to use it as of yet, thankfully. I got the extra 3-year protection plan through Amazon as well. Hope this helps!

Sony's website (sonystyle.com) sells 3, 4, and 5 year warranties, if you purchase the extended warranty within 60 days of your purchase. The 5-year plan is $289 and grades down from there about $60 per year (4 year plan $229). Still considering it myself!

Hi. I chose the extended warranty when I checked out through Amazon. I believe it was somewhere around the ballpark of $12 to $15 and it was through SquareTrade. I thought this was great because I've been doing business with Square Trade for years on electronics I purchase over $100. It should still be offered when you add electronics or appliances to your cart and proceed to the checkout. I can't advise you on other warranties offered but I can with Square Trade. You can also go to their (Square Trade) website and enter in the type of item and the cost and it will give you a price on a two or three year warranty. Let me know if you have any more questions.Good Luck,Jon Hi. I chose the extended warranty when I checked out through Amazon.

I do not believe so, in fact i had trouble purchasing a warranty even through Sony - they wouldn't sell me an extended warranty. I managed to trick it by finding the device in another country's sony domain, like a .de or something then found a link to the extended warranty section. At that point I was allowed to purchase the 2 year warranty with accidental damage for sixty dollars. Happy Hunting! Please note that now there is a US Version (as of a few days ago) so you may now have better luck. Not sure what the US model number is

If you purchase this warranty from Amazon it's only good for purchases made through Amazon. For items bought off E-Bay you'll either have to purchase the warranty straight through Square Trade's website or the E-Bay website.

question 1. is there any better benifit from buying the extended warranty from amazon when you order the LG set or directly from LG themselves?question 2. Some have said you have 6 months and some have said 1 year from the purchase date of the LG TV to purchase the extended warranty. Will either then extend out from the one year in house warranty coming with your Tv purchase to include an additional 5 year warranty rather then the 4 year you get when you purchase the warranty at the same time as the TV??

Was not aware of an extended warranty. Would be interested in the fore-mentioned one from Sony for 3 years.

if your buying one only buy it directly from a company, you can't expect to get a warranty on used items sold here and places like eBay. I would find a place going out of business or buy direct from amazon fulfillment. otherwise I don't know if nikon USA.com will let you buy an extended warranty. if you care bought a warranty buy it from someone I wouldn't buy from eBay. 90% of the stuff there is counterfeit. and horrible? you'll have better luck with amazon? remember a standard kit for nikon d3200 is bought 600 with one lens, check the website listed above. in this response

I'm not an "extended warranty" person but I am an authorized service provider that repairs HDTV's and IMO you should get the extended warranty if the price is right. If you pay 400-500 for your set, a 30/yr extended warranty is worth it. 500-800, 40/yr. 800-1000, 50/year. Over 1000, 60/yr. Consider the cost of the extended warranty when you shop. Be sure and look at Costco because they double the 1yr mfg warranty and have good prices on the extended warranties. They also provide excellent followup service on their claims - I have been repairing sets and have had Costco actually call the end user while I was there to check to see if I showed up. :) I'm not an "extended warranty" person but I am an authorized service provider that repairs HDTV's and IMO you should get the extended warranty if the price is right.

You could try to find a Sony dealer sight on the internet. I have a Sony store I go to here in Australia.Maybe there is a Sony store near your location. That being said all goods sold in Australia have a 3 Year warranty.(Reasonable time use-age)You could contact your Consumer goods commission if you have such a service in the country where you live?If you get no satisfaction from the dealer you purchased the item from.

I realize this is long after you posted your question but the answer is yes you can. Just do an Amazon search for Extended Warranty and you'll see a great number of them available. I have no idea how legit they might be but would doubt Amazon would allow them to be sold if there were major problems with the providers of the service.

I bought the package from amazon (tv, glasses and bluray player) paid 2212 just for the tv and I still was able to match the price of the TV itself to $1999.75. It took a fair amount of convincing and complaining before this was taken care of properly. The customer service staff in India is particularly inept at understanding Amazon price match policy. Finally I spoke to a Team lead (Pablo) who was able to handle the situation very efficiently. All in all, I paid a little over $2K for the whole package a price match of $212. So when you call, you need to pose the question as to what would you pay if you were buying the package now. It doesnt matter how the $400 promotion was applied.

I don't usually buy an extended warranty from any company for anything. Statistically they are rarely worth the cost as most are never used to the extent that they are worth the price. The one I bought is for a Rebel DSLR Camera and I know the minimal cost to repair almost any part of the camera is likely to pay for itself the first I may have to use it. I did not check the cost of a warranty for this camera from Best Buy so I cannot give you a fair answer as far as comparison, sorry. Good luck with your purchase, I believe my purchase was worth the cost.
