Just purchased my Electronics 5 days ago. Can I still Purchase? Can I purchase this coverage after buying the electronics a couple of days ago? I did not see it offered at purchase time. Thank you

Do you mean if I have a 1 year manufacturer's warranty and I wait a year to purchase a Square trade 3 year warrenty, the warranty will only be good for two years? This sound like fraud to me. Can you purchase a 3 year warranty when the manufacture's warranty ends?? I purchased a Panasonic DMR-EZ48VP-K 1080p Upconverting VHS DVD Recorder with Built In Tuner.Panasonic DMR-EZ48VP-K 1080p Upconverting VHS DVD Recorder with Built In Tuner

Yes, you can add this warranty any time while you are still under the existing manufacturer's warranty. For most electronics its either 90 days or a year.

Coverage is only available for NEW major products bought in the past 30 days.

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. Major bummer.

I just called them. You can NOT use this plan for products outside of Amazon (i.e. eBay). This plan can only be used for products purchased at Amazon - you can add the warranty to your shopping cart at the time you buy. I didn't ask them how long consumers have to purchase the warranty -- Square Trade says you have to buy within 30 days, for example. Should've asked... oh well.

Thanks.Regarding service/problems...if you buy online do you have to deal with service/repair, etc online too? Does that work out generally?I know, I want my cake and eat it too. Car dealers hate this but if you buy from another (say, out-of-state) dealer, your hometown dealer MUST offer warranty service for you.Also, when buying online, do you have flexibility for setting up family plan and getting competitive pricing on second phone?

Coverage amount is how much your product is worth and you pay with in that price range. Like you said for $5 to 6 your price range of the product you brought must be 50 to 100 dollars one time payment for 2 years of.the protection plan. This is good because the company that you buy the product from would want you to come out of your pocket for packing and shipping. On top of that you might have to pay a deductible. So Square Trade would be your best bet.

The currently correct answer from Square Trade is, "SquareTrade Protection Plans sold on Amazon only cover new products purchased within the last 30 days" (http://www.amazon.com/SquareTrade-Computer-Accident-Protection-700-800/dp/B002I007QW/ref=si_dp_po_B002I007QW_t).

The coverage starts approximately 2 days after purchase. I received mine on the 22nd of October, and the coverage started on the 24th of October!! Once you get their paperwork from Square Trade, your coverage has generally already started. You MUST contact Square Trade to register your tablet. They need the information off of the tablet.

Thanks for your reply - yeah I missed the deal but I haven't made a purchase yet. Maybe there'll be another deal... hopefully.

Pretty sure you cannot. I believe their policy is that you have to buy the coverage within 30 days of the purchase. Double check with them to be certain, but I can think of no workaround.

From the first line of the Technical Details: "With pre-order, your credit card will be charged for the protection plan at the time of purchase, but your coverage will not start until your Kindle is shipped" Seems pretty clear to me.

Probably too late for you, but I just called Warrentech, and they only cover items purchased on Amazon, they will not cover a Best Buy purchase

I'm not all that sure whether they cover electronics like computers or not. I did get the coverage for a wireless router and booster combination but ended up sending the item back so I cancelled the coverage. I know they were very good to work with. But that was through Amazon so I'm not sure how they'd react if I went up against them alone. Amazon actually got me the full refund for what I paid to Smart Guard. I do know they cover a LOT of stuff... ask them. They'll tell you whether or not they will. If the computer you're buying has a "smart guard" offer with it then yeah, they'll most likely cover it.

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, ????

It depends - Square Trade will allow the warranty to be purchased on certain NEW items after you bring them home & only for a limited time after the purchase. I had checked into it for an IPOD, did not bother with the warranty, saw no need. However, it was offered at that time for up to 3 months into the purchase/ownership, after which they would not cover the item. Hope that helps with your question....I would check with Square Trade - & - my experience with them was hideous, so frankly I would not buy one of their Warranties anyway.

I purchased the coverage and then didn't get the item i needed to put it on. I then tried to cancel the purchase within 5 min and they would not cancel it. So I have no idea what the coverage is.

Hi Alan. I've purchased four different Square Trade Protection Plans over the past three years on electronic purchases. I was e-mailed the plan information and it was already activated within two hours of purchasing the plan. I was also sent a "bar coded fax cover sheet" from Square Trade with item description, warranty ID information, etc. to have and use if I needed to use the warranty. All in all, it's not a bad protection plan for the money if you ever need to use it. Especially with expensive electronic purchases. Hope this helps you out. Good luck. Jim.
