Costco lifetime warranty?

[agentsmith101]

Everyone SAYS they have a lifetime warranty, but I called them and they said they only have a standard 6 month warranty.

 

[agentsmith101]

Anyone know?

 

[RossMAN]

Except for computers which is 6 months.

 

[Goosemaster]

I would listen to Costco. They might know what they are talking about.

That said, if you bitch long enough and long enough, it'll be lifetime for anyone that can pull it off

Computers/laptops/computer-peripherals have a 6 month warranty. As for everything else, it's up for you to use or abuse. Of course, they log every transaction and if they see you returning an exorbant amount of stuff, they may revoke your membership.

Does it mean that mp3 players have a lifetime warranty?

 

[agentsmith101]

anyone?

 

[rh71]

call and ask them specifically for electronics that are not computers.

 

[IAteYourMother]

Why ask ATOT when you could just go to costco.com? :roll:

 

[agentsmith101]

Because I couldnt find anything on costco.com and the people on the phone know jacksquat.

return policy = to that of manufactures warranty

I think you're referring to Coscto's return policy... that is not a warranty. If it's broken, I doubt they'd let you return it. The warranty is provided by the manufacturer. They are the ones you want to talk to if it stopped working. Be aware that a warranty coveres manufacturing defects, not user stupidity.

They usually don't ask questions and will take it back if broken.(not working)

ok, heres the facts:

everything BUT computers have lifetime "satisfaction guarantees" on them, for computers, they have the samee policy BUT it is limited to 6 months. they ask no questions about the product being returned. they can also pull up any recept if it was paid witha credit card (not sure about non cc purchases). i once returned a 3 year old cradked , out of production 17" lcd, and got my original purchase price in STORE CREDIT (they new it was cracked, i told them). they don't give out cash, just store credit. also, DO NOT abuse the system, but keep in mind that you do pay for this "satisfaction guarantee" as part of the purchase price, so don't be afraid to use it. manufacurer warranty period has nothing to do wth it, neither does it's appearance or its condition. as long as all the parts are there, it should be fine

where did you get these "facts" from?

 

[cirthix]

i asked the nice costco worker when i was returning the monitor and before i did that, i called them to inquire about their famous return policy.

 

[agentsmith101]

anyone actually used this for an mp3 player?

 

[slackerinabox]

Do you have to keep all the original packing material, etc?

 

[Mo0o]

I'm still amazed their computer equipment comes wiht 6months warranty

interestingly enough last year a guy in our doms had an OLD OLD OLD slow 200mhz Compaq Presario he bought for around 2500 at Costco. He had a friend that worked there, so he was able to return it AND he bought a laptop and kept a lot of his cash~

do remember how long ago this was? What I have been told could be false info, but I think it is changing or has changed to equal the length of the manufactures warranty.
