WestMarine Warranty To get or not get?

[wiredantz]

Would you get the one time replacement warranty on your VHF Radio if it already comes with a 3 year manufacture warranty?

What about your 1 year manufacture gps/fishfinder?


Comments please...

I absolutely get the west marine warranty on all my electronics and I only buy boating electronics from them.

If it brakes, you can take it back no box or receipt needed really no questions asked. They will just replace it. I think it is an extra 20 bucks or something. This has came in handy with my fish finder a couple times. Electronics on kayaks take a lot more abuse than on a boat. They have excellent customer service and top of the line warranty program.

True, don't forget the shipping to get it fixed is close to what WM's warranty costs.

Without Question - get the 2 Year Warranty (maximum amount) on your purchases.

Its cheap as hell, and the absolute easiest way of dealing with a broken item.

If it breaks - they hand you a New One right there on the spot. No dealing with a manufactured that will make you jump through hoops of fire to get a repair done/ or maybe de nigh your claim.

Look at it this way:
-The cost of the Westmarine Warranty is approximately what you would have to pay in shipping alone if you had to deal with the manufacturer - and you won't lose 8 weeks waiting for the unit to be returned.

Capice? - thats Italian for - do you understand

I ditto everyone!

I got it on my FF cause it was so cheap, and from what everyone told me its no hassle with them at all. Not to many places that will take back electronics as easily as they do.

All the above plus, check Google Shopping to find the best price on the internet and print the page so they will price match!!!

I second this one. I have known people that have purchased from other places than West Marine and took the item to them for help, and West Marine assisted them as if they purchased the item there. West Marine is the best place to purchase your Marine electronics.
