Why are you repairing anything for free? This really sounds like a you problem. Stand up for yourself, charge reasonable rates and stop calling people idiots.
- notriddle 5y agoBecause you have a warranty contract to fulfill.
- guerrilla 5y agoThe warranty is void if the seal is broken though, so how is that not a moot point?
- ben_w 5y agoThis thread is specifically complaining about the warranty seal being a violation of the Magnuson-Moss Act: > Here are some examples of prohibited tie-in sales provisions … “This limited warranty shall not apply if the warranty seal has been broken, removed, erased, defaced, altered, or is otherwise illegible,” where a device cannot be repaired without such effects. https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/businesspersons-guide-federal-warranty-law https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/bus...
- nomel 5y agoIn some countries, it's law that warranty work is for free. Of course, it's built into the cost of the unit, but they can't charge when the claim comes in.
- AussieWog93 5y agoAre there countries where repair during the warranty period isn't free? I thought that was implied by the word "warranty".
- tremon 5y agoYes, in NL for instance. If you buy a new car and wrap it around a telephone pole during the warranty period, the manufacturer is not going to pay for the repairs. Point being: not all repairs are due to manufacturing defects -- and neither are defects the only reason to repair something. After-market modifications are also an important part of right-to-repair legislation.
