Here it's cheaper to import 2 of something than to buy locally, so warranty is usually a non-factor for me. But, in general it's a good reason to avoid forwarding services (especially if your part of the world has strong consumer protections like Europe typically does).
- OJFord 5y agoHow does that not mostly arbitrage itself away? i.e. import two as you say and stick one on eBay or whatever's popular?
- nisegami 5y agoWell, the one I'd be selling doesn't have a warranty either. And if someone is okay with that, they can just import it themselves and cut out my profit share. If I were to order enough to get a bulk price and potentially undercut ordering it oneself, there's likely an expectation of a warranty of some kind being available.
