BUYER BEWARE - PIG IN A POKE, July 10, 2005
This review is from: 3-Year Service Plan for Digital and Film Cameras (Electronics)
I was looking for an extended warranty for my Canon Powershot G6 and saw this item listed in Amazon "accessories."
Under product details they say, "Your product will be repaired if it breaks within three years of the date of purchase, subject to certain terms and conditions."
I could not find the Terms and Conditions online. I called them and spoke to a customer service representative and a supervisor (Donald). I was told THEY CANNOT PROVIDE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IN WRITING BEFORE YOU PURCHASE THE PRODUCT.
They'll TALK to you about them, but that's it.
It's disappointing that Amazon would hook up with a company that refuses to disclose the details of the contract they are selling.
If anyone knows of a reputable 3rd party warranty company for digital cameras, please post. I usually don't buy them, but . . .

A TOTAL WASTE OF $, July 16, 2005
This review is from: 3-Year Service Plan for Digital and Film Cameras (Electronics)
I agree with the previous review. I'm a firm believer in extended warranties, but if you can't find the terms, you can't trust them. My mother always said, "you get what you paid for", and the extended warranty on Ritz' own website is about 3 times this cost - but you know what you're getting and it's quality service. Skip buying thru a 3rd party and get the real deal from Ritz or Wolf directly. Better yet, take their web page into a brick & mortar store - they'll match the pricing and the store gets the credit for the sale.

Don't even think about it., October 27, 2005
This review is from: 3-Year Service Plan for Digital and Film Cameras (Electronics)
If there are no terms and conditions to view before you purchace this "service plan" they can pretty much pick and choose when and who they will assist, if they do at all. I just bought a Canon Powershot S80 and called the phone # provided for information regarding this service plan and to put it nicely I will say that I was irritated just from talking with their Q&A person. I dont even want to imagine what they would have put me through if I was trying to have my camera fixed. When I was talking to their Q&A person, he who sounded annoyed with me at best. I asked some "What If?" questions... For instance, I said, "What If my camera got rained on?" I phrased it that was intentionally. He retorted with "Well, it depends if it was "wear and tear" or "abuse". The person then went on to say something to the effect of "I dont know who would be the person that would determine whether or not it was wear and tear, but I cant tell you." Wow, thats a great help... CLICK
I would rather keep my 80$, it sounds like a loosely organized scam.
If you are thinking about getting this "Parts and services" plan, just flush your 80$ down the toilet, at least that way you get to see it spin around a few times.
Thanks for reading,
Matt
