Default I'm impressed

The store has the sales slip and has to send you a copy if requested. Just
send them the credit card info.

I have an ancient autohelm 1000, probably built when the boat was in
1979.
It stopped working last weekend, so I sent it in to Raymarine for
repair.
The day after they got it I got a call from the repair technician. He
said
they no longer stock parts for such an old model. But he took it
apart,
found a wire that needed to be soldered, made the repair, and said
he'd
charge me a modest hourly repair charge. And he'd send it back by
overnight
(my cost of course).

How many consumer electronics products do you get that kind of service
on?
What kind of service is so impressive?

He fixed the thing and is charging you for it, plus shipping. That
*should* be the way business is conducted.

Goodness, is everybody so corrupted by the
throw-it-away-and-buy-a-new-one attitude that it's "impressive" to
actually have a service technician who performs technical service??

Yes. We bought a new tv in Jan for the apt. and it went dead. I sent
in all the registration cards etc when we bought it. Emerson refused to
honor the warranty. Threw the thing out an bought a Toshiba...


Why did they reject your warranty claim? For the record it is not
necessary to send in the reg. card at the time of purchase, but
recommended. The company must honor the warranty, card or no, as long as
you have proof of purchase.

You should file a complaint with your state's attny. general.

Becasue all we had was the credit card record and not the store
receipt....
