Hi. I chose the extended warranty when I checked out through Amazon. I believe it was somewhere around the ballpark of $12 to $15 and it was through SquareTrade. I thought this was great because I've been doing business with Square Trade for years on electronics I purchase over $100. It should still be offered when you add electronics or appliances to your cart and proceed to the checkout. I can't advise you on other warranties offered but I can with Square Trade. You can also go to their (Square Trade) website and enter in the type of item and the cost and it will give you a price on a two or three year warranty. Let me know if you have any more questions. Good Luck, Jon

I would consider square trade on amazon instead..almost same price but for 3yrs coverage and a better track record than smart guard.Actually, BBB has lots of complaints that were resolved by refunds of the coverage- hence they keep their A rating, but don't pay out claims.

This item is being sold directly the Amazon and the warranty is with square trade. We have no affiliation with them so we are unable to provide comment.

Yes, as M. Russell mentioned, Squaretrade is one of several available 3rd party protection plans. At the moment, you can purchase this tablet for $99.99, and Squaretrade offers a protection plan for $15 on tablets costing under $100. Their protection plan claims to cover all manufacturing defects, wear and tear issues, and accidents (including drops and fluid spills) for up to 2 years from the date of purchase. Just note that in order to get the protection, you have to sign up for the protection plan within so many days of purchasing the tablet. You can't wait 6 months, have an accident with it, and suddenly decide to get a protection plan. Yes, as M. Russell mentioned, Squaretrade is one of several available 3rd party protection plans.

The detail in the listing states: Product Features 2-year coverage from date of purchase: drops, spills & hardware failures I have several phones with them covered; two recently that the warranty was applicable to; Square Trade did exactly what they said they would do; without exception. For one phone able to workout a new phone with ATT and ST paid what they would have; the 2nd is being repaired under warranty less the deductible. Both done to my satisfaction. I have several other warranty's with them; the way they handled the several phones provides confidence to use them. For the most part, we have had no claims on all the policies so knowing how they have handled the cell phones gives piece of mind that we have coverage if we need it; the warranty is with it in my opinion. My better than the cell phone company's that has deductibles too. You can also go to Square trade website to view 2 year plan which costs $125 vs $99. http://www.squaretrade.com/smartphone-warranty

I ordered my kindle warranty from Square Trade Warranty's, when I ordered my Kindle White. (it was also to ship about 4 weeks out) about a week before I actually received my Kindle, Square trade warranty sent me my actual warranty via email. I contacted Square trade customer service when the Kindle arrived. I explained the Kindle came today and they started the warranty before I had the Kindle. The customer service rep had me send him the tracking number while I was on the phone. He verified it and changed my warranty start date without any problems.

I don't think so, I think that the square trade is only offer for amazon customer. I had a little bit of a problem because I return my printer and I am having a problem of getting my payment back from them and I had the printer less then a month. So I kind of don't know if it is worth it or not. Now I think if I ever going to buy another electronic thing I will buy it not buy mail so that I can return it here and it will be so much easier. Hope this is helpful to you. Happy Holiday.

The one I bought is a refurb. It came with only one year of warranty, so I bought the three year Square Trade one for~$60. Still, it was less than a new one.

I hear the debates on this and both sides have valid points. For my wife and I, we can't afford to just replace everything each year. Major things like our cars and electronics we get the extended warranty. Just knowing they are covered is well worth the little we pay and we have found the square trade to very well worth it. For us its a question of not having to worry if something goes wrong. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure about this particular company offering a longer warranty, but search "squaretrade" in amazon. They offer a bunch of different warranties for different products. I haven't bought a warranty from them so I can't vouch for it personally, I just know that they offer them.

30 day warranty and then even if brought new you get a refurbished one back. then you can buy the extended warranty from amazon. It's working okay now, but the whole ordeal was a nightmare. To think you pay the extra money and then get a refurbished one back even if it is not 30 days old. and the support from rand McNally is worthless. a bunch of high tech engineers that act like you bother them when you call the rand McNally phone # for support. Giving you a bunch of bs. But with the extended warranty you can get with the square trade is worth it. at least that gives you a addt'l 3 years . 30 day warranty and then even if brought new you get a refurbished one back. then you can buy the extended warranty from amazon.

I just got off the phone with Square Trade and they said they do NOT cover refurbished items unless purchased through eBay. The ST rep said that since ST is partners with Amazon, their warranty offer automatically shows up in Amazon listings whether the item is refurbished or not, their computer can't tell the difference. Glad I called!

Yes but the best buy insurance plan is like 500 for 4 years whereas squaretrade through amazon is around 250.

Start Date: Warranty lasts two years from Kindle ship date. Your warranty plan begins on the date your Kindle shipped (or when your Kindle ships for pre-ordered devices) and is inclusive of the manufacturer warranty period. Manufacturer's warranty and SquareTrade warranty overlap = first year covered by Amazon (manufacturer) and SquareTrade, second year covered by SquareTrade.

Now that's a hard one. Personally, if it's $249.99 I would go with the $250-$300, but since technically it still falls beneath $250 by a penny then you may have to go with the $200-250. If push comes to shove, try calling SquareTrade to get their opinion since you're getting it with them. If something happens to your tablet, they reimburse you the tax as well, so if it goes over $250 then you can go with the $250-300. Again, call to make sure since my tablet was within the $0-100. Didn't see the price range when I made the review until long after hitting submit.
