Wow, I cant keep up......I dont know what SP does, Im not speaking for any company...Im just trying to sort things out a bit.....but there is authorize and unathorized right now whether we like it or not......and thats with almost every product....I agree you should be able to fix your reg, but alot of people that probably shouldnt be fixing them might try to...then the lawyers would be lined up for letting just anyone repair the items and more people could be injured or dead....this is probably better for the majority......
You might feel its an unlevel playin field with MAP pricing, i see it the other way around....I think it levels out the playing field for the smaller guys(like me) that would normally be killed by the bigger companies(you know who)....I dont make up the pricing....
sorry about jumping around
If your authorized to sell it, wouldnt you want to just take it there and have it fixed right away? And what does Target or Best Buy do? THey offer their own extended warranty and/ or they can fix it if in warranty.....( not target, but thats only one chain) If you do buy from target and it breaks, what do you do? Go back and get a new one?? Send it to get it fixed and deal with the Manuf.?? Big difference....You buy from me, I Fix it, or I replace it.....right there.......No need to wait months or anything else.....I think this is great.....How often before a trip do you start messing with your gear to find out maybe something doesnt work? Most people dont plan ahead....if you had to send it in to get fixed? You wouldnt have it for your trip.....I think its great that LDS repair equipment and are authorized repair centers.....
And I have never seen a Samsung, Sony, Toshiba, or anything else repair center....If you want something fixed you go somewhere and pay the guy to fix it(local repair place)....and that you have to pay for......Its not often if ever that a dealer sets up a store for you to go get stuff fixed at....at least I have never seen one....but I spend alot of time in my store and underwater
Damn I probably missed something and Im sorry....OVERLOAD
