« on: May 22, 2014, 08:47:01 pm »
I always do because I am a clumsy person that drops and breaks things often but i always wonder if others do. Do you?

I do. Makes me feel better having that little guarantee in case something goes wrong. My mom just got a kindle fire and she debated getting the protection plan for it. But I talked her into it because knowing her something might happen to it, haha.

I don't.  some come with a warranty.  And even it you purchase an extra plan there are usually so many exceptions you don't get your money back or a new one anyway.

nope never i think that they are a waste of money since the warranty when reading the fine print will typically only cover problems with the manufacturing of the product and not you dropping the item or other human interactions.

It depends on the item and how much it costs.

Sometimes I'll get the warranty and sometimes I don't bother, depending on the price of the thing in question, and also my experience with companies and their warranties in the past. Some are bad about customer service for warranties.

I rarely but a warranty for products I buy....unless it is new technology or something I cannot fix.  They seem to be really expensive and not always worth the money,,,,,but then, I don't have children using the items so I can be pretty careful with things.
