Difference Between Manufacturer Warranty and Seller Warranty

Difference Between Manufacturer Warranty vs Seller Warranty

Online shopping in India is growing very fast. Now, we can buy most things online and get free delivery. But, there is an important thing most people buying gadgets online should care about. This is a warranty. Many people have faced problems in getting warranty services for products bought online. So people who care too much about the warranty and do not want to take the risk, ignore online shopping. If you are one of those, you can ignore warranty issues while shopping online just by knowing a few things. Products listed online generally come with warranty terms. We all know that Amazon, Flipkart, and other marketplaces also sell refurbished and unboxed items. This is the reason the warranty terms are always written. If the product is brand news, there will be Manufacturer Warranty. Refurbished products usually come with a seller warranty. In some unbranded products even if the product is news, there will not be Manufacturer Warranty, but a seller warranty. When Pixel 6 Pro was not officially available in India, I saw the phone listed on Amazon at a high price and seller warranty. Even if the product was brand news, it had a Seller warranty because the item was important and the brands do not provide a warranty if an individual important product to an unsupported country. I hope now you understand why checking the warranty is really important.

If these warranty terms confuse you, keep reading. In this post, I am going to explain the difference between a Manufacturer’s Warranty and vs Seller Warranty. Sellers clearly list products with warranty terms. If you check this before ordering a product, you can ignore most of the troubles.

Difference Between Manufacturer Warranty vs Seller Warranty

1. Manufacturer Warranty

If you are buying a product with a manufacturer’s warranty, you are safe. These products are genuine and you will get a proper receipt of purchase for claiming a warranty. If there is any problem with the product, you can get it repaired at any of the authorized service centers of the device manufacturer. Generally, mobile phones come with 1 year of manufacturer warranty. So, you can buy a product with a manufacturer’s warranty without thinking anymore.

2. Seller Warranty or Deal Warranty

Seller warranty is risky for online shoppers. The seller warranty is provided by the respective seller. If there is any problem with the product, you will have to go to the seller for repair or product replacement. If you are in Delhi and bought a product from the seller’s location in Chennai, you will have to go to Chennai for the repair of the product. You cannot go to authorized service centers to claim a warranty. These products are generally fake/duplicate Chinese products or products illegally imported. So buying these products means you are risking your money.

Frankly speaking, eBay, Flipkart Amazon, and a few other stores have listings with seller warranty. So, always check what kind of warranty has been mentioned in the product description. Next time when you are getting a good deal online, do not forget to check what kind of warranty the seller is offering. If the seller is offering a seller warranty, you should avoid going for that deal.

Manufacturer Warranty

Seller Warranty

  • Can be availed at any authorized store of the Manufacturer
  • Offered on the original product or official refurbished products
  • Offered by the Seller

Next time when you are shopping online, just give extra time in checking warranty terms and avoid trouble. Buy expensive products only if there is a manufacturer warranty.
