What is dealer's warranty?

[amohican]

I wanted to buy a canon digicam ( S5 is )but i found that warranty is being provided by dealer/seller.I want to know what is the difference between manufacturer's warranty & dealer's warranty?Normally when we buy some electronic good from a shop we get manufacturer's warranty.Can anyone please enlighten on this?

Dealer's warranty suggests the product is a grey market product or OEM and hence has no manufacturer warranty cover. (In the case of digicams they are grey market).

The dealer's however provide a warranty of their own if something goes wrong for a period of one year and most of the times you just have to pay for spares, parts etc. but not the labor charges. However you will probably have to bear the shipping charges to and fro from the dealer.
Buying a product with no manufacturer warranty is a personal decision as you will save money compared to the market price but if something goes wrong within one year, you'll have to cough up extra money to get it fixed.

Hello amohican,

A dealer’s warranty is provided by the dealer/seller at his own discretion. This might be with or without the manufacturer’s warranty. An item with a manufacturer’s warranty can be availed at any of the authorized centers of the Brand/Manufacturer however a seller/dealer’s warranty can only be availed from that particular seller/dealer.

Hope this answers your query and if not please feel free to write back on this thread 🙂
