Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- As yourself: Does the item come with a manufacturer’s warranty? How long does it last and what does it cover?
- Read the fine print.
- Keep the receipt or proof of purchase.
- Do the follow up, or the warranty is for naught.
Be sure to watch the video for the details on each tip.
