What is Amazon Warranty Policy?

After purchasing a brand-new or Certified Refurbished Device, Amazon offers a one-year warranty against manufacturing flaws from the purchase date. It is important to note that the device is only covered under ordinary customer use. The warranty will be nullified if the equipment is used in an unauthorized manner. It is also important to note that after receiving a refund, Amazon will acquire all parts and devices.

Before making a claim, it is important to note that the warranty only applies to hardware components not subjected to misuse, neglect, fire damage, or alterations. So, exercise caution. The warranty can be voided if you try to fix the item.

If any defects arise in the device during the warranty period, Amazon will, at their option and to the extent permitted by law, either:

Repair the device using new or refurbished components.
Replace the device with a new or refurbished one similar to the original one.
Give you a full or partial refund.

How to File A Warranty Claim

If you have questions about how to get warranty service for your device, it is advisable to get in touch with Amazon customer support. Typically, you will be required to deliver the device in its original packaging. If you do not have the device's original packaging for whatever reason, equally protective packaging should be used.

It is also important to note that it's your responsibility to remove any removable storage media and back up any data stored on your device. Amazon will not be responsible for any data loss resulting from repair services.

How to File A Claim Via A Service Center

Claiming a warranty is easy. If your product is covered, all you need to do is visit the closest service center for the specific product. For instance, you could visit an Apple service center to file a claim for an Apple product purchased on Amazon. The only thing you will need is a copy of the invoice. In most cases, a warranty card will not be required. A copy of the invoice will suffice in making a claim.

But what do you do if you have lost your invoice? Fortunately, Amazon allows you to download it from your Amazon account. To download a copy of your invoice, follow the guide below.

Step 1: Log in to your Amazon account.

Step 5: Download the invoice and print it out.

If the above procedure seems like a hustle, don’t worry, there is a simpler way to file a claim. You can file a claim directly via your Amazon account. Let’s look at how to go about it.
