Follow up to the engineered to fail pump teardown. "How can a company that guarantees it's products for life survive by making throw away products?" This is how. They don't honor warranties. Oh, sure, they'll make you go to the store (Princess Auto), call the manufacturer, go back to the store, beg, quote store policy, &c; but ultimately, the customer is left holding the bag. "No sale final until you are satisfied!". Bollocks. Though, it was a rousing round of pass the buck to behold!

    Hey at least it wasn’t your 80 pound Filipino coworker taking your call in Manila. He did take a page out of their book by repeating how a receipt is needed after it’s already been established.

    Modern “lifetime” warranties are a lie. We had a thirty year old sofa that came with an original owner lifetime warranty. The company honored it when a support spring failed. Meanwhile, the “lifetime” warranty of a sprayer pump stated that it was only 6 years…the average life expectancy of the product. The manufacturer shouldn’t have the right to redefine what “lifetime” means.

    Lifetime is the Lifetime of The product line not the customers life

    The having to produce a 'receipt' is one of the most annoying and infuriating parts of 'warranties'

    That's absolute crap. In New Zealand there are consumer rights that would force a manufacturer's claim like this to be adhered to.

    A warranty is only as good as the company that sold it. Surprisingly the harbor Freight isn't half bad
