Samsung warranty concern

[N_RIDER]

Hi, I am searching for a used Galaxy S II and came across this situation. Seller claimed the set to be from Singtel and the set is 4 months old. Lost warranty card but has the receipt and has not register online. Am I safe to proceed with the deal?

Is there a way to check e imei no. For local warranty registration like iPhone?Feel bit skeptical you see as afraid I may get a export or stolen stuff.

How does Samsung Singapore recognize local set under warranty? Is it like iPhone as long as we register online, is immaterial of presence or absence of wty card( iPhone there isn't) or receipt?

If there is some problem with the set( not wear and tear), upon claiming of warranty if by way of repair or give you a refurbished set?

Please advise, thanks....as been many years I had owned a Samsung...

sounds dodgy.. best ask him to go with u to Samsung service ctr to verify first b4 buying. Export sets also can come with receipts one.. IMEI doesnt reflect in receipts

Thanks for the replies to all brothers. I had bought the set as seller found the receipt and warranty card. Still figuring out much tricks as coming from an iPhone 4 user

brother, no need. receipt will do.

Ya receipt will do. If no receipt.no warranty card, just tell them based on production date also ok.

Is it the policy changed?

Previously i went the one at PS. The FT insist i must show them the warranty card before they do the servicing.

the FT blur ba.... been to service more than one Samsung phone no bring warranty card before.. unless is over the production date. than maybe they want to see receipt

but if it is gift , how to tell whether is local or export since no receipt?

 

[blackie83]

Remove the battery, is there a IDA sticker?

what if you bought it for a good deal and try to sell it at higher price but still less than retail..

and you dont want to show receipt to buyer.

can still claim warranty from the buyer's side???
