When you buy IT infrastructure products, are you buying with or without a lifetime warranty?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When it comes to buying IT hardware and accessories<\/a>, buying is about specs, price, and quality, usually in that order. Packaging, deals, and bells and whistles are nice, but they mean little if the product doesn\u2019t meet the standards.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what about warranties on the product? Are those a perk, or are a requirement? Do warranties really mean anything?<\/span><\/p>\n

As far as the \u201cpay extra, get some limited coverage<\/em>\u201d types of warranties, the value is up to you, but we have our doubts. This is because we believe every seller should offer a free lifetime warranty to the original owner without an extra cost (<\/span>it\u2019s why we do it!<\/span><\/i>). <\/span><\/p>\n

For network products that rarely break<\/a>, there\u2019s no risk to the seller to back it up with a lifetime warranty. It\u2019s negligible for the seller to absorb the rare inconvenience. Even if you, the buyer, agree with the seller that a product is very unlikely to have issues, it does no harm to add a lifetime warranty on top of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best kind of warranty should be available on most products without haggling or price increases. It’s the standard protocol here at CablesAndKits, and it\u2019s why many of our loyal customers continue to purchase from us.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"IT<\/p>\n

Why It\u2019s So Easy for Good Companies to Provide a Lifetime Warranty<\/b><\/h2>\n

It shouldn\u2019t have to come down to only dollars and cents for the seller when there\u2019s so much value for the consumer, but here it is in simplest financial terms: Lifetime warranties are not expensive to offer and uphold.<\/span><\/p>\n

Providing a lifetime warranty won\u2019t significantly affect the sticker price or the service quality, and it won\u2019t destroy the company\u2019s bottom line.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why? Because first off, warranties replace items at their production cost, not their sticker price. None of the markups should count as a loss, because it\u2019s unlikely that a consumer was going to replace the broken unit by buying a brand new one from the same company that just let them down.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next is the fact that IT products typically drop in production and sale price over time. So, even if the seller fears the cost of replacing an item years in the future, for the most part, that cost will be depreciated to only a small fraction of the original cost. Some items might even become obsolete, meaning that the customer will just choose not to use their warranty because they have a negligible need for the same exact item by the time it fails.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, CablesAndKits<\/a> doesn\u2019t just stop at the lifetime warranty offer, we\u2019ll also send you an advanced free replacement the moment you let us know your product failed so your downtime is minimized and the problem is quickly resolved.<\/span><\/p>\n

Buy From Sellers With Your Best Interest In Mind<\/span> In Action<\/b><\/h2>\n

For us, the lifetime warranty is primarily about standing behind our customers and supporting them when they need it most.<\/strong> With our extensive testing, we even find brand new products fail, so the coverage is about protecting you.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the core, lifetime warranties should be a basic offering for no additional cost, not some complex sales trick. Ask any potential IT hardware sellers about what products have a lifetime warranty and treat that as the rule, not the exception.<\/strong> It speaks volumes about the seller and will lead to a better overall experience as a technician in the buyer\u2019s seat.<\/span><\/p>\n
