Cheap parts on Amazon with a warranty?

[jannmayer]

So I just noticed that Amazon will sell you a 2 year warranty on pretty much anything for a bit under 10% of the product cost. I used this warranty once on a Kindle, and they refunded the money without a hassle.


I think I'm going to try this out on some cheap pedals (ZERAY ZP-108S). It only adds about $3 over Aliexpress and it should ship faster. The warranty claims to cover wear and tear as well as defects, so it could actually be a good deal...


Anyone else used the Amazon warranty on bike parts?

I am curious as well. It would be a good safe source for parts.

After nearly two years, the ZERAY pedals weren't holding up too well. One of the bolts fell out and I couldn't find a replacement. They are a bit difficult to clip ion and out of despite the tension being quite loose. The bearing on the left pedal is getting stiff, and I haven't been able to find a socket thin enough to remove the nut on the spindle. I still had about a month on the 2 year warranty I bought through Amazon, so I returned them today and got a refund. It was a quick and painless process, so I will definitely consider doing that again.

if it's sold from amazon as the seller, then they will honour any warranty issues. i returned my polar h10 after 18 months no questions asked, they just sent me a return label straight away.

I've started checking to see if some of the ali stuff is available on amazon. If the price is not too inflated, I'll buy through amazon for shipping speed and easy return policy.

Just a heads up. If you buy an Elite Wheelset from Amazon, Elite seems quite responsive in terms of honoring any defects or issues.
