I want to talk to you about buying presents (or anything new) on-line. Yes, there are some good deals out there from reputable websites, but, there are hidden problems you may not know about.
For example, a viewer sent me an e-mail today about a great price she got on a hair dryer through Amazon.com. The retail price was $200.00, but she got it for $135. She was thrilled, until she tried to register the warranty. The manufacturer refused because she hadn't purchased the dryer from an authorized dealer.
Of course, the consumer was livid, because she couldn't get a warranty for her dryer, but, even more so, because there was no disclosure before the sale. I agree, if a website like Amazon.com is not an authorized dealer for whatever .. they should tell you, up front.
Before you make an expensive purchase, call the manufacturer to make sure the sale is legitimate. Depending on the product, you could be buying a knock-off or a fake. Not for me, I hope.
