Biostar TF7050-M2 warranty ?

[tooat]

Hi !!!

Has anyone here ever had to avail themselves of warranty service for your Biostar motherboard bought thru ZipZoomFly AFTER the Biostar website stated one year period has expired ? Did Biostar honor ZipZoomFly's website stated 2 year warranty period ?

I was researching the Biostar TF7050-M2 and find ZZF says it has a 2 year warranty but
Newegg says 1 year. If Biostar honors ZZF's warranty statement, then that is a better deal than Newegg's. A strong motivation to buy from ZZF, plus the free shipping sweetins the deal. But if ZZF's warranty statement is wrong then not nice to mislead the comsumer. I see ZZF states they are not liable for misprints on their site...

So back to the point of all this...has anyone ever gotten warranty service from Biostar for a board bought from ZZF AFTER more than one year has passed ?

I really like that Biostar TF7050-M2 and it is on my short list for the next build. Thank you for reading this and good day.

ZZF Return Policy

Products sold by ZipZoomfly are covered by our 30-day return period

Biostar's Warranty

All authorized Biostar distributors and resellers should honor and offer a 1-year warranty on new Biostar products.

What happens when the reseller won't do RMAs past 30 days? Biostar considers it "out of warranty."

If you need to send the board back to Biostar for out-of-warranty service, please note that a flat $30.00 USD, non-refundable, service charge will apply.

Basically with some motherboard brands, the manufacturer will not take end user RMAs without a fee. If you buy from a place that won't cover the entire duration of the warranty, then your warranty is essentially whatever their return period is, which is usually 30 days.

Biostar charges a significant handling fee for any warranty service (about $30).

I understand the situation better. I am going to stick with brands with clearly stated warranty policies.
Which narrows the field to Asus, Abit, Gigabyte, and MSI.

ty for the help...tooat
