HELP WITH DELL WARRANTY

[Varun Kumar]

i am currently in the process of purchasing a dell xps 15 from the united states. but i will be shifting back to india in a month or so. i want to know how can i transfer my warranty to india.

 

i am also purchasing the 8gb ram 256gb storage option in the united states, but in india the variant offered is the 16gb ram 512gb storage, so i would like to know if they will still cover my warranty or not. 

 

if anyone has any details on how to transfer warranty to another country please let me know, i will be making my purchase before christmas, so i need this information.

 

thank you to all that respond.

I don't think it's possible or if there's a protocal in place because usually practices like this are illegal and are considered smuggling

In the recent secret shopper, Dell proved to be unreliable. 

 

No matter who you buy from, that's probably something you have to ask before purchase. 

 

Why buy a computer then mail it to India? Lots of computers are made just north of you.

oooh the taxes in India are too high, the same laptop costs almost double because dell imports it directly from wherever they make it

people buy laptops and sell them in india for cheaper because of the higher prices

Is there another company in India that's maybe less taxed? 

 

Most computers I know of are manufactured in china so it makes sense to have heavy taxes on imports from there

Best way to find out things is to contact Dell directly. If you are buying directly from Dell, they might allow international warranty (= dealing with local office). If you are buying from store, you probably have to work through that store. But best way to find out is to try ask Dell directly.

Generally where you buy the product is where the warranty is valid. Some companies might offer an international warranty, on select products. Call Dell and ask their policy.

Not sure how it works in India, but generally customs might ask about purchases made in the other country. If they see a brand new laptop they might get suspicious, and they would have a legal right to take it if they feel its entering the country illegal I would suppose. Best rule in life is not to fuck with the tax man, because the tax man always wins.
