I'm looking for plasma TV ext. warrenty. The best deal found at "newworldvideodirect.com". Are they legit?

Question

I tried BBBonline. I did not find NWV Direct, but, I"m not sure I made a proper search. They're offering 3 yr. ($1501-$2500) RepairTech ext. warrenty for $110. Others offer the same for around $200. They say they sell it wholesale is why they can offer it so cheap. I'm looking for any feedback concerning this business. Thank you

Answer 1

Pricegrabber consumer ratings have them at 4.35/5 stars.

However, they supposedly requested buyers to rate them after payment was made, before the product had even shipped. And, possibly, PriceGrabber may have dropped them altogether because of it.

There have been no user ratings on PriceGrabber for at least 6 months, possibly several years.

Reseller ratings has them at 7.81/10.

However, there were only a handful of ratings in the past 6 months.

A search on RipOffReport.com yeilded no results on several variations of the name.

My suggestion is just to search the internet for information before making your decision. When getting extended warranties, however, it's generally better to go with a well-established, reputable company. NewWorldVideoDirect is not.

IF you can, buy your TV from CostCo Wholesale. If there's not one near you, you can buy online. It costs fifty dollars a year to shop there, but it's well worth it.

Why CostCo?

Because of the warranty. The way we put it is that we give you a 100% satisfaction guarantee. We don't put time limits on it because you can't be 100% satisfied if we tell you how long you have to be so.

Meaning?

If your television completely burns out in five years, bring it back. When you spend over a thousand dollars on a tv, you are expecting it to last a good number of years. If it doesn't CostCo will refund your purchase price. Buy it online? Get your shipping and handling back too. You don't pay anything for this but your membership fee. If you return one television in ten years, you've easily made up for this just through potential cost of repairs or replacement.

Best Buy claims we sell last year's models. No we don't. We can offer lower prices because we buy in groups of 20,000 plus of ONE ITEM.

Why does the warranty work? Because we don't sell cheap stuff. We sell stuff cheaply. If a manufacturer sells us a bad product, we get a full refund. If we don't, we don't work with that manufacturer anymore. So what? One company right? But imagine if you were Toshiba and we buy over a million items from you a year when most of it costs over a thousand dollars per item. That might hurt. lol.

As far as this particular company, I've never heard of them which usually doesn't auger too well.
