What they say means nothing if the product goes wrong. They can tell you whatever they want to say on the phone. Tell them to put it in writing, sign it by a manager and date it. That will put an end to this whole fiasco. If they refuse, you have your answer.

I spoke to Jay, a manager with Ecotech, and no, they will not put anything in writing that is not currently on their website. Jay suggests that it's user discretion in purchasing these and that he recommends purchasing from the Canadian supplier.

I think you have your answer right there.

I simply stated they wouldn't put anything in writing to the contrary of their website.

Hi just wondering as per my post #19, where would one go for the warrenty? I want to put one of these lights on my new tank. $750 is a good price but warrenty is the make or break for me, as this is a new product.

I will have bill of sale so I could send it back for you if need be. If its anything like their mp's anyone can send it back from any country as long as its within the warranty by the manufactured date. Not sure if Radions will have manufacture date on them.

You would go to Ecotech directly or the original store in the USA. But as per Ecotech's webstite, they may do any of the following:
•Charge a service fee for any work done, warranty related or otherwise
•Refrain from providing warranty service or otherwise on any EcoTech Marine product
Additionally, if you make an international purchase from an unauthorized dealer, you may be held liable for taxes, shipping and other expenses.

They have the choice to not help you at all or make you pay for any work being done. In other words, you may not have a warranty at all, and they may even refuse to fix it for a fee.

Try buying a brand new car in the USA and getting warranty work on it.

I buy all my Ecotech equipment from the US. Why would I send it to Canada for repairs when I could send it back to the original manufacturer?

I guess this only works if you live close to the border and have access to a US address.
