COULDNT HAVE GONE ANY WORSE!! This is the worst company I have ever purchased from!! Our plasma set 1 year old stopped powering on. Service was initiated through Squaretrade, parts received. Service tech showed up, lowered tv from stand by himself, offered to help, he declined. He picked up a 60 inch plasma, approx 80lbs by holding it at the top and lower corner of one end ( Samsungs manual instructs 2 or more to move as the screen can be easily damaged) removed and replaced one part, one part was not correct. He placed the set backon the cabinet screen facing the wall and informed that he would not be back, out of town or something New tech showed up the next week when new parts arrived. New parts did not fix the non power issue. tech ordered additional parts. these. Technician installs these parts and after four total visits finds this set cannot be fixed because the screen is broken. It did not have a broken screen when first tech inspected tv It was broken by tech handeling. Obviously these techs would not have performed service if the screen had been broken, it is actually the screen behind the outer glass. The outer glass shows no sign of damage. At this point Squaretrade has made a decision that the screen damage voids warranty. I asserted if the reason this was not working was because of this damaged screen the tech would have seen and noted this at the beginning. What kind of tv repair tech would come to a job that the set is not powering on and miss a broken screen. The first tech actually turned the screen towards the wall prior to leaving. (lwas he hiding the damaged screen) After a week it is found. Its is Squaretrade's responsibility to have technicians on sight that can fix issues and not due further damage. I am out a $3000 plasma tv that can no longer be fixed thanks to SQUAREtrade. NOTHING SQUARE ABOUT THESE GUYS,THEY ARE CROOKS. Finds another insurance provider. CHEAPER ISNT ALWAYS BETTER

Got email today 10/28/15 that the check was in the mail!
Description of Work: Maytag dishwasher, 1 year old, dont buy one, circuit board went out. Square Trade called and said they looked at service providers and that the cost to repair the dishwasher would almost deplete the amount they would warranty, whish is the cost of the appliance, and that would not leave enough to repair the appliance again should it break down again, they would just send a check for the amount paid for the dishwasher so I could go buy a new one. Who does that anymore? Actual customer service...wow, I thought those days were gone. Thank You Square Trade. I highly recomend this company to everyone on Angie's List !

I had two separate extended warranty contracts with this company for an 10" Electronic Tablet and an Electric Toothbrush. Both failed in the warranty period and they honored the warranty at full purchase price. They provided a return shipping label and immediately sent me a check for one and an Amazon.com coupon for the other based on my choice. Exceptional service.

Poor service. Did not honor their warranty. Failed to return my laptop and failed to honor my warranty. We are filing a claim with the FTC, and BBB, and small claims court. They said they were goign to repair my laptop, but instead they sent us the hard drive and never sent us anything like this. Their actions with us are thuggish. We will never trust them. All their support are in India and have no support whatsoever. Nothing was said to us that was honest. We will NEVER use them and we are cancelling all our warranty we purchased with them.
Description of Work: We purchased a warranty from squaretrade fro our laptop. They are failign to honor the warranty.

It took actually hours on the phone to fix a very simple problem. Each person I talked to told me something different... Finally I asked for a manager and was told that the manager would tell me the same thing. But the manager fixed the problem immediately. There seem to be many 1st level people that need more training in customer service.
Description of Work: There was a mixup on two of my phone contracts.

If there were a grade higher than "A", Square Trade would get it! We have warranties on all of our cell phones. They sent a replacement phone for my daughter along with a prepaid shipping label, so it was very easy for her to have all her data transferred to the new phone and send back the old one, even while away at college. They were able to temporarily change my address so it was sent directly to her at college a few hours away from home.The phone rep understood that it's a safety issue for her to have a phone while away at school, and offered me that option. I didn't even have to ask! They shipped the new one so quickly, she got it before I was able to open and read the shipping tracking email! My Galaxy S4 suddenly developed a serious battery issue a couple of days ago - it gets very hot and swells and the phone shuts off if I try to use the internet, even when at 80% power. Online research showed that Samsung has been aware of problems with that battery model. When I called Samsung, they wanted me to send in my battery and if their testing showed it as defective, they would send me a replacement. This could take several weeks, during which time I would not have a phone unless I purchased a new battery anyway. I then called Square Trade, and my new battery will arrive for free by the end of the week. I also had a warranty on my Oreck air cleaner. The handle on the filter snapped, making it almost impossible to remove. Square Trade sent me a free shipping label and Fed Ex picked up the box from my home while I was at work. Within a few days, I had a check refunding my purchase price. I recommend Square Trade to everyone I know and will use them on all of our electronics and cell phones from now on!

They warrantied a TV that went bad that was almost 3 years old. I received a check in the mail today for the full price minus the taxes of what I paid for it. It was well worth the warranty that I bought through them.
Description of Work: I bought a TV through Costco and purchased an additional warranty though SquareTrade, which gave an additional 2 years on top of the Costco Warranty.

BTW: This form is frustrating as all my dealings were on the internet? there was no street address.. but Angie's list insisted on one so I gave them one.. Not user friendly...
Description of Work: This is an extended warrantee on an Apple iPad… It came through Amazon.. I won't know if it is valuable until it is used… So I can't say for now… Apple's is a great extended warrantee.. but it wasn't available.. So time will tell… It also was part of a gift so my brother will be the one who gets to try it out if needed. Not sure on the price.. it was a couple of months ago… but it seems fair;

it went really well, but did take some time. replacement parts were sent overnight delivery but we had to find local repair person as we live in a remote, rural community. once the repair failed, replacement funds were offered and were reasonable to buy a comparable new tv.
Description of Work: attempted to repair 3 year old tv on extended warranty. When repair did not fix set, replaced tv with new comparable set.

In January 2013 I purchased a used laptop online. The warranty that the seller offered was only 60 days, so I purchased the the warranty that the seller suggested which was, square trade. Sounded too good to be true.(Heard that one before)? 2 yrs. of warranty for my used laptop. It definitely was too good to be true! The big thing that folks don't realize is if you buy a used laptop (for example) and you purchased it for $100.00 and you need service and you call your friendly square trade,what you find out is that whatever the cost for repairs is for that first time service is deducted from the value of the item. So if your repair is say $60.00, then for the next 2 yrs. or whatever the length of the contract, they will only cover $40.00 more. A total of $100.00 meaning that they only cover repairs up to what the item is valued at. I'm sure there are folks that are reading this and saying "Hey Dude,get a life,what do you want ,a free ride. No one living on the planet,with half of a brain, would be expecting a free ride. I think that most people just don't know the right questions to ask. SHOOT ME NOW!! for just thinking that a 2 yr. warranty meant a 2 year warranty. After 2 hrs.on the phone and 2 nitros, I got a full refund (PTL)

I've purchased several warranties for various items from this company. Never had a claim until several months ago when my wine cooler started making a loud noise. I called Square Trade and told them about it asking if they could send a service man out. They informed me that instead, they would send me a check for the full purchase price of the wine cooler. I received the check the following week and purchased a new wine cooler. This company stands behind their warranties.
