SquareTrade’s claim process is painless. Start a claim online or over the phone. Express shipping is free to and from SquareTrade’s depot, and you’ll be sent a special shipping box for fragile electronics. You’ll receive email updates at every step in the process so you’ll never be left in the dark:
Five-Day Service Guarantee: SquareTrade will reimburse the full item price or fix your item and ship it back within five business days of receiving it at the depot, or your Care Plan is free. Some restrictions may apply.
Hassle-Free Coverage
SquareTrade has designed the Care Plan with your needs in mind. They make it easy for you to:
Manage it online. You can view, print, cancel, transfer, and even file a claim online and keep tabs on its progress.
Cut the paperwork. You can fax or email SquareTrade your item receipt at any time, and they will store it as proof of purchase.
Cancel anytime. In the first 30 days, you may cancel for a full refund. After that, you are reimbursed the unused part of your service plan – e.g., if you cancel your 3-year service plan, after 18 months with no claims, you’ll get 50% of your money back.
Transfer at no cost. When your device changes ownership, so can your care plan. Transfers can be done online or via phone.
No refurbished replacements. The last thing you want when your item breaks down is a cheap refurbished item that is two generations old. If your item breaks and can’t be fixed, you will be reimbursed your full item replacement cost.
As Seen On:
Other Things You Should Know:
Upon purchase, you will get an email. This is your official confirmation of a purchase. The email will also have a link to the "My Warranties" section on the SquareTrade website where you can view and manage your Care Plans. You will not get a paper contract unless you request one.
Please read the terms and conditions in the .pdf file at the top of the page. There is an easy to understand 2 page summary with all the highlights you need to know.
Cell Phones: There is a $50 deductible on ADH claims. SquareTrade has waived the ADH claim deductible for all other types of items.
ADH Timing Issues: Care Plans with ADH must be bought within 30 days of item purchase. If your Care Plan is bought on the same day as your item, accident coverage starts on day 1 of purchase. If you buy your Care Plan on a later date than the item, accidents occurring in the first 30 days are not covered.
Coverage lasts two to three years from item purchase date. The coverage length is described in the Care Plan title. Your plan begins on the date you purchased your item and is inclusive of the manufacturer warranty period. If your item arrives late, call SquareTrade and your plan can be extended to the shipping date. If you have an issue and are covered by the manufacturer at that time, you’ll be directed to the manufacturer first.

Customer Reviews
Product has no comparison I don't know how anyone could create a better product. Not only is the price far more competitive than any similar warranty service, when i actually had a claim the speed of approving and fulfilling it was outstanding. Within a day of submitting my claim I was given a prepaid label to ship the item to them. Within one day of receiving it they approved the claim and within three more days I was granted a payment directly to my paypal account. With this kind of service I don't know how competitors are going to stay in the market.
Best Warranty The best warranty service you can get. Don't bother with the store's offers go here, quick and reliable service. I had to return 2 items so far and I had no problems and was refunded completely.
Best warranty I've ever used My husband is accident prone and I knew if I didn't buy the extra accident protection for his new Zune, I would regret it. After two months, the Zune went through the wash and was completely ruined. I was able to file the claim completely online, print out the label, and stick it in the UPS box. In 7 days from the night I filed the claim online, I had the full purchase price of the Zune back in my Paypal account.
The price is excellent. Google Squaretrade coupon codes and you will get an extra discount on the already great price. I paid $40 for the first warranty an was sent a 50% off coupon code to use on my next purchase. Luckily, I hadn't deleted it yet and was able to use the 50% off coupon code on the warranty for the next Zune.
I like a warranty that is completely hassle-free. I can't say that about our laptop's warranty, which breaks usually every other month and is a nightmare to get it fixed. I didn't have to call anyone, sit on hold forever, or wait a month to get my money back. Filing online is easy and they send you emails at every step of the process to let you know what's going on.
