Britax and Ebay

babygirlsmom1005 · Mar 1, 2009

I remember reading somewhere awhile ago that Britax seats bought off of ebay that Britax would not honor the warranty since the sellers on ebay are not authorized dealers. Is this correct or is my memory kicking my butt?

You're correct. Britax advises they won't honor the warranty on a seat bought from "unauthorized retailers, online auction sites, or as second hand items". That said, there are a few ebay stores that are connected w/ authorized retailers. When you buy from one of those stores, the receipt they send you will indicate it was bought from the brick & mortar, authorized retailer location. For example, SurplusBaby is the same as Albeebaby. In many of these cases, the cheaper "ebay" price is actually the same as the "online store" price when you take S&H into account.

It's true but not. I have had soooo many Britax warranty claims (really, I think it's a bit sick, but I've owned a LOT of seats) and they've never once not ever ever asked where it was from. Never. Including one that was bought NIB from eBay, never a problem.

They have never asked me where any of my seats are from. I don't believe it's true.
