there is no warranty on phones (al least)
I bought a phone from tinydeal website. the phone took a long time to arrive. it got here after maybe 8 weeks. I spent around $145AUD. It worked for about 2 months. I emailed them and they siad send it back for warranty. I did this and when they received it they said it would cost $17USD to fix. This is what the manufacturer quoted them. That they would be charged this by the manufacturer. I asked about warranty but they said i had to pay for any replacement part but yes it was under warranty. After much emailing it became apparent that what they actually mean by warranty is that they will have it fixed there in china at the consumers cost and then sent it back. There is NO actual product warranty. I thought stuff that. I asked them to send back the broken phone and i would fix here (i knew i would never get my phone back by this stage). they then suddenly changed their story and said they had fixed it (expressly against my wishes from earlier emails) and i wouldn't get it unless i paid. i refused. just felt like a scam. who even knows if i would have go the phone back if i paid. they were rude and devious in there conduct with me. never again
