My pistol (Steyr) came with a warranty card for a "1 year limited warranty". How important is this to fill out and send? I am a lazy man, and if I can get good service without having to send this card, so much the better. So, necessary, highly recommended, or not necessary?
 
I always throw out warranty cards and never buy extended warranties. If the product serves my needs then I'll tell people, and probably buy another one from the same place when the time comes.

In the past gun manufacturers took great pride in standing by their product and still seem to. That applies to ammo manufacturers.

All my handguns are second-hand, however :) If I trust the seller I buy it and assume ownership, including all the consequences.

There are a few places that still sell new quality goods and stand by them. I had to make a make a claim to Memphis Shades a few years ago, the only retailer I trust these days. They sell motorcycle windshields and mounting hardware and replace nuts and bolts for free, including shipping. It's understood customers lose mounting hardware :-/
 
For heaven's sake, how much effort is involved in filling out a form, sticking a stamp on it, and dropping it in the mail? And if something does go wrong, you'd certainly look s2pid if you hadn't bothered, right?
 
See, nichols' point is sort of what I've been using to justify procrastinating on this, but obviously the logical choice is to fill the form out and be "better safe than sorry", as I certainly would look s2pid if I hadn't bothered! Logic versus apathy... why is it so difficult to choose? :D
 
Information obtained via returned warranty cards is sometimes sold to other companies to use in unsolicited mail & telemarketing calls.

Never send in a warranty card, no company will refuse you warranty service because you failed to send in the card. PROOF OF PURCHASE is about the only thing you need to worry about.

Refer to post 7 which is quite correct. Also it drives me Kra-Z when people use abbreviations like s2pid :)
