Acting on another member's recommendation I too ordered an AMP direct from them in NZ.
I contacted AMP first to confirm the warranty situation.
They responded right away and advised that the unit carries a 3 year warranty.
There is no actual warranty work done in Canada.
Most of the parts are user serviceable so it's generally a case of them sending you the part.
But if it needs more than that they pay shipping both ways back to them in NZ.
I ordered an annealer, five pilots, and an extra case holder.
I used the discount code "ballistics" and got 5% off the annealer.
They charge a flat FedEx fee of US$40 which includes all of those nasty "brokerage fees" so I only had to pay HST to FedEx when it arrived.
Amazingly, it arrived in exactly seven days from when I placed the order.
Well packaged and not banged around.
That included sitting in Ottawa for 3 days over the long weekend.
AMP shipped it out the same day and it was in LA two days later.
I have got to say, "very impressive indeed".
Now for the good part...
I got the annealer, 5 pilots, the extra case holder, and shipping for almost exactly to the dollar I would have paid for one from "you know where" but without any pilots, shell holder, or shipping...
Plus, I got all the pilots I need, (they only had two of them in stock here).
Tax is tax and I saved a bit on that too paying it only on the lesser amount.
Highly recommended...
Now, if you'll excuse me I have some case prep to attend to
