We service claims within 5 days. Here's how:
We have a unique 5 day service guarantee(1). Your item's repaired or
you're paid out within five days, or your service and the warranty are both free.
We often will reimburse you the full item price(2). This is especially true for most items below $500, or if it's going to take too long or is too expensive to fix.
Working with us is easy. At time of claim, we'll give you a pre-paid UPS shipping label. For high value items like laptops, cameras and GPS, we'll also give you a free shipping box to keep your item safe. Larger items like bigger TVs and major appliances get free in-home service.
It's all in your control. You get email updates at every step, and you can always log on to our site to track your claim.
1. The guarantee only applies to US customers. For big items with in-home service, we will have assigned you a local store within 5 business days of being notified of a valid issue. We cannot guarantee repair times for in-home service since you must schedule the repairs. The guarantee does not include transit times or shipping times.
2. Payout will subtract the cost of our pre-paid shipping label if you use it: about $5-7 for most items. Repaired items are always shipped back to you at no cost to you.

Our warranties cost just 12% of the item price (major appliances and items over $1,000 are even cheaper; plasma and projection TVs a bit more).
These prices are on average 40% less than other warranties you find at retailers. SquareTrade cuts out the middleman - the retailer. We pass these savings back to you.
