Here’s a breakdown of the two warranty types: At Ridewaystore.com Kenya, we believe in helping our customers make informed decisions. Here’s a breakdown of the two warranty types
- Dubai Warranty
- Coverage: Limited to the country of origin (usually UAE/Dubai). Not valid in Kenya.
- Repairs: If the item is faulty, the warranty only covers service in Dubai. You’ll have to ship it back (at your own cost), or get repairs done locally—often at your expense.
- Price: Products with Dubai warranty are usually cheaper because the seller isn’t covering future repair costs locally.
- Ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers or those who are confident in the brand’s quality and willing to handle repairs independently.
- East Africa Warranty
- Coverage: Valid across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and other East African countries.
- Repairs: Local authorized service centers handle repairs—free of charge during the warranty period.
- Peace of mind: You’re protected if your item develops faults within the covered period.
- Price: Slightly higher due to local service and support.
- Ideal for: Buyers who prefer after-sales support and a worry-free purchase.
So, Which One Should You Choose?
If you’re looking for affordable deals, Dubai warranty might work for you—especially for trusted brands. But if you value local support, convenience, and peace of mind, go with an East Africa warranty.
At Ridewaystore.com, we clearly indicate the warranty type for every product. Shop smart, ask questions, and choose the warranty that suits your needs best.
