the shops are earning a heck of a lot selling those extended
warranties.. because by the time ur electrical appliances die, u

or, u totally forgot u have an extended warranty ...
this was told to me by someone inside this industry.. he told me
no need to spend $ buying those extended warranty..
haha. a friend working for harvey norman said the same thing
