Yes I'm sure there is a lot of happy experiences with warranty, most people that have a good experience will tell 5 people, the others that have bad experiences will tell a 100 people.. I always give credit were credits dew..

No it was a normal service program, postage usually takes a extra day to get anywhere as i live in a remote area.

I talked to my service dude about cosmetic damage voiding warranties, turns out that they have reviewed the polices, fine scratchers and worn off paint on case, chips around ports are ok, fine scratchers on the screen as in very fine are ok.. Gouges, ding's on the case, deep scratchers on screen are will void warranty. So look after your tablets, screen protectors are a must. full case and screen protector even better.
