    I bought a Razer Lachesis mouse retail ($84.99). At the checkout the cashier told me for $14.99 I get a 2 year warranty with the mouse from the store. Seemed like a good investment so I bought that as well. So I go home and look at the manual, go to the Razer website and I see that it automatically comes with 2 year warranty from Razer.

    I'm wondering if Razer warranty covers Canada. If Razer does, then I'll just refund the warranty I paid in the store. Does anyone know?

    No reason why it won't cover. Most of these extended warranties are just BS anyway.

    The warranty I bought in the store is separate warranty from Razor. Not extended.

    So the Razer warranty only should be fine right?

    I would just email Razer directly to confirm.

    If Razer sells in Canada (and I'm fairly certain they do), then warranty will cover you there. Store warranties are generally a waste of money, at least as long as you're within the manufacturer's own warranty. If they had offered 4 years for that price, it would be better.

    I bought it from Futureshop. I believe the 2 years warranty from the store is separate from Razer's warranty. It's not extended up to 4 years. So I have both Futureshop's warranty and Razer's warranty, both 2 years. I think I'm gonna return the Futureshop's warranty.

    That's what I said...you basically have two overlapping warranties.
