[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 365647, member: 12496"] I don't know, but I doubt Amazon is in the business of repairing flashes. They can just replace a few flashes, and still make money on the additional warranty sales. I don't know how their warranty price was decided, but I'm sure their investment is considered fail safe. $37 warranty on a $99 flash seems extremely expensive. For that much cost, I'd rather just be my own insurer.... my risk, and my gain when it doesn't fail. Amazon obviously thinks it is a good bet. I guess our viewpoint will be decided if the flash fails in first year or not. :) I've never heard a success story about sending one to China for repair. But there is advantage in buying through Amazon, in case of any early issue, they do accept returns. Try that from China. :) My YN565EX is 10 months plus, and still going strong. Almost there. :) [/QUOTE]
