German serial number

Former Member

Hello,

I live in Germany, and I'm considering purchasing eTrex 30 from abroad. Does the etrex 30 have a German serial number in case of guarantee?

Thanks.
  • No, it has a Garmin serial number. You might want to contact Garmin Customer Support to see whether a GPS bought outside Germany would still be under warranty and repairable/replaceable via a German dealer :confused:

    This is what the UK website says, note the repair etc is via Garmin International so I suspect the warranty is world wide, but best to seek confirmation.

  • I can confirm what Sussamb says, your warranty is worldwide. U can buy your Etrex20 where ever u like, and if there is a problem with it, u can send it in for repair or replacement in Germany.

    I heard that there might be problems with international warranty if I buy a Garmin product on eBay. Can you confirm/deny?

    Thanks guys!
  • See here from Garmin FAQ:

    Question: Can I purchase Garmin products from eBay?

    Answer:
    Garmin does offer a limited number of new products for sale on the Garmin eBay store with a Buy It Now option. The full Garmin warranty is provided on these products. If refurbished Garmin products are available on Garmin's eBay store, these will also have the full Garmin warranty. You may access Garmin's eBay store by using the link stores.ebay.com/Garmin.

    Other online auctions of Garmin products on eBay do not offer these same benefits. Products sold through online auctions are not eligible for rebates or other special offers from Garmin. Online auction confirmations are not accepted for warranty verification. To obtain warranty service, an original or copy of the sales receipt from the original retailer is required. Garmin will not replace missing components from any package purchased through an online auction.
