Much has been stated about some tungsten carbide ring retailers finding ways to invalidate your “lifetime warranty” when something minor has been done to your ring, such as an engraving. Not to belabor the point, but do not fall prey to retailers who are quick to invalidate your warranty. These retailers simply try to find a way to not honor part of your ring purchase – the warranty!
Not to completely scare you away and make you think that all online retailers out there are simply there to take your money and you are stuck with your product if something goes wrong – that is far from the truth. There are many reputable retailers that will honor your warranty. However, it is important to be weary of retailers who appear to be reputable by honoring their lifetime warranty on a ring you engraved, but then charge a hefty fee in order to allow you to redeem your lifetime warranty.
Charging you to honor your warranty is yet another way for a retailer to deter you from using your lifetime warranty. This type of behavior by a retailer is deplorable. The warranty is part of what you already paid for, and not something that you should then have to pay to be able to use later on, when you actually need it.
Aside from engraving, most reputable retailers will offer a lifetime sizing warranty. Lifetime sizing allows a consumer to exchange his or her wedding band for a different size should his or her ring size change over time. People gain and lose weight, especially after marriage. It is far from uncommon. You don’t want to be without your favorite pants AND wedding band, simply because you gained weight. It is important to keep this in mind as well. A lifetime sizing program can definitely be very helpful and something you should look into when researching retailers.
Remember to always search for a retail that offers a completely free Lifetime Guarantee and Lifetime Sizing for all of your tungsten rings. No fine print. No hidden fees.
