HP Care Pack - Enhanced Protection for your HP Products (Part -2)

Welcome to the second blog on HP's warranty services. Before we dig deeper and share tips on decision making, please ensure you understand the basics we covered in the first blog (HP Care Packs - Part 1).

If you have decided to go for warranty services from HP, let us consider which one will suffice your needs. Each device comes with a base warranty (HP original warranty) for one year, two years - with or without onsite service. It is worth noting that the purchase and activation of an additional warranty must be completed within 90 days of the purchase of your HP product. Yes, you might want to pause and read the last line again.

It gets just a little bit complex when you know that the Care Pack benefits are different for each device type. For a printer, a laptop, an AIO (all in one), and a desktop - the care pack warranty period can differ. At TPS, we have been assisting with thousands of queries around this. We got this covered.

Accidental Damage Protection (ADP) type Care Packs cover you for accidental drops, spills, power surges, damaged or broken liquid crystal display (LCD), or even broken parts of a device under ADP warranty. You can benefit from HP's onsite hardware repair. It is amazing to see that HP offers even hardware exchange support with some of its Care Pack offerings.

These tables below should help with bringing more clarity.

What HP Care Pack guarantees:

• You won’t pay a single rupee in deductibles and fees for Care Pack service – even if we need to replace your entire device
• You will get 100% genuine HP spare parts
• You will get expert assistance - onsite and remote
• You will be provided free shipping of your device or parts within the next business day, if applicable and needed

 

By now, you would have most of the arsenal to make an informed decision on the HP Care Pack type you need for your device. To make it more simple, let us use the product category wise chart and benefits that HP Care Packs offer.

Keep your receipt handy:
Remember this always. If you receive a hardcopy then you can scan the same and keep a digital copy of the same, while having the original one neatly organized in a folder. They are very much needed during the warranty claim as well as during the warranty activation process.

Get your product registered:
A registered product is easy to track by HP. The swift tracking will ensure faster service and quicker verification, thus a smoother service experience. Some products get additional warranty if you register with the manufacturer.

Your repair technician is there to support you:
The technician you get in touch with overcall, or at a service center, is not the person to vent your frustration out at. Although they are there representatives of the company, presenting the warranty case clearly helps to make expedited decisions that are best for the company's trust and reputation.

**HP Extended Warranty pack available here is applicable only for HP Products that are less than 90 days old. Applicable only for HP Products sold by HP India.**
