Amazon experimenting with Option to turn off Shopping Cart Warranty/Service Upsells for 3 Months
Amazon.com is apparently experimenting with a new feature to decrease customer irritation and increase checkout speed. Now when you add something in your shopping cart that may be eligible for optional Extended Warranties or other Service Plans, you are given an option to turn OFF these kind of upsells for three months. This is probably linked to an Amazon account, so you’d have to be logged on to your Amazon account to make this stick.
Here’s an annotated screenshot crop of what to look for ~ you may not notice it if you are moving quickly through the longer version of the checkout process:

The Sony Zeiss Sonnar T* FE 55mm F1.8 ZA E-mount goes for $900 at authorized USA dealers, but they are can bundle it with free items, and Adorama is bundling it with a $50 Adorama Gift Certificate for the same price of $900… On the other hand, if you want to go the imported grey-market route, you can get it in new condition with a 3-year warranty from the seller (not Sony Zeiss) GetItDigital on eBay for $763 with free shipping…
Imported Fuji X-T1 Body w/1yr Seller Warranty for $679
The Fuji X-T1 body only goes for $1000 in new condition at authorized Fuji USA dealers which are allowed to include free items with it, for example, B&H Photo includes the official Fuji battery grip for it, while Adorama includes a variety of general-purpose accessories.
But if you are comfortable with buying imported grey-market items that come with a 1-year seller warranty (not from Fuji USA), then to the Trending eBay Deals we go where eBay seller “Electronics Valley” (99.6%, ships from New Jersey) is offering the new condition imported grey-market Fuji X-T1 Body Only for $679 with free shipping with a limit of five units per customer.
As usual with imported items, it is up to you to decide on a per item basis whether the risk is worth the lower price. We blog, you decide!
