Hi All,
I have received notice today of another rise in the Sage warranty fee,and apparently was due to an insurance company discussion in the USA relating to Sages warranty plan. The new charge will be $165 retail on all sage warranty claims , excluding genuine fault, which if passed as legitimate remain free.
This fee remains the same whether regardless the amount of rod sections broken.
This is the fee if the warranty is claimed through Australian retailers, it may differ slightly if the warranty claim is sent direct to Sage, no doubt their set fee will increase but they run on a smaller fee+post/freight instead when dealing direct.
