OKINAWA – The Okinawa Exchange offers military shoppers options to protect the valuable items they love and use every day.
With Exchange Protection Plans, Okinawa Exchange shoppers are covered against accidental damage from handling portable electronics as well as breakdowns from heat, dust or internal humidity and power surges, along with a no-lemon guarantee that will replace a product which fails three times for the same reason.
Plans are available for electronics, jewelry, appliances, sunglasses, lawn and garden items and more and include 100% parts and labor coverage, worldwide protection and in-home service on qualifying items.
“Okinawa Exchange shoppers can rest easy knowing that the Exchange’s protection plans and warranty options have them covered for their most important purchases,” Foster Main Store Manager Roland Guerra Jr. said. “Adding the peace of mind of full coverage and preparing for the unexpected means your new products will be taken care of if the worst happens.”
Plans vary from one year to lifetime warranties and start as low as 2% of the eligible item’s price.
Electronics with Wi-Fi connectivity receive additional benefits with an Exchange Protection Plan, including 24/7 tech support to assist with device setup, smart home integration, internet troubleshooting and more.
Shoppers can add AppleCare+ protection when buying Apple products like laptops, phones, smart watches and tablets to cover screen damage, theft, batteries and more. AppleCare+ includes support direct from Apple experts, allowing shoppers to receive service from those who know the product best.
Warranties are available for furniture and area rug purchases. With a Guardsman 5-Year Gold Complete Plus Furniture or Area Rug Protection Plan, shoppers are covered for cleaning and restoration resulting from household stains like food, beverages and pets along with accidental damage to wood or other hard surfaces.
With an Ashley Furniture Warranty, shipping and labor for repairs to defective parts are fully covered up to one year, with replacement parts remaining covered after the one-year period.
Shoppers can add protection plans at checkout both in stores and online at ShopMyExchange.com. More information can be found at ShopMyExchange.com/customer-service/warranties.
