My 1st k Fire HD I got at Radio Shack Also got 3-$10 coupons
My 2nd I got from a lady that purchased hers from B.Buy...she paid $200 I paid her $130
She never opened the box so Both warrenty started when I reg them to my account. I still received the same Great CS on Both inc was told I could return them to Amazon within 30 days if I didn't like them. So I see no differences in going thru Amazon or to a B&M store. & in Both cases I got to open the boxes & exam them before I purchased them.
BTW the 1st K3 I got from Amazon I had to Pay S&H the 2nd I had to Pay Taxes + S&H So I ask Where was I saving anything??
