Top quality Dahle shredders are pretty regulated on pricing. I seem to find the same price for the same machine everywhere I look. A new site iShopShredders just launched offering a free year of an extended warranty with every purchase. The coverage extends the life of your shredder as it kicks in when Dahle's great warranty ends. My favorite Dahle Shredders are the EC versions with the steel casing and gears - like the Dahle 20830EC for $3219.00.
From the website:
Extended Warranty from iShopShredders
If your product fails with normal use, you'll simply ship the item to one of our authorized repair
centers. It will be shipped back to you once it is fixed. If the item must be shipped freight because it weighs more than 75 lbs., we may send a technician to the site rather than having you ship it to a repair center for service. This will be determined on a case by case basis for freight items.
What it covers:
- Parts and Labor We will pay for the parts and labor when we service an item.
- No Lemon Guarantee Sometimes, a problem just can't be fixed. If you need service for the same problem 3 times, we'll replace the product.
- New Owners If you sell or give away the product before your extended warranty has run out, we will provide the exact same coverage for the new owner until the end of the original warranty period.
- Support You can call OnSite Monday through Friday 8:00AM - 8:00PM ET for live technical support with a trained OnSite technician.
What it doesn't cover:
- Consumables
- Accessories (unless otherwise noted)
- Damage due to customer abuse or neglect
It looks like they also offer the options of 1 or 2 year on-site warranties with a service technician. Maybe they will do an upgrade with this deal!
If you don't want the hassle with your next office shredder purchase - be sure to check out this great deal!
