Warranty & Repair Policies in South Africa

LG’s warranty and service model in South Africa typically requires:

• Warranty claims must be made through the original retailer from which the product was purchased.
• No other retailer or store can assume warranty liability or provide backup service if they were not the point of sale.
• Repair services must likewise go through the same channel (original retailer), not through arbitrary shops.
• Always keep your proof of purchase, packaging and documentation in case servicing is needed.

Considerations for Buyers in South Africa

Verify authentic local units

Confirm that the product is a version meant for South Africa, with the correct power ratings, region firmware, and included accessories. Avoid parallel imports that may lack support or compatibility. It is recommended buying LG through  ComX Computers for peace of mind that the LG product is authentic and has been officially imported through LG.

Check retailer warranty commitment

Before purchase, ask the retailer to confirm in writing that they will honor LG’s warranty terms in your region, and understand how repair or replacement will work.  It is recommended buying through  ComX Computers for guaranteed officially imported LG products with a full warranty.

Plan for service logistics

Since warranty repairs must return to the point of purchase, check how far that is from you, whether the retailer offers a collection or courier service, and the expected turnaround time for repairs, especially for large items like TVs.

Reputation & Brief Perspective

LG is widely respected for its innovation in display technologies, smart appliances and consumer electronics. It often ranks highly for product quality, design and technology integration. However, local buyer experience can hinge heavily on retailer integrity, genuine local warranty adherence and repair responsiveness, therefore buying from trusted companies such as ComX Computers is essential.
