FAQ
-
What is an Authorized Dealer?
- An Authorized Dealer is a merchant or retailer who is authorized by the manufacturer or main distributor to sell its products. They have been vetted by the manufacturers to ensure that the products being sold are genuine and not previously sold. Manufacturers generally will only honor the factory warranty if items are purchased from an authorized dealer. In addition, sellers who are not authorized may be offering damaged, altered, incomplete, used, or counterfeit products.
-
What is a third party dealer?
- A third party dealer is a seller who has not been directly authorized by a manufacturer to sell its products. These dealers typically appear online on third party listing and auction sites such as Craigslist, eBay, and Amazon. Most manufacturers will not offer warranties on items purchased from third party dealers.

-
Do you match eBay and Amazon?
- Amazon.com and eBay are third party seller websites. Many of its sellers have not been authorized by the manufacturer to sell its products. Generally, sellers on these websites are not able to offer a manufacturers warranty. We will consider price matching items that are being sold by Amazon.com directly if they are authorized to sell that product.
-
Why don’t you match limited-stock items?
- Items are typically labelled as limited-stock when the dealer is out-of-stock but does not wish to dissuade customers from attempting to make a purchase. Limited-stock means the seller cannot guarantee item availability and we can only match the price of currently available items.
-
Why do you include tax for an online price match?
- We are required by law to pay state excise taxes on any transaction in which the retail consumer is located in Hawaii, regardless of price. It would be illegal and unethical to do otherwise. In some cases, we may elect to reduce price of the item to account for online price matching.
- Additionally, online transactions that do not charge Hawaii consumers tax are subject to the Use Tax and must be paid directly by consumers/buyers. The Use Tax amount is the exact same amount as the in-store excise tax. For more information please seehttp://files.hawaii.gov/tax/legal/info/use_bro.pdf or visit http://tax.hawaii.gov/ for details.
