Buying appliance for customers and guarantees

Some advice please.

I'd usually expect the customer to buy kitchen appliances themselves. (otherwise it adds to turnover and may complicate the guarantee?)

Do you ever buy an appliance on behalf of the customer? (a hob in this case for a student letting company) Or do you tell them they need to order it themselves.

Then if you do purchase it do you register the guarantees yourself of give the customer the details needed to register or let them know they need to register or just not say anything?

Thanks.

  • Cheers Mike. I ended up sending them a link to buy themselves or pay me to collect it + 10% mark-up.
