If you buy something and it stops working and you don't have a receipt all you have to do is buy another new one. Once you have the new one and its receipt you can put the non-working item back in the box and return it with the new receipt. It's a way around the 'not having a receipt' problem. And there isn't anything unethical about it. It is just getting your warranty honored on your terms, not theirs.

Of course, the only downside is manufacturers constantly change the cosmetics of products to prevent you from returning some items. Years ago items would remain identical for years. But now they change every few months. The new products are improvements usually, they are just cosmetic changes to try to reduce returns. But I can usually stay ahead of all their games with 'creativity'.

All the best...
