Didn’t I buy a printer last year… Anyway, I didn’t use it all that much over the year, and the printhead got clogged. So I checked JD, and holy shit, it was still under warranty — and today was literally the last day! I filed a warranty claim right away. JD called me and suggested I first take it to a local HP service center, since that’d be faster than having JD repair it. “But today’s the last day of my warranty. If I hand it over to HP and they say it’s expired and won’t honor it, what then?” The JD support guy thought about it, agreed that was a fair point, and let me send it in.

At the end of last year, JD had the Phicomm K2 router on special — coupons stacked, so the lowest price came out to 359 yuan. But don’t forget, the cashback was still calculated on the 399 yuan sticker price. Broke and unable to afford gas, I spotted a way to make money and placed the order.
