    If I purchase something from a shop the warranty is with the shop not the company that supplied the shop.  Is Amazon allowed to do this, they are claiming that they only give a 90 day warranty.

    I sent it back to the manufacturer first and they sent me an invoice for £86.  I've looked into this before, this clarifies the situation:

    Yes, it clarifies it perfectly and it clearly shows that your earlier statement that the warranty is with the shop is incorrect.

    If the item is faulty then you will have your legal rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 against the retailer. You may also have a separate warranty direct with the manufacturer – and if you pay extra to the retailer for an ‘extended warranty’ you may also have another set of rights against the retailer or third party insurer.
