Consumers shopping on eCOST.com have a new option when it comes to protecting their purchases with an extended warranty. A recent partnership between the $100 million retailer and SquareTrade, a leading online warranty provider, gives buyers the option to add SquareTrade's extended protection for their eCOST.com purchases.

"We think the partnership will be very successful and offers great benefits to eCOST.com customers," stated Steve Abernethy, CEO of SquareTrade. "Both eCOST.com and SquareTrade have built their businesses on core values of better pricing and bend-over-backwards customer service. Like eCOST.com, SquareTrade succeeds through delivering great service and generating word-of-mouth referrals from our customers."

"We are always trying to strengthen the quality of services that we offer our customers," stated Jason Halfaker, VP of Merchandising for eCOST.com. "We were drawn to SquareTrade's exceptional consumer focus, their 5-day guarantee and their online claims management for consumers. Our consumers are very research intensive and savvy. We were impressed how SquareTrade's branded warranty uniquely enables consumers to easily research SquareTrade on peer review sites like ePinions, to validate their exceptional service level in advance of buying."

Consumers can now purchase SquareTrade warranties on eCOST.com or directly from SquareTrade for their eCOST.com purchases within 30 days of buying their consumer electronic products.
