If you expect a warranty, don't buy products that are branded directly from Asia (e.g. China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc.) The merchants can come and go without warning.
Japan is probably the only exception to the rule.
Based upon your postings, your perceived general attitude and expectations, you should only buy Chinese products that are imported by US companies where the US company offers a warranty.
And if you really have to have a Fenix, I don't think 4Seven's return policy applies to repairs or warranty items, only on requests for refunds; at least not based upon the postings that others have made.
