I purchased a Starfrit griddle online through Walmart. A 1-year warranty was included with the purchase. I contacted Customer Service, on Monday January 8th, but they indicated that items through other companies are not honoured by Walmart since their 30 day return policy applies to all products. When directed to contact Starfrit's directly, I found that it would cost about $30 to send the skillet back through Canada Post. Buyer beware. Shop directly in store, or if the product is only available online, avoid third party vendors. Very limiting, since so many items are only available online. Better to order directly from company selling these products, but the cost will be higher, although the warranty will likely be honoured. Good luck! 🙄
