It is 5:00 at night and you decide you need a new sewing machine. You go online and investigate the different brands of sewing machines and you decide you will purchase "xxxxx" brand. You are anxious and excited while awaiting your brand new shiny sewing machine.
After several days your new sewing machine shows up at your home. After a few months of sewing up a storm your brand new sewing machine stops working. You call the manufacturer of the sewing machine and they tell you where the closest warranty station is. You Mapquest the shop and off you go. You get to the shop and the person at the shop asks for your receipt of purchase. You hand the person your receipt and the person starts shaking their head from side to side saying that they are sorry but they cannot help you. It turns out the online store you purchased from was not an authorized dealer so you have no warranty. Since the manufacturer will not reimburse the shop on unauthorized sales the shop cannot cover your machine under warranty.
All goes well and then about a month later you start having problems. You call up the manufacturer and they tell you where you can have the machine serviced. So you pack up your machine and take it to the place that was recommended. You give the place a copy of your receipt and the place tells you "I am sorry we can not do any warranty work on this machine; the company you purchased from is not an authorized dealer." You are stunned. You tell them you went online and ordered the item and assumed all was good. The place tells you that they cannot help you. Now you have to fight with the company you bought it from.

One of the ways an unauthorized dealer might take advantage of you is take items out of the box and then sell them back to you as an add on. This way the price was lower but you did not get all that you were supposed to get and you just had to buy back the items anyway.
