Hi just want some opinions on buying electric appliances (fridge, tv, washing machine & soundbar etc) for my coming new house which will finish renovation by march/april 2023
Should i lock the year end deal or should i wait to purchase next year?

Wait till finish reno but list all the appliances required. The warranty starts from invoice date so is not to your advantage if the appliances is in the storeroom.

But the warranty not start from the date they deliver? As what the seller told me

Any warranty is from date of purchase aka invoice date. Delivery can be later on customer request if wanted to lock the price.

From your experienced on warranty claims, do manufacturers ask for receipt or delivery order as proof of purchased ?

When buying through online, warranty starts from payment date and not date received.

In the event of a disputes or ambiguity in any warranty claim, the proof of purchase overides warranty card.

The warranty card is merely to tell the customers the tnc of the warranty. And normally one of the tnc is the proof of purchase is required when submitting a claim.

For example, I have dealt with pana on ac warranty claim. If customers for any reasons cannot produce the proof of purchase, the warranty is based on date of production serial numbers.

For small appliances manufacturers or importers, some are more flexible in warranty claims. Some dont repair and give a one for one exchange.
