What here carries a guarantee beyond a taillight guarantee, being when the store can no longer see your taillights the guarantee has expired. My favorite guarantee talk was when my 12 year old son and I were shopping for scuba gear, and the guy told us it had a lifetime guarantee. My son said that sounds pretty scary, right?
Not true. Bought a new GE washer last Feb from a small store in San Cristobal. It came with a one year guarantee. 11.5 months later it stopped running on the same day our inverter blew (we had electric, I think it was a huge spike). We half heartedly called the store, and they sent two guys the same day. They couldn't fix it so they called GE service, who came next day and proclaimed motor burned out. Two weeks later we had new motor installed. Would have been sooner but they had to ship motor from US
Moral of the story is buy a name brand that offers service here.
That being said, we brought a 32" tv in our suitcase with no problem (SDQ). Our daughter gave us a 42" for Christmas so we shipped it down via mundanza. No problems. If I had to buy one myself, I'd buy it in SD
