Well for anyone buying one...just invest locally..that way you can be assured of a warranty, and NO HASSLE RETURN! I "suspected" my flat iron was a "knock-off" and wanted to return it.....welllllll..it was the biggest hassle, plus, obviously there was a restocking fee...I paid $82 and got credit for $63...it did not cost $20 for shipping! Needless to say don't buy from DISCOUNTJUNGLE. BUYER BEWARE!
