Joeleft Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Wonder why people in the US can have free backpacks and an extra year of warranty cover but in the UK we don't get these offers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Because we have to pay for healthcare. ;) Nobody said life was fair... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeleft Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 We certainly pay crusinon…..just in a different way, and from what I can tell, no individual pays as much as you guys seem to have to. You have my sympathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have my sympathy. Oh I know...just goofing. ;) "Free" stuff is never free... and near as I can tell, the only difference is whether you pay on your way in, or on your way out. It does suck that you guys can't get a free backpack though... but hey, you can't be blamed for Budweiser, McDonald's, or The Backstreet Boys either... win a few, lose a few. Rock on! ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewolf48 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 The simple answer is that offers such as free backpacks are down to the local/regional distributor which in the US is Line 6 directly and in UK/EU is Yamaha. Yamaha UK don't have a big reputation for giving stuff away... As for Warranty - this is just bringing the US more into line with EU 2 years or UK up to 6 years for faulty goods where you claim against the retailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 In the U.S. we really like having lots of backpacks, and stuff them with Kevlar bullet-proofing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 The US free backpacks are for picking up the relatives belongings after they pass because they couldn't afford the extremely expensive healthcare costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it! "New from Line 6: Eternal Tone...The Helix Urn"...;) It'll need wifi and a small speaker so you can stream your own recordings. Or just creep out your loved ones every Thanksgiving with an endless loop of "Dust In The Wind" from the up on the mantelpiece...;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
