Что за зверь такой? Может, смысл в том, что отсчет срока гарантии начинается сразу после доставки продукта?

"What is a carry-in warranty?

Some types of warranty coverage specify service on-site i.e. the service is performed at the location of the machine. A carry-in warranty is one where the customer has to bring in the machine for diagnosis and repair(s); IBM NetVista’s have a carry-in warranty."

Кто-нить знает, как это на русском звучит?

ya by skazala tak:

Kuplennai tovar proizvoditsya pod zakaz i imeet odin god garantii c garantiinym obsluzhivaniem proizvodimym v meste proizvodstva.

Vtoroe predlozhenie, kak mne kazhetsya imeet sleduyuschuyu smyslovuyu nagruzku:

Nekotorye vidy garantiinogo pokrytiya ogovarivayut servis on-site ,t.e. servisnoe obsluzhivanie proizvoditsya v meste raspolozheniya mashiny. Carry-in garantiya oznachaet, chto pokupatel' dolzhen dostavit' mashinu (proizvoditelyu) dlya diagnostiki i remonta; IBM NetVista's imeet takuyu ( carry-in) garantiyu.

Inache govorya, esli u vas "carry-in warranty" i vy khotite chtoby vam prodiagnostirovali ili pochinili mashinu ( ili chto tam vy kupili), to pridetsya otsylat' mashinu proizvoditelyu. K vam ee chinit' ne priedut.
Esli u vas on-site garantiya, to remontniki poedut k vam.
