I saw an ad on Facebook Marketplace that someone was selling a Weber Genesis E310. He said the hinges were broken and an easy fix but he just didn't have the time for it. He was saying that the hinges just needed to be replaced. I get there and see that it's not just a hinge problem. One of the hinges snapped off on the lid while the other hinge broke off at the cook box. Part of the cook box sheared off with it. So this means the lid and cookbox both need to be replaced. Those are expensive.
I snapped a pic of the model and serial number and called Weber's customer service number that night. The reps I spoke with said both parts are covered under warranty. All I have to do is send him a couple pictures where they're broken. So I quickly go back and purchase the grill, bring it home and take the pictures and send them the next day. By this time, Weber had already created an order number and was awaiting my pictures. I emailed the pics and 10 minutes later had a response saying all was good to go. They were sending the order through and I should have it fulfilled soon. That was yesterday.
Today I get an email saying both pieces are in shipping and FedEx ground has them arriving on Tuesday. I'm blown away. For $100 I buy a used grill that needs repair and 5 days later will have brand new parts covered under warranty...no charge for the parts or shipping. Great work Weber and thanks!
