Buying on Amazon, Target, Walmart etc? Important Information About 3rd party sellers

Buying from 3rd (third) party sellers is risky

Updated over a week ago

What is a Third-party (3P) seller?

Third-party (3P) sellers are independent businesses or individuals that sell new, used, or refurbished products directly on Amazon.com's or other online marketplaces.

While many third-party sellers operate legitimately, Airthings does not control their supply chain. This means we cannot guarantee:

• The product’s origin

• Whether the device is new or previously used

• Whether it has been returned, refurbished, or damaged

• Proper storage conditions (important for sensor accuracy)

• That the device includes all original components

In some cases, customers have received:

  • Previously opened or used devices

  • Devices with missing accessories

  • Products outside warranty eligibility


Where to buy?

When purchasing an Airthings device on Amazon (also valid for Target, Walmart, Best buy etc.) we strongly recommend buying directly from the reseller or from Airthings’ official store.

This ensures that you receive:

• A brand-new, authentic Airthings device

• Full manufacturer warranty coverage

• Access to customer support and technical assistance

• Eligibility for our extended 5-year warranty (where applicable)


Check Who Is Selling the Product

On every Amazon product page, you can find the seller information under the “Sold by” and “Ships from” fields.

Look for:

  • Sold by: Amazon.com (or your local Amazon marketplace)

  • Or the official Airthings store

If the product is sold by another company name, this is considered a third-party (3P) seller.


Warranty Coverage

Airthings’ manufacturer warranty applies only to products purchased from approved resellers, including:

  • Amazon (when sold by Amazon)

  • Airthings official store

  • Authorized retail partners

Devices purchased from unauthorized third-party sellers on Amazon or other online stores do not qualify for warranty service or replacement.

  • Directly from Amazon

  • Or from Airthings’ official store
