I don't think I have ever been verbally told a return policy unless I asked.
I always ask. Our (almost) problem was that we were given the wrong answer, i.e., 90 days, when it is only 30 days. We got lucky, having the hard drive go before 30 days was up. Otherwise we would be dealing with Samsung, sending the laptop back to them for repairs. My experience with that is when something is wrong with a new computer, it's usually a lemon, and other things go wrong too, frequently after the warranty's up.
