The link I posted above goes into this concern where I have chosen to boycott AGF because they do not offer any warranty and their quality is piss poor. In contrast I do support NitroPro servos even though they are rebranded servos from AGF with a huge exception where NitroPro has upgraded and fixed all the quality issues plus NitroPro offers a solid warranty.
AGF has taught me a lesson that I will never buy electronics outside a distributor who offers warranty protection, you'll pay a little more money to get peace of mind.
Amazon also sells a bunch cheap servos and you'll get 30 days of protection from them to do a return without any fuss, though most of my problems with AGF happened around the 60 day mark
