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

In the UK, consumers are protected by the Sale of Goods Act 1979 & the more recent Consumer Rights Act 2015. Business to Business transactions are only covered by the Sale of Goods Act (as businesses are not considered consumers by definition).
In the US, you are protected by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the act itself of the same name (FTCA).
If you buy AGF from a retailer, you are afforded all the same minimum guarantees as you are any other item.
In the UK, It has to be:
- Fit for purpose
- Free of manufacturing defects for a minimum of 1 year
- As described
- Within the specifications
The issues you experienced with the very unhelpful lady from AGF that stated the servo was 'not suitable for 1/8th use' are essentially between the retailer and the distributor/manufacturer when buy through a retailer. It's the law.
If you pay using a credit card, when such issues arise, you can usually get the credit card company to refund you while they deal with the issues. Even if you only part pay with a credit card.
