1.) Go on eBay or Facebook Marketplace. Send a bunch of messages to people with a shark product. Ask them to send a pic of the serial number because you need to check the manufacture date or warrenty. ( Make something up )

2.) Once you get a pic of the serial/model number sticker register it on https://m.sharkclean...gisterproducts/
( I chose Amazon as my store of purchase )

3.) Now call them up an act pissed. Tell them the vacuum just does not work anymore. There gonna ask you questions like
"How often do you use this vaccum?" Tell them alot like 3-6 days a week. They will ask you to walk through troubleshooting steps with them. For the UR1005AE I got asked if the charging points were clean, if the light turns blue when it's on the charging dock ( TELL THEM IT STAYS GREEN ) and I also got asked if the "bumper" was facing towards the front or the back ( Tell them the front, towards you )

4.) After going through troubleshooting steps and acting slightly frantic/pissed because you use this product alot and you also need it for a "family gathering" soon? (Make something up) They will ask you to send in the broken product. This is when I got very angry and said " I need this ASAP" He contacted a supervisor and I was approved for an advanced replacement.

5.) In order for them to ship out the AR they ask to send them a pic of the serial number/model sticker on the bottom ( we already have this ) and also a POP to the email they will give you.

I told them I didn't have access to the email with the Amazon receipt ( They went along with it ) just make sure to remove exif data before sending the serial number pic to them.

6.) Order shipped they are required to say the shipping will take 2-3 weeks but the guy on the phone reassured me that it usually takes far less time.

7.) Enjoy your $300 Shark IQ UR1005AE Robot vacuum!

Ps... I would use a drop.
