Generally, a store is able to duplicate a receipt on a high ticket item if it is needed to obtain a repair. If you charged the purchase on a credit card, you can usually obtain a copy of the charge slip which is often one and the same as the receipt in today's business world but calling the customer service number of your credit card company. They generally charge a small fee but will often waive it if you have not abused this privilege in the past.
