Buying Hot Tubs Direct - A Primer

Buying hot tubs direct from a warehouse can get you fantastic deals on not only the hot tubs themselves, but hot tub accessories - such a hot tub covers, games, spas, etc. - as well.

You can also get good deals from buying hot tubs and accessories from a dealer who buys hot tubs direct from the factory or warehouse. These deals won't be as good as you buying direct from the factory itself but it will still beat the retail prices that you'll find.

How much money can you save? A savings of up to 50% or more off of the retail price would not be unheard of.

Why can you get such good deals? There are many reasons. Overstock is one. Hot tubs and spa makers find it hard to gauge exactly how many unit of their product to make. They don't want too produce to few and have your hot tubs unavailable to those who really want one. So they produce more than they think they need. Inevitably, however, the hot tubs and other products won't sell out. So what to do with the surplus - or overstock? They sell them at deep discounts to warehouses who in turn will offer the merchandise at deep discounts to the public.

Discontinued models go through much the same process. The same way the the prices of prior year car models go down as soon as the new models come out, the same is true for hot tub models. The retail stores want to, of course, carry the most recent models, because that's what's being advertised and promoted by the dealer and manufacturers. So the older hot tub models must go - most likely direct to a warehouse who will sell them to the public.

You'll find the best deals on brands and models that are not popular. These brands and models could be the best quality imaginable, but if they're not selling, the hot tubs direct warehouse will be more than happy to offer you deeper discounts than you might imagine simply to get it off of the warehouse floor and make room for other faster moving merchandise.

Buying hot tubs direct can get you great deals, but as you might expect, there are tradeoffs as well:

• You may find a really good deal but it won't be the exact model you wanted.
• You may find minor imperfections such as a small dent here and there.
• You may not get a service agreement at all or, if you do, it may a bare bones agreement.

So how do you find these hot tubs direct places? Many big cities will advertise in the city newpapers. And you'll most likely find them in the local yellow pages as well. And you will almost certainly find them listed on the Internet where most of them will have a presence.
