Don't Accept Cheap Imitations

Over the past two years, many new websites selling home and commercial gym equipment (such as treadmills, exercise bikes and rowing machines) can be found on the internet. Many of these e-tailers are just individuals setting up a business from home, and some are not even limited companies. In some instances, this may appear to be good news for customers, as this will provide a wider choice of equipment. Whilst this may be true there are also many disadvantages to you the buyer.

As more new e-tailer businesses are set up, they each strive to offer inferior and less expensive home and commercial exercise equipment products. More often than not, the products are "grey imports" bought in direct from China manufacturers and are not well established high-street brands. These products may well appear cheaper spec for spec; however they may well turn out to be a costly mistake.

When buying home or commercial gym equipment from web-only companies, be particularly wary of warranties they offer, always ask what warranty is provided with the equipment. What level of customer service do they have? If the exercise equipment comes with a 'back to base' warranty, find out who will pay the carriage to return the equipment to base, and then, who pays the carriage to ship the repaired model back to your home address? (as carriage charges can be considerably high).
