Factory Direct: What does it mean?
East_TX_Spa:
I just heard their ad again on the way to work. It says they "are ONE of the largest Artesian Factory Direct Outlets" in the nation.
How many "factory direct outlets" does Artesian have?
Does Sundance or Jacuzzi have factory outlets? I believe Markee (the forum member) works at a Marquis factory outlet store. Hopefully he can explain it so that it makes sense.
I don't know of any HotSpring factory outlets.

When I started in San Diego some years back, I worked at the Jacuzzi Factory Store. It was owned and operated by Jacuzzi. There were four of them. San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles and the Wallnut Creek store at the corporate head quarters. They sold the S.D., O.C. and L.A. Stores to private dealers but maintained for a short period, the Wallnut Creek store. I say, if you can't walk through a door into the manufacturering facility, then you are not buying factory direct.

Maybe its just the name they chose, kind of like buying a "superflat" television that isnt flat screen. They just decided to name it super flat.
Like they could of named the toyota Rav4 "doesthe1\4milein11secondsflat", doesnt mean anything, just a name haha. A missleading name of course.

That's fine and dandy, except that they explicitly say in their ads that you can save thousands of dollars by eliminating the middle man. I don't recall them ever saying they were factory direct until recently. Maybe they are actually building the spas in their barn/showroom. Then, it would be perfectly ethical to claim factory direct status. Otherwise, I will have the opinion they are being deceitful unless someone can show me otherwise.

I would think that the store has to be owned by the Mfg. to be factory direct not necessarily attached to the factory.
