Welcome to our forum.
I have been told that their “sale ends today” and I “must place an order to get the sale price” I don’t like the way these guys list their prices for example:List Price $20,000Sale Price $12,000Rebate $8,000TOTAL COST $4,000 When I looked up this company with the Better Business Bureau, I found reference to the questionable rebate program and a list of other names the company trades under. On the two occasions I visited the store, the sales staff were unable to answer ANY of my questions about the product. Instead they persistently told me that their rebate system made them the “best value in town”. As for their spas, who knows? Hopefully, they are better than their sales tactics.
Polar has recently come into the market relying heavily on their cashable rebate program which IMO, is a less than reputabe way of promoting any product. I'm not sure if they're offering it where your friend is or not? Tell him to run very fast in the opposite direction.What I do know is that the local dealer here suggests about a 4 month wait for any Polar spa. I can't figure how any company can survive offering that. The local dealer here has recently brought in another line which they are promoting far more now.They are not linked to Arctic in any way other than Polar bears come from the Arctic! An OK entry level spa at best. Nothing I would spend more than $4000 on.Tell your buddy totay far away from the cashable rebate program. Nobody gets $8000 back on a $10,000 spa after 3 years. It just don't happen.Steve
With reference to the polar spas being a "rebranded arctic", I may be able to help you out there. It is my understanding that those who started the Arctic line began at Polar Spas...a family business.
Just for your information. The people that started Arctic Spas have nothing to do with Polar Spas. I know. My partners and I started Arctic Spas. The family that started Polar Spas came from Surrey, BC. They used to own Malibu Spas in the early 90's. I don't know any details regarding Malibu Spas, except they are no longer in business.
Thanks JP, I was wondering about that. Arctic would take full credit if they were out there doing it so I though they were a "copycat"...
