How far is your dealer from your home? (poll)
« on: June 02, 2005, 07:54:08 pm »
A trip to the Artic spas website today annoyed me. DISCLAIMER Artic spas may be great. All their dealers may be first class, I truly don't know, because I have never seen one and never met a dealer or visited a dealership.

I occasionally hit the websites of spa manufacturers who are not in my area (Columbus, Ohio - Area population of 1 million +)  

I get annoyed every time I go the Artic website and their dealer locator tells me that there are no dealers within 40 miles of my location.  This doesn't seem like a great marketing move to me.  I sent them an email asking about this, I'll let you know of any reply.  A question/poll for everyone. How far, in miles (or kilometers for some, I'll do the math)  is your dealer from your home? For now, this just applies to owners, or people who have made the purchase and maybe awaiting delivery.  I'll average up the totals at the end.

I can answer this cause I actually OWN a coleman 461 it's just not in my yard yet. 75 miles north in Billings, the funny thing is we have an artic dealer and a D1 dealer in Cody but, both were to high on their price for me.

How far are you from Cody, does that dealer show up when you put in your zip code?

 Our Sundance dealer is a good 20-25 miles from us. Considering all the other dealers that we wet tested were much closer, it's quite the road trip.

Since my wife's work is halfway there, she gets the privilege of "go-fer" trips.  ;D

I am lucky enough to have about 15 dealers pretty close by, the Beachcomber dealer is less than 2 k away,  I could walk to it.

My Marquis dealer is 15 miles away, almost all the major brands are located within 15 miles of me.  I live on Long Island.

I recently ordered a Sundance Majesta.  Our dealer is about 30 miles away.  Not sure how that is going to work out when we need supplies, however there is a Hot springs dealer about 2 miles from our house.

Probably about 15 - 20 miles away although it's a 45 minute drive!

Luckily we have Hot Springs, Marquis, D1 and Sundance all relatively close by.  Made our shopping much easier. Went with the Sundance, about 15-20 miles away, but with crazy traffic takes about 40 minutes to get there.
