Welcome to our forum.
You'll probably spend $30.00- $40.00 in fuel to trailer the spa back 40 miles after driving 40 miles to pick it up as well. Actuall savings = $160.00. Worth it??

Assuming your married, tell your wife that you paid $200 more than you did, but that you negotiated free delivery.
If you can get the dealer to load it flat on your trailer and all you have to do is drive it right up to the slab and unlaod it that easily then that's a lot different. I'm still not sure I'd do that to save $200 but if its that easy of a delivery (most are certainly more difficult) then it's really up to you. BTW, what spa are you getting?
I had it narrowed down to the Majesta first, and the Envoy second. But, as goofy as it sounds that $200.00 dollars for the delivery will put me in the Vanguard as the only tub in my budget. I am literally down to saving pennies here and there from the money budgeted.Oh.... the pain, the pain.

And what if one of your buddies gets hurt while moving the tub? You'd probably have to file a claim against your homeowner's insurance but what's that going to do to your rates? And will he/she still be a friend afterward? I think the $200 is worth it.Jim
