"Yeah, and people want to complain at the retail price of a QUALITY custom measured and fitted cover of $425.00 when heck they can buy "the same thing on the inter net for half that!" No offense Doc, but IMHO if you cant see it, touch it, try it or prove it, why would you buy it! "no offence back at ya Frank..... ummmmmmmm, is your capitolization of the word "quality" suposed to mean something?.....Actually, $425 isn't bad if youre going out to measure for the cover, and then delivering it (taking away the old cover too?)... all of that is worth at least $100.......And, $425 is a fair price if you're offering Ideal, Prestige or Sunstar (I have letters of their latest price increases).But, I think you need to look at the big picture as well. There's a LOT of web sites selling spa covers, and they're not going to go away......... A lot of them ALSO sell a quality product.. and yes, there are some selling junk.
