Welcome to our forum.
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.Terminator
YOU KNOW. .... I have heard rumors about this master spa maker who lives out west somewhere.... colorado maybe? he buys spa's, and then "makes them better" ....would that count as factory direct ?? "jim" something.......
And the plot thickens.....A man has been in my store the last hour shooting the squat. Here is a basic rundown of what he said:1. I'm Doo Lolly and I'm in the oil and gas business2. I've heard HotSpring is the best3. Another dealer, who I won't name, tried to sell me a $9000 spa for $140004. I own a bunch of Class III (full-auto) guns including an M-3 Colt (no such thing)5. I can show you how to make your weapons full-auto (illegal act that I told him I wasn't interested in)6. Oh, I'll go ahead and tell you who tried to rip me off (the Factory Direct dealer)7. Well, I live in College Station (4 hour drive from here, so I tell him to go see his local dealer)8. I gave the other guy several hundred dollars for a deposit, but I'll just let him keep it (OkeeDokee)9. I make a lot of money...these spas look nice....the other guy has this same spa (HS Envoy) for about $9000....I may go back and get it...I could've slept with this 23 year old hotel worker last night and I'm 42....blah...blah....blahI finally told him good luck, hoped he found the right spa, he'd regret it if he cheated on his girlfriend, and bye.Now, this is the first time I have EVER had someone even mention this other company before, and it came on the day after I posted about their advertising practices. I smell a conspiracy and I don't know if it's my competitor or the ATF trying to set me up.What do ya'll make of it or is my paranoia acting up?Terminator

That's Factory Re-Direct.

Please someone help me out here...but aren't we all "Factory direct dealers" here....I mean raise your hand if anyone is buying their spas from a distributor of some sorts....I think it is misleading but I guess we could all make the same claim of being Factory direct since we all buy direct from the factory.....Please do not think I am a advocate for making this claim but I just suppose we all could and as it was already said it does not mean much....
