If you’re in the market to buy a treadmill, your timing couldn’tbe better. Treadmills are giving you more value for your moneyevery year. In fact according to a recent Runner’s World article:’Today’s treadmills are better than ever. In particular, mostbrands have improved their stability and controls. Meanwhile,they continue to offer a dazzling variety of features.’If you’re buying a treadmill no doubt you want to get the bestprice. Having been researching and reviewing treadmills for over3 years, I’ve seen some killer treadmill deals and somecompletely overblown, overpriced treadmills. I’ve also seen the same treadmill offered at vastly differentprices – sometimes the difference is as much as $800! And peopleare still buying the overpriced treadmills! This is usually because they aren’t aware of where to look toget a treadmill deal. There are ways to getting the best priceon a high quality home treadmill that many people don’t knowabout. So to help you save some money, here are 3 key tips togetting the best price on your treadmill. 1 Buy Online If you want to save money, buy online. This is the case withmost items from computers to DVD’s to electronics and especiallytreadmills. Because when you buy online, the treadmill dealerdoesn’t have to pay to rent a storefront, pay salespeople, payhydro, heat, etc. They can ship directly from their warehouse. This saves them alot of money and in turn these savings are passed on to you inthe form of lower prices. Obviously you don’t want to just buyfrom anyone online. Make sure the online treadmill dealer offerssecure ordering, prevalent contact information (phone numbers,email, online help, address), at least a 30 day money backguarantee and of course – high quality treadmills. It also helpsif they offer customer and/or expert testimonials. 2 Buy Direct From the Treadmill Brand ManufacturerBuying direct from the treadmill manufacturer means you skip themiddleman (i.e. the store), which always has to mark up an itemto make their profit (and pay their employees, rent, etc.) Thereare several treadmill manufacturers that sell online direct tothe consumer at wholesale prices and it’s a great way to get abrand name treadmill for a discount price. Also, if you watch closely, many manufacturers will drop theirprices even more when they are phasing out a certain treadmill.I’ve seen a $1500 treadmill go for $899 when the manufacturerwas trying to close the model out. Again, make sure these treadmill dealers offer secure ordering,prevalent contact information, at least a 30 day money backguarantee and high quality treadmills. 3 Save on Shipping and Sales Tax Whether it’s an online store or an online treadmillmanufacturer, many online dealers offer you free shipping. Someoffer free shipping all the time whereas others offer it atcertain times of the month. Shipping your treadmill can cost you as much as $200 – so whypay for it if you can get it free? I’ve yet to see an actualstore offer free shipping on treadmills – it’s always an add onat the cash register.Another area where you can save money is on sales tax. Manyonline dealers won’t charge you sales tax (depending on thestate) which can also save you a considerable amount on yourtreadmill.So those are 3 key ways to get the best price on your treadmill.If you want a list of the most popular online stores andtreadmill manufacturers check out:http://www.treadmillreview.net/TreadmillStores.html, That’s it – follow these 3 tips and you’ll easily save hundredson your next treadmill.
