One great advantage to buying a treadmill online, other than the low cost, is the treadmill shipping option. Who wants to haul a treadmill home from a store?
I know I couldn’t even fit a treadmill in my car.
That said, don’t merely find the perfect treadmill without asking about the treadmill shipping policy and options.
The following are some shipping options various treadmill companies offer:
- Pay for treadmill shipping;
- Free treadmill shipping;
- Treadmill delivery to the outside of your house;
- Delivery inside your house.
- Delivery to the room of your choice.
- Delivery to the room of your choice AND assembly.
- Is there an additional cost for in-home and/or assembly (usually there is).
If you live outside the USA, it’s doubly important you say where you live before handing over your credit card information. International treadmill shipping can cost as much as the treadmill itself. If you live outside the USA, you may need to shop around to find reasonable shipping options.
Most “free treadmill shipping” offers mean the treadmill will be delivered outside your home. That leaves you to hauling it inside.
Many treadmill companies offer in-home deliver and/or assembly for an additional cost. Most treadmills weigh over 200 pounds so moving it requires assistance.
The world of online shopping is exciting, convenient, and offers cost-savings; however, it helps to know what shipping questions to ask because when you buy online, part of what you’re buying is the delivery service. Given a treadmills size and weight, treadmill shipping is an important factor to be clear about.
