Buy major appliances online?
I've decided to replace my 50-year-old electric coil range with a
nice smoothtop (GE's JB700DN). It looks like I can save $30-60 by buying from an online retailer like AJMadison versus the local Lowe's and Sears, but is it a good idea? Are there any non-obvious pitfalls I should be aware of? Thanks! -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com Shikata ga nai... |

I've purchased washer/dryers online with no problems. Inspect closely for physical damage on delivery of course. |

Thanks to those who responded. The advice to negotiate was dead on. Lowe's gave a 10% discount from the advertised $799 price with little demur, and that matches the lowest Internet price I found. Lowe's has free delivery and haul- away. Installation from the seller was not in the cards anyway. This one replaces a 50-year-old slide-in, so a little bit of carpentry will be required. I'll also most likely need an outlet created, and probably (I haven't checked yet) a new 240V/40A circuit to replace the existing circuit. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com Shikata ga nai... |
