Pros and Cons for Buying Pumps Online

Traditionally, the way of buying pumps involved contacting a pump distributor and visiting an onsite store to make your purchase. Today, things have changed, with the most popular way to buy pumps and equipment now online. But what sort of advantages does buying a pump online provide over visiting a physical store? 

Why Buy a Pump Online?

There are many positive reasons why you should consider buying a pump online, especially through a reputable distributor such as Buy Pumps Direct.

These advantages include:

  • No Travel: When buying a pump previously, you had to visit a physical store. This meant taking time out of your day to travel to the nearest pump distributor. Even when such a store is nearby, it can still take several hours to go through the entire buying process. Buying pumps online saves you time.
  • Easy Checkout: Speaking of speed, Buy Pumps Direct's checkout system is easy and intuitive. With a few clicks, you can purchase your own pump and it will be on its way. 
  • Delivery: While some physical stores do deliver their products, buying online ensures that your products are delivered to your site safely and with speed. This saves you transportation costs and time. It is also extremely convenient to have your pump sent straight to its destination so you or your team can get on with the task of installing it. What's more, Buy Pumps Direct offers free delivery Australia-wide.
  • Lower Prices: Because online pump retailers do not need to have store space or expensive sales staff, their products are often much cheaper because their overheads are lower. These savings are passed on to you the customer.
  • No Sales People: Buying a pump from a physical shop comes with the stressful reality of salespeople. Buying a pump online means not having to be persuaded into a product you don't need by a salesperson looking for commission. You simply select your product, click buy, and then wait for it to arrive. If you do require information about your chosen pump or your options, then trained staff are waiting to answer your queries over email without pressuring you into making a purchase.

Negatives to Buying a Pump Online?
Are there any negatives to buying a pump online? No! We're only joking. Any online purchase has its advantages and disadvantages, you just have to be aware of them. 

  • No Tech Support: It may feel as if there is no technical or specialised pump support when you purchase through Buy Pumps Direct. As we are an online store, we do not have the resources to discuss or recommend pump options over the phone, or provide one-on-one assistance. We've cut out the middle man and tech support to bring you competitive pump prices. If you're after specifications, or information on purchasing a pump, check out our range of resources here or read our FAQ for general queries before getting in touch with one of our friendly team members
  • Lack of After Sales Support: As we are an online retailer we do not have the facilities, nor the capabilities to offer after sales support or servicing to pump purchases. That being said we have a range of contacts across Australia that can assist you if, in the unlikely circumstance, you require pump servicing or assistance. If there are any issues with the Pump/s or accessories you purchase, our team are always happy to discuss return or replacement of goods. More information on our Returns/Replacement Policy can be found here. 
  • Quality Assurance: Sometimes you want to touch and feel the goods you're purchasing, especially when they're big-ticket items like Pumps. It's important you do your research prior to buying your pump online - make sure it's the right fit and suitable for your needs before hitting buy. We have a wide range of useful blogs that outline technical terms, differences between pumps and other useful resources that'll ensure you make the appropriate decision.
