Important facts to remember when purchasing ATVs online

We heard someone say this before and when we heard it, our hearts dropped from here to the knees. He said, “Apparently, every other person in this country sells, offers, advertises for, promotes or deals ATVs online these days. It’s hard to know who’s who and why all of them find selling ATV is so easy. It’s hard trying to find out whether you’re going to be purchasing an ATV from some folks fiddling with their computer in a dark basement waiting or if you’re going to be purchasing an ATV from a proper reputable online ATV retailer these days”.

Sadly, as hurtful those remarks made about ATV retailers were, it’s true. If you make a quick online search through your favorite search engine for ‘ATV’ or ‘ATV retailer’ or ‘buy ATV’, you’ll come up with an endless list of ATV retail websites offering one fantastic thing after another. And the amazing thing is that some of these ATV websites were very professionally designed and looked incredibly real. How do they do it? Is it really all that cheap getting someone to design a website for you these days? No matter what the going rate is for creating an ATV website is, we found the current situation not only disheartening but very troubling.

We don’t really like the idea of one (or ten thousand) apple spoil the few good apples in the basket. We have been dealing ATVs online for many years now and we have always maintained a very good relationship with our customers…most of them are repeat customers who are happy with the services that we have provided them.

There’s nothing that we or anyone else, for that matter, can do about the ever-growing number of fake online ATV retailer there is on the Internet and it is practically impossible to stop them from mushrooming and cashing in on ATV buyers’ mistakes. So, the only way to do this is to keep consumers informed and we urge you to be very cautious in your dealings. This situation is not exclusive to the online ATV retailing industry, of course. It’s rampant everywhere and people are selling from medication to books online.

Consumers ought to be more careful before they buy ATVs online from retailers you are not familiar with. Here are some important things to take into consideration before you start revealing your credit card information to the purported online ATV retailer.

•    Reputation. Yes, reputation of the online ATV retailer is an extremely important point to take into consideration. the longer that they have been around, the better. Best thing to do is to ask around among all your friends and family members to see if they have ever purchased anything ATV-related from the website. Get their feedback on that experience.
•    Contact information. We always make it a point to ask consumers to try to get in touch with someone from the website before they purchase an ATV from the online ATV retailer. Whether it’s by email, telephone number of a feedback form. As soon as you get their response, you should be able to use your grey matter to decide whether you’re comfortable revealing your personal information to them…or not.
