 | I am interested in purchasing a Landice treadmill for
home use. Apparently, Landice (www.landice.com) has
a lifetime, "assignable" warranty, which is a big selling
point for me. I went to the local distributor and
talked about price. Then I went online to compare, and
found comparable prices, HOWEVER I found one online
place that claimed that Landice units bought from an
out-of-state supplier (and thereby not being charged
state sales tax) are NOT eligable for this lifetime
warranty. This sounds fishy. Why would it not be covered
if bought online? Is the local dealer somehow involved
in the warranty? If so, and the local guy goes out
of business, then what? Besides a friendly face,
why should I buy from the local guy assuming he
can't beat the online price (including sales tax
and any other things of that nature)?

| I believe the deal is that you must have a landice treadmill installed
by a dealer and/or the dealer must be within 50 miles from where you
have it or the lifetime warrenty is null and void. I ran across several
user reviews while trying to decide on buying a treadmill that mentioned
problems with internet purchases of landice and the warrenty. This
little tidbid just happened to "not" make it into the Consumer Reports
glowing review of Landice.

| Local sales taxes pay for a lot of of things that you enjoy (but
apparently take for granted) such as parks, roads, hospitals, schools
and police and fire protection.

| Dealing with the local guy also helps keep him in business.
Doing your "shopping" at local stores, then buying cheaper on-line is a good
way, long term, to not have any local stores left.

Did you email Landice with your question?
