back

Each year the British public are making an ever-increasing amount of online purchases of a wide range of goods, from groceries to cars, DVDs and so on. Indeed, findings published by The British Population Survey indicates that the UK online shopping population has reached an all time high, with figures from December 2009 showing that 48.7% of us are happy to buy on line.

This increase in online shopping has certainly been noticed within the garden machinery industry with a notable upsurge in direct sales of lawn mowers and associated garden machinery. Here at LawnMowers Direct we felt it would be a good idea to offer a brief guide to what you can expect when you buy a lawn mower direct from our online shop and a few pointers at what you should look out for before making an online purchase.

At LawnMowers Direct we strive to offer the same service to our online customers as we would to customers visiting our showrooms in either Ipswich or Norwich i.e. finding out what specific needs a customer has and matching them up with the right machine. This is a little bit easier to do when speaking face to face with someone but our trained sales team know what questions to ask you, ensuring that when you buy a lawn mower direct from our website, you are getting the right mower for your needs.

When we say that we offer the same service to those of you buying your lawn mowers directly from our online shop, we mean it, not only when advising you over the telephone but also before we dispatch the lawn mower via our couriers. Every petrol mower sold direct from our website receives a pre-delivery inspection (PDI) from fully trained fitters in our workshop, meaning that we remove the lawn mower from its box and:

· We assemble it

· We fuel it up

· We run it up

· We then drain it of fluids

· Re-box it once unassembled

· Put it on a pallet ready for shipping

This type of approach benefits us as much as it does you, our online customer. By shipping lawn mowers direct to our customers in this way we know that we are supplying them with a lawn mower that will work directly from the box, we’ll even supply the oil that you need to get started. As our customer, you know that you will receive a lawn mower in good working order, ready to go once oil and petrol have been added.

It is important that you are offered this type of service when buying a lawn mower online, or any other type of garden machinery for that matter, as you need to have confidence in both the quality of goods supplied to you and the company that you are dealing with. If you are feeling the urge to buy your next lawn mower online, try to have the following information to hand:

· The size of your lawn or grass area

· The type of grass to be maintained e.g. rough orchard, formal bowling green

· The make and model of your previous lawn mower (if applicable)

· How much you want to spend!
