Hot tub buying process in NY - PLEASE HELP MAKE DECISION
cranbiz:
The price on a Master TS7.2 ($11K) is about what they go for from what I'm seeing, depending on what's in it. Reports are that Master is due for another increase soon due to parts shortages/increases and shipping increases. Master dealer was quoting 8-10 month delivery on a new spa.
Don't know about the Envoy. When I was shopping earlier in the year, I couldn't get the HS dealer here in NC to give me the time of day, they set an appointment and then when I showed up, said that I didn't have an appointment and told me they couldn't talk to me.
I ended up with an Artesian as that dealer had their act together for good customer service, decent pricing and the tub was on order already, unsold and due in late this month. It also happened to be the color choices I wanted.

That's why I wanted to post here and get some opinions, because the quotes I'm getting are really out there.

I paid your quoted price for an Envoy 6 months ago before tax. It included ozone, salt system, sound system, cover, cover cradle 2, steps, electrical box,, and start up package. I would think prices have increased in the past 6 months.

I just talked to my dealer in Raleigh as I wanted to check on a couple of things. I also asked him about a lead time for a new factory order and he said that Artesian was now out to 20-22 months. This is up from the 12-14 months they were quoting back in January.
He also said that my tub was expected to be in before the end of the month. :-)

I didn't have the sound system spec'd in mine. That's probably a $1k add-on at least. All others seem on par with your deal.
Good to know. Thanks!

The Artesian dealer I spoke with about a Quail-Ridge and who gave me 12-14 mos was Oasis Outdoor in Pineville, NC. If they're really out to 22 mos, that's unacceptable. Entire new houses are built in less time. What's happening with either their supply chain or scheduling/production to warrant almost a 2yr lead time? Wish I could get in sooner, but will have to move on to other manufacturers.
Enjoy your new tub!
