3 Reasons To Buy Outdoor Fountains Online

There are many reasons why people choose to buy their Outdoor Fountains online rather than from their local garden center. Here we will discuss three really good reasons. Hopefully this will help you get out of your own way and give you the confidence to feel comfortable purchasing one of these wonderful items online.

Outdoor Fountains

Delivery - I know it seems weird having this listed as one of the best reasons to buy a fountain online, but hear me out... Imagine visiting a garden center in your area and finding a fountain you like.  How do you get it home?  It likely will not fit into your vehicle, and even if i does, you risk causing damage to your interior.  Also, once you pay for the fountain and load it into your vehicle, you are responsible for any damages that occur.  If you were in an accident on the way home and your fountain was damaged it would be your responsibility.  Most online stores that carry outdoor fountains offer discounted or free delivery. The item will be shipped to your home and in the rare case that any damage occurs the liability would belong to the shipping company. Online stores are very experienced in packaging fountains correctly to ensure they arrive intact and undamaged. The other advantage is you don't end up having to load and unload the car!

Price - Like many other items, you can likely find a better deal online for water fountains compared to what local stores charge. This is due to a few reasons:

1. Local stores have to charge more to cover overhead of having a brick-and-mortar storefront.  Online fountain stores do not have the same overhead costs and are able to charge less markup.
2. There are far more stores online to shop from than you can find locally.  Competition creates discounts!
3. Many online stores only have to charge sales tax to customers in their own state. This can add up to a significant savings over buying it locally.  

Selection - Your local garden center or nursery will have a very limited selection of outdoor fountains for sale.  This will be due to a lack of space and the expense of buying display models.  You may be surprised to learn there are literally hundreds upon hundreds of different fountains available for purchase.  Online stores tend to pay more attention to new model launches and are better equipped to display the vast array of available models in an easy-to-shop layout.  You may be able to view a catalog at the store in your area, but you can take your time and relax in your home as you shop online.
