Buying Online Advice (Trampoline)

Hi all,

The kids want to spend their crimbo money on a new trampoline as their current one is battered.

Looking for a 12ft with cage and ladder.

Found this one here Trampolines, buy from trampoline on line (the 12ft telstar one about half way down)

Does anyone have any experience with this company? Seems like a good price but I'm reluctant to cough up over 200 shellaks to a company I've no experience of.

Or do you know a good reliable company for buying online?

Also do they come fully assembled or do I have to dig out my toolbox when it arrives?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Cheers

SD

I have no experience of the company as such, but if they use Protx as their payment gateway, that does afford you a certain amount of protection against fraud.

Don't ever pay for a trampoline by cheque. Chances are, it'll bounce.

From their FAQ:

One from Amazon could be an option? Was looking for one myself a bit back.

Yeah, but I have a problem buying from a non specialist company tbh.

Just feel that if it did go wrong you'd get more help from a specialist company.

Good price though.
