This winter we were hit with one storm after another and in the middle of January when my 1995 snowblower broke and the local Ariens hardware store was three weeks behind on repair and felt my unit also needed welding to repair I felt it was time to purchase a new machine.
The hardware store had already sold out its entire inventory for the season and I headed out to the local Sears, Home Depot and Lowes only to find that everything was back-ordered. Heard repeatedly that everyone was Out Of Stock throughout the State.
Snow was falling and another major storm due the following week and I reached out to the internet and found Snow Blowers Direct and discovered they had a limited variety of machines available. On that Saturday morning I was able to choose the unit I wanted and found two in inventory and able to ship on Monday (the process was clear to order a tailgate delivery for $50.00 which I would require). I completed the purchase and also ordered a cover since my unit is stored outside, along with some extra shear bolts and a couple of cans of Snow Spray.
I immediately received email confirmation of the purchase and follow-up email confirmation on Monday morning that the purchase was complete and my unit was scheduled for shipment. The snowblower via R&L Carriers (along with their local phone number to arrange delivery) and Fed Ex confirmation for the other items I ordered.
The smaller items arrived by Thursday of the week and the snowblower would have also but traveling from Bolingbrook, IL to Winthrop, MA encountering snowstorms throughout the region. Due to the fact that I would have had to assemble the unit outside I contacted R&L Carriers (who apologized for not being able to delivery my unit until Friday since the recent snow did not allow them to off load the road trailer for local delivery) and was able to reroute my shipment to my local Ariens Dealer who was not only amazed that I found the machine but received it, assembled it, fueled it, ran it and could have sold it ten times before dropping it of to me on Saturday (one week after I placed my order with Snow Blowers Direct).
I recall the young fellow who dropped it off from the hardware stores stating "This MUST be a great machine since everyone who came into the store was very impressed with it.
Needless to say the unit has been used now for two major storms that followed and has performed as it was described. With a 11.5hp motor I am able to throw snow anywhere from 3-50 foot from the machine. This allows for quicker cleanup since with the old machine I had to clear the same snow two to three times since I have a large parking area in my back yard and a long driveway to clear.
I cannot state enough how impressed I was with Snow Blowers Direct process that outlined choices clearly and by the vendors they choose to move the orders.
Snow Blowers Direct is a Five Star company in my book.
Thank you to everyone at SBD.
