Importing a Mobility Scooter
With the internet everyone is looking for a deal on something. That's why you're here at Affordable Senior Scooters... you are using the tools at your fingertips to get access to the best opportunity possible.
Here are some things to consider when considering importing a scooter from another country.
- Warranty - this is the most important consideration from my perspective. You might get a warranty on a scooter from another country but that warranty generally is only valid for the country where it bought.
- Repairs - make sure whatever model you are considering buying that there are parts and service available for that type of scooter locally.
- If you are importing, often shipping by sea is the only option. Many companies that offer scooters cheaply will want to ship in large quantities to reduce the price so see if there are other around you who might be interested.
- It is possible to get a scooter FLOWN in. Scooters can only be shipped by air if they are shipped WITHOUT the battery. Scooter batteries are available most places in the world
