England 19/03/2013 – More people are buying their wheelchairs online than ever before.
In the past few years, the way people shop has changed drastically. They are increasingly buying more of their goods on the web. In the UK around about 5.2% of everything people buy is brought online. At times like Christmas that figure increases to a staggering 12%. People are buying all sorts of products this way, so more goods are becoming available via the web. It is even possible to buy powered wheelchairs online, and they are selling well.
This increase in online sales of wheelchairs has surprised some people. It seems odd to some people that someone would want to buy something as individual as a wheelchair online. They assume that someone who is buying a wheelchair would want to try it out first. In reality, a lot of the people who are buying their wheelchairs are replacing one. These people already have a good understanding of what they are looking for, so feel confident in buying a wheelchair this way. Even those who are looking for their first wheelchair have confidence in shopping on the web. Most wheelchair vendors provide very detailed information about the chairs they stock and happily accept returns. In addition, the best give very good advice over the phone and web to ensure people make the right buying decision.
Better choice and lower prices
In addition, buying a wheelchair from the web gives people a much better choice than they would otherwise have. It allows them to shop around and secure the best price possible. For many people with mobility issues this is exceptionally important because they are often living on a tight budget. Many do not own a car, so cannot run around different shops looking at wheelchairs. For them shopping online is the most practical option.
Simple Life Mobility was one of the first UK firms to offer people the chance to buy a wheelchair on the web. This pioneering move proved to be the right one because their online sales of wheelchairs, especially powered wheelchairs, have steadily grown. They have provided choice that most people would not otherwise have.
