WARNING

Be careful of purchasing a kayak during "run-out" sales

What looks like a bargain (especially if it is heavily discounted) can actually turn out to be a pain in the long run.

If a store is discontinuing a brand/product, it usually means that they will no longer have a relationship with the importer, and this can leave you with limited support in the event of a warranty issue or when requiring replacement parts.

There have been a number of changes in the paddling industry in recent years with brands moving between different importers.

Your problem could be...
Who is responsible if you have a warranty issue??

  • The previous importer has no incentive to fix any problems you have
  • The current importer will probably say that it is not their problem because the craft was not supplied by them, and
  • With the parent company overseas, this can leave you in no-mans land.

Because of a couple of experiences like this in the past where importers have changed, Kayaks Australia purchases most of our watercraft direct from local manufacturers or from the manufacturer's representative in Australia.

If you have any questions or would like further information, please contact us.
