When you thoroughly compare All-Star Inflatables products to the imports our competitors are selling, we offer you the best value for your dollar.
Once upon a time, all Inflatable Play Structures were made either in the United States or the United Kingdom where they were first invented over 40 years ago. But as with most things in life, things change. In the last five years, most U.S. “manufacturers” have thrown in the towel and are no longer making their own Inflatables. They’re now importing China made Inflatables and passing them off as “Made in the U.S.A.” In addition, a new breed of internet phonies are posing as “manufacturers”and selling “China made Inflatables” or acting as a distributor for some other inflatable company importing from China.
The fact of the matter is there are only a few manufacturers left that still build their entire product line of Inflatables right here in the good old U.S.A. Even the so-called “Cutting Edge” companies of the industry are importing China made inflatables. All-Star Inflatables is proud to say that we build our entire line in the U.S. with lead free non-China vinyl. It’s more expensive, but far superior in durability to China made vinyl that our competitors are using. And yes, in spite of what you have been told, there is a big difference in Safety, Quality, Craftsmanship, and Durability. Simply put, All-Star inflatables products can’t be matched by cheap imported Inflatables from China.
We believe (and so do our loyal customers) that paying a little more for your Inflatables can save you a lot of money in the long run, not to mention a whole lot of aggravation and lost customers! Buying the cheapest Inflatables can many times turn out to be a very expensive mistake. Combos
You should ask yourself how much in lost rental revenue you will incur if that bargain Inflatable falls apart in a few months, right in the middle of your busy season. A lot more than you might think. And good luck trying to get it fixed in less than a month or two. (Especially if it has to be shipped back to China for repairs.)
During that time, you would have lost 10-15 rentals multiplied by your average rental rate which could cost you as much as Two Thousand Dollars or more each time your China Inflatable is out for repair. The few hundred dollars you thought you were saving when you bought your China Inflatable has now turned your “Great Deal” into the most expensive Inflatable you’ve ever purchased!
We see this happen all the time. We can tell you countless stories (even from some of our own Customers who strayed) that some lessons are learned the hard way. At All-Star Inflatables, we strive every day to build the Safest, most Durable and Attractive Inflatables in the world which are guaranteed to give you the best Return on Investmentfor your money!
Like most of our competitors, we too could have taken the easy way out by giving away American jobs and going the cheap route by making our products overseas. And while it would be much more profitable for us to do so, we believe our customers would pay the price in the form of inferior quality of raw materials and substandard workmanship.
Like them, we could start cutting corners by buying cheap foreign vinyl, inexpensive thread and single stitching our units. We could also cut corners on many of our exclusive safety features to save even more money. We could eliminate many unique features that make our units user-friendly to save a few more bucks. Hey, while we’re at it, why not also cancel our product liability insurance and save a fortune! A lot of our competition has! (you should be insisting on written proof of product liability insurance from our competition.)
But you know what, if we did do all of those things, we would be just like them…selling you an inferior imported product that may not be safe, isn’t going to last nearly as long, and from a company that probably has no product liability insurance. Fortunately for our Customers, that’s not what All-Star Inflatables is all about.
We believe you cannot control Safety, Quality, and Production Times if your products are being made a world away. And because All-Star Inflatables has built its’ reputation on Quality, Safety, and exceptional Customer Service, we have a responsibility to continue that tradition for our Customers.
We sincerely hope that before you make the decision on whom you’re going to buy from, you ask all the right questions, then consider all the facts, features, and benefits of doing business with each company you’re comparing and resist the temptation to buy on price alone. Like a trusted advisor once told me, “A smart investment is one you still feel good about many years down the road.”
