Competitive Edge Products | Infopia Comparison

A Quick Explanation of Our Main Website and Infopia.

We often get questions about two sites people run into that have our logo and products on. They do not have the same pricing.

Competitive Edge Products, Inc. Purposes:

Our main website is where we do most of our business. For this purpose, the majority of our offerings will have very competitive pricing and certain guaranteed offers such as free shipping. The example I wish to illustrate here is concering our Lifetime Sheds category page and the resultant pricing.

We had a customer order a shed size measuring 11' x 21' over the phone. On our website, we do not have a shed listing measuring 11' x 21'. In fact, Lifetime Products does not even make a shed that large. To achieve this size, we take the base model, 6415, and than add 2.5 ft. extensions until we reach 21' in length. At the bottom of our Lifetime Shed category page are a series of links for specifically sized sheds, which are larger than the base models. To simplify the process for those shoppers who wish go it alone, we link to those sizes on our Infopia site.

Competitive Edge Infopia Site Purposes:

The Infopia site exists for two purposes: 1, it allows us to quickly list products to eBay and 2, it allows us to list multiple SKU's to the same page. So, in the example of the 11' x 21' Lifetime storage shed, we see that there are a series of SKU's that make of that product page, a 6415 and 3 qty. 0125's. This page allows a go it alone customer to quickly add the product to their cart and checkout. However, you will notice both on the Lifetime Shed category page on our main website, as well as at the top of the Infopia site, there are no guaranteed free shipping offers on these sheds or any other product listed on Infopia (though many products are listed specifically as free shipping on Infopia). This goes back to purpose 1 of the Infopia site on eBay. eBay charges fees for the final value of your sale price. To minimize these fees, and by implication lower the price for the customer, we sometimes do not include shipping in the Infopia shed prices because eBay will not charge selling fees to shipping costs. So, in the case of the 11' x 21' Lifetime Shed the price is $2699.99 with shipping at $375.00 for a total of about $3075. However, if a customer were to call in and speak with a salesman, we would put together the same size shed for about $2895.00, as of the date of this posting, by using the pricing on our main website and putting to together the different models to form the 11x21.

This business practice is not meant to trick or decieve, which is hopefully plain from the fact I am publicly writing about, but is meant to offer convenience to those who want convenience, and better pricing for our eBay customers.

Please leave your comments here if you have any other questions concerning our pricing methods.

Competitive Edge New Item Mango Mattresses

Competitive Edge has acquired a new supplier providing a revolutionary product called the Mango Mattress. Since this a newer item for us, we have not yet received much feedback on the quality of these items. So for this post we will refer you to the supplier's website where they have posted a couple of informative videos. These videos show how the mango mattress system works. In words, the mattress itself is compressed with a patented technology, and the air in the plastic covering is removed. The mattress is then rolled up and put into a box, making it one of the most portable mattress purchases ever, just put it in the back seat of your car to bring it home. When you unpackage the mattress, it will immediately begin to return to its original form within a few moments. If you have purchased a mango mattress from us, or anywhere else, please leave your product feedback here so others can understand the benefits and shortcomings of this unit.

Competitive Edge Products, Inc. vs. The Competitive Edge

This will be a quick post hopefully to help out current and future customers. We often get customers who call in or email us and ask us about products like scales and similar fitness items. While we, Competitive Edge Products, Inc., do sell similar items there is a similar company called The Competitive Edge that these customers are actually looking for. The dead give away is when they ask for scales, which we don't carry and never have carried. At the same time, after talking to some reps from The Competitive Edge, they get customers asking them for basketball hoops, which they don't carry, who are actually looking for us. Please visit our Competitive Edge storefront site if you are looking for camping equipment, basketball hoops, Lifetime Products, folding tables, folding chairs, office equipment, and fitness equipment.
