When it comes to buying a TV antenna, finding the right one is probably at the top of your priority list. After all, what good is an antenna if it does not work properly? The second thing that should be of concern but is, unfortunately, not so focused on is where you buy your antenna from. Would you like to buy a Tempur-pedic mattress that costs $3,000 from a warehouse that sells their products as-is with no warranties or no exchange or refund policy? The same can be applied to the antenna. Although it obviously does not cost as much as that mattress, you have to make sure that the retailer that you purchase it from can guarantee their products.
Finding a retailer who has ethical practices and excellent customer service might seem like a fairly easy task to accomplish, but you would be surprised to find customers just like you who bought a TV antenna, or any other item for that matter, from a seemingly reputable company, only to be extremely disappointed with their customer service and tech support.
When dealing with any online retailer, it's better to call to place your order so that you can ask any questions that you may have and so you can see what their customer service is like. First impressions are important, and if the person who answers your phone call is rude, abrupt, or impatient, imagine what it would be like if you had to call them again for technical support. If, however, the agent is friendly, courteous, and seems to have a genuine interest in helping you out, then you've got a winner.
You might also want to avoid online retailers that are biased towards a particular product. Avoid sites that feature only one brand, especially if you want an unbiased recommendation. Retailers that carry but one brand name and their line of products will push you to buy theirs while claiming that all others will not do the job as effectively.
You need to find a retailer that offers a refund policy of some sort, perhaps a 30-day money back guarantee. Some items might work well for the first few days but fail for some reason or another after another few days. You want a retailer that will ship you a brand new product that was factory sealed by the manufacturer so that you get the full spectrum of the warranty.
