Hello Mr Whittaker,
I am sorry you felt you had to leave such a harsh review regarding our service. Our first most interest is always to make sure our customers purchase the best hot tub to suit their needs and provide the most informative service.
I would like to reply by stating that our confirmation of order that you did sign, does state it is not refundable. There is a lot of work that goes into an order within the first few days, and this particular product was specially ordered in just for you, which we now have sitting in stock. Regarding your comment on a site survey, we complete a site survey as part of our package because we want to be able to attend and install your hot tub with the correct install equipment needed and as smoothly as possible. This is shown in your survey information, as it is not a straightforward install, an online company will have issues. We have installed 100’s of hot tubs, most of our customers have never installed one, so we do not wish for them to have to provide pictures on what they think may be the route it would have to take unless that is the only option. It’s part of our service, which many customers like, as it is also a chance for us to answer any question or concerns you may have and we can also check your electrics and base if you would like us too, as for many it can be a bit of a daunting experience.
You did not actually sign your order on the day, you went home and thought about it, then found it cheaper online and asked us to match it, which we did, before you signed the order. Within two days, your site survey had been completed, your spa had been ordered and delivered to our store and your paperwork all completed. Which I hope would be the service you would expect. It was only later in the week when you came back asking for addition products to be included, that we were no longer able to match the price. On our side of the order, we have done all we can. Unfortunately, the point that you have now chosen not to purchase the product from us is entirely down to you. And we are sorry we have not been able, on this occasion, been able to install your hot tub for you. You informed us that you were putting the purchasing on hold for a hot tub at the moment, as already had a hot tub which you were trying to return, we did state that although your deposit was not refundable, we would hold it on file should you ever wish to use it against another hot tub.
As a company we cannot refund to one and not to others, which is why we have signed confirmation of orders, with all the information clearly set out, and you must read and sign before we go ahead.
I am sorry that in this instance you have felt you have been treated unfairly and felt the need to complain on our website. Our aim to try to provide a friendly helpful service to every customer.
