Delivery Procedure
We ask for your telephone number in case there is either a problem with processing your payment or a problem with locating your property for delivery. If goods are returned to us because our courier cannot locate your property and we cannot contact you by telephone, then you will be responsible for the direct cost of that return. This charge is currently £11.95 per order.

Hot Tubs, Saunas and Gazebos:

For pallet based deliveries such as hot tubs, saunas, gazebos etc, delivery will be anytime between 8.00am and 6.00pm on the day agreed between you and us (via our delivery company).

Our delivery agents will contact you direct to arrange a convenient day for you to accept a pallet delivery. Your spa, sauna or gazebo will not be delivered until contact has been made and a delivery day and approximate time agreed with you.

Delivery promises are based on the assumption that there is an unobstructed good hard road giving adequate access by lorry to the delivery address, available storage space and suitable and sufficient labour to unload the goods. Hot tubs, saunas and gazebos will be delivered to a driveway only. The delivery driver will not install them. Installation can be arranged upon request and is charged as quoted at the time.

Spa Accessories, Chemicals and other Consumables:

We usually use a courier parcel delivery service. Our courier will only deliver on week-days and they are unable to leave parcels without a signature, If you instruct us to request our courier to leave your goods without signature, the responsibility falls on you and we will not be held responsible for lost items. We will ask our courier to leave your goods in your preferred location but we cannot guarantee that they will always comply with our instructions.

If they are not requested to leave the parcel without a signature and you are not at home when they attempt to deliver, our courier will leave a card giving further details for you to re-arrange a delivery or to collect from the depot. The courier will normally only keep parcels for five working days before returning them to us, so please don't order just before you are due to go away for an extended period. If a parcel is returned to us by our courier because they were unable to get a signature you will be responsible for the cost of that return and also for the additional cost of resending the goods to you. This charge is currently £11.95 per order.
