On Sept 26, 2024 I paid $1000 to Medispa, Spa World ********** to evaluate my bathroom to see if their walk in tub could be installed in the location. On October 2nd they sent out lead installer ****** **** to evaluate the location and he approved the install. I explained to the company representative ******* ****** that we would be leaving at the end of Novemeber for the winter and would not return til May2025, she guarenteed me that the tub would be delivered in 2 weeks and the install only takes a day, I paid them another deposit of $5000 so that could order the tub. They came on ******** 14th to install the tub. The crew they sent came from ******* and therefore didn't arrive til around 1pm , stayed until 10pm and obviously did not know what to do. The tub surround was installed improperly, the tub couldn't be wired or tested. The next day an electrician wired the tub and discovered a leak, that he couldn't fix and certain feautures on the contract, that the tub should of had were ********** chromotherapy lights, heater.The company sent technicians to my house twice in December and could not fix anything. I am still waiting for this to be done. Their representative Daph has been in touch with me to say things will be done, still waiting.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:The company has made many promises to fix the problems with the tub and the improper installation. I can not trust that it will be corrected but remain hopeful. I therefore want to keep this complaint active until at least the middle of May. They told me they will contact me the first week in May to arrange to come to my house to fix everything. I would like to keep this complaint open.

Ordered on 4/4/2024. Immediately paid the $85.00 over the phone. 20 days later and they still have not shipped the parts from the warehouse. Called 4 times and was told the manager taking them to the post office. Also on a later call, the manager was notified and was supposed to call back but never did.

The listing on the walk in tub we bought said that it included ten (10) clear silicone tubes, double sided adhesive strips and two (2) caulking tubes which we never received and now they are telling us that they wont send them or compensate us for them.Customer Answer
Date: 12/06/2023
Home Products is telling me that they will not compensate us for the missing **** and adhesive stating it was a listing error. I told them that I didnt care because it was their mistake and I bought the tub because all those items were included. They need to compensate us at least with a **** gift card to cover the cost of the missing itemsBusiness Response
Date: 12/07/2023
(10) clear silicone tubes, double sided adhesive strips and two (2) caulking tubes was indeed a listing error. Additionally, the customer did not pay for these, they were FREE. At this time, we are unable to send the materials wrongly announced in the listing.Customer Answer

Complaint: 20944034
I am rejecting this response because:Ive read the response from Spa World and those items were not free! I paid for them as part of the order. The order listed all those items included in the purchase of the tub. Nothing in the listing says they were free! Now they are saying it was a listing error which is their fault, not mine. I told them to give me a **** Gift card to replace the missing caulk tubes. They need to make this right!

We purchased an extended warranty for $450 on this walk-in tub which we paid $5,000 for. The tub developed a problem it blew the aromatherapy cap off and the cap went flying across the room. One month ago I contacted SW to try to arrange for a repair under the warranty. They consistently put me on hold for 15 minutes at a time while I tried to deal with this. Eventually after a month of back and forth which involved perhaps 20 emails they sent the parts to effectuate the repair along with a form they want to filled out with the estimate which they want to approve ahead of time. This is not a practical arrangement as it would require a plumber to make two trips for which he would charge. The warranty explicitly states they will not pay travel cost. I have been in touch with them trying to get them to approve a warranty repair without having to fill out and submit the form and wait while they approved it. The response to this request was to put me on hold for 45 minutes. I'm still waiting for them to call me back with approval so that the plumber can make this installation. These folks have been very difficult I would never do business with them again and they don't seem quite honest as they refuse to answer the phone if they don't like what you're going to say.I finally got some action when I suggested to them that I would file a lawsuit and ask to be made as I was. At this time they have not responded.I'd be happy if you would advise.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I have been jumping through hoops for these people for a month and more. I am not jumping through anymore hoops. They say they have to have a form to honor the warranty but that is not in the warranty contract which I provided you. We will go according to the contract. The contract says they will reimburse me it does not say anything about giving them a quote ahead of timeI'm happy to provide them with a quote if they give me a call but I am not going to submit their form. I never agreed to do any such thing.
My case number is ******. These people darn well know who I am. They also know for a fact that I have the extended warranty.
I'm not jumping any through any more hoops I want this repaired right away.
I will sue
They want a hundred bucks to come take a look. If their build is refused I'm out the money because the warranty says travel will not be paid for.
This whole business with the form they have to have submitted is an attempt to deny the terms of the warranty.
I will hire a lawyer and ask to be made as I was before in court if they do not pay for this repair

I purchased a shower panel, specifically model SP-AZ022, order 113-5264586-5646658, at a cost exceeding $400.00. Upon its installation, I encountered a significant issue: only the spout functioned properly, while the shower head, hand wand, and body jets remained non-functional.In March, I reached out to the technical support team, engaging in a month-long troubleshooting process that involved sharing pictures and videos illustrating the product's malfunction. After careful assessment, the technical support team recommended a function cartridge replacement. However, they explained that this replacement would not be covered by the warranty due to my modification during the troubleshooting process, which I completely understood.Following their guidance, on June 26, I placed an order for the suggested part under order #SOS2804253. Unfortunately, after waiting for three weeks, I received an incorrect part designed for a different model system. I promptly contacted customer service, providing them with the requested pictures of both the received part and my shower panel. This process repeated itself, with another incorrect part arriving nearly three weeks later.I called the back, a new case, CASE34511, was opened on August 21, and I was asked to supply pictures of the incorrectly sent parts. Since then, I have made frequent calls to inquire about the status of the part. Regrettably, despite numerous assurances, I have yet to receive any meaningful update. I have also requested to speak with a supervisor, but they have consistently been unavailable.My only request is for the correct part to be promptly dispatched to me. Alternatively, I would appreciate either a replacement shower panel or a refund for the shower panel purchase. Regrettably, I cannot cancel the part order, as I have invested a substantial amount of money into this shower panel.Business Response

This order is from 2021, mentioning installation comments have nothing to do with what is happening at this time. It is clear we've been trying to resolve the issue for this customer. Parts are subject to availability. We will have our team reach out again and offer a final solution which would be selling a brand new unit at a good discount. To be clear, the warranty is only for parts, and parts are subject to being available.Customer Answer

If we weren't assisting, how did this customer receive multiple parts, correctly. The only way to receive parts is if we receive a call and we assist. That said, the last statement is false, we've been in contact trying to resolve the issue just like we do with every single customer.
Now that this issue is corrected, the part sent worked and the issue is resolved, please close this case.Customer Answer
Date: 09/08/2023
Complaint: 20563029
I am rejecting this response due to several reasons:
Firstly, as previously mentioned, I will proceed with the installation of the part once I am able to shut off the main household water supply.
The issue at hand with this company lies in their apparent lack of understanding of customer service, a fact that is evident not only from my personal experience but also from their responses on this forum. It is clear that they are failing to take responsibility for their mistakes. I had to resort to filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau just to get someone to contact me. It's worth noting that I placed my order for the part a staggering 2.5 months ago, and yet they still managed to send the incorrect item. The only reason they acknowledged this mistake was because one of their knowledgeable representatives called me, worked with me, and informed me that although the part was not what I originally ordered, it could still be used as it included the component I needed. It is disheartening that nobody else within the company noticed this discrepancy.In short: I ordered function cartridge and I received faucet body 2, twice 2.5 months ago. Someone called me yesterday and explained to me that I could the faucet body as it includes the cartridge. I will install it when time permits and close the case when the part is working.

I am rejecting this response because the quality of edited photos they post on the website and the product quality is not the same. I should be offered a free return or some sort of a adjustment if i am forced to keep the product. I have contact your support but no resolution. If you advertise a quality your shipped product should be the same and if the client is not happy with the quality he should be allowed a return at to extra cost. This is what the ask was.
