How It Works

How to start a return

Starting a return is straightforward. Follow these four steps — if you have questions at any point, our team is here to help.

01

Contact Us

Email our support team with your order number and the item you'd like to return. Include a brief reason for the return.

02

Get Authorization

We'll review your request and send return instructions with a return authorization number (RMA). Do not ship items back without an RMA.

03

Ship the Item

Pack the item securely in its original packaging with all accessories. Ship to the address provided in your return instructions.

04

Inspection & Refund

Once we receive and inspect the item, we'll process your refund to the original payment method within 10 days.

Condition Requirements

What qualifies for a return

We accept returns for both defective and non-defective products. Products must be new only — unused, unassembled, and in original packaging. To be eligible for a return, your item must meet these condition requirements. Items that don't meet these standards may be refused or subject to additional fees.

Original Packaging

Items must be returned in their original, undamaged packaging. Repack carefully — damaged packaging may reduce your refund or result in a restocking fee.

Unused & Unassembled

Products must be unused, unassembled, and in resalable condition. Installed saunas, filled hot tubs, and installed steam showers are non-returnable.

All Accessories Included

Include all accessories, manuals, remotes, hardware, and documentation that came with the product. Missing parts may be deducted from your refund.

No Modifications

Products modified, altered, or damaged through improper installation, misuse, or unauthorized repairs are non-returnable. Keep your product in its original condition.

Restocking & Fees

Restocking fees & charges

Restocking fees help cover the cost of inspecting, repackaging, and returning large items to inventory. Here's how fees work — and when they don't apply.

Restocking Fee

A restocking fee of 15% of the product price applies to all returned items. This covers the cost of inspecting, repackaging, and returning the product to inventory.

15% of product price

Return Freight

Return shipping is the customer's responsibility. Items must be returned by mail. We'll provide return instructions and the return address when we issue your RMA.

Customer-paid

Original Shipping

Original shipping charges are non-refundable on change-of-mind returns. The restocking fee is calculated on the product price, not the shipping cost.

Non-refundable

Defective or Our Error

If the return is due to a defective product or our error, we cover return shipping and waive restocking fees. We'll arrange a replacement or full refund at no cost to you.

No cost to you
Non-Returnable Items

What can't be returned

Some items can't be returned once they've been used, installed, or modified. Review this list before purchasing — and contact us before installation if you're unsure.

Installed or Assembled Items

Saunas that have been assembled, hot tubs that have been filled, and steam showers that have been installed or plumbed are non-returnable.

Filled Hot Tubs

Hot tubs that have been filled with water, treated with chemicals, or used in any way cannot be returned. Inspect your tub before filling.

Filled Cold Plunges

Cold plunges that have been filled with water or had chemicals added are non-returnable for health and safety reasons. Inspect before filling.

Custom & Special Orders

Custom-configured or special-order items are non-returnable unless defective. We'll confirm custom status before you purchase.

Missing Packaging or Parts

Items returned without original packaging, accessories, or documentation may be refused or subject to additional deductions.

Misuse or Modifications

Products damaged by improper installation, misuse, unauthorized modifications, or neglect are non-returnable. Follow the included instructions.

Refunds

How refunds work

Once we receive and inspect your return, here's how your refund is processed and what to expect on your statement.

Original Payment Method

Refunds are issued to your original payment method — credit card, debit card, or the account used at checkout. We cannot refund to a different card or account.

Processing Time

Refunds are processed within 10 days after we receive and inspect the returned item. This is our total refund processing time, including inspection.

Bank Processing

After we issue the refund, your bank or card issuer may take an additional 3–7 business days to post it to your statement. This is outside our control.

Refund Confirmation

You'll receive an email confirmation when your refund is processed. If you don't see the refund on your statement after 10 business days, contact your bank first, then us.
