How should I proceed if I find another website offering the same product at a lower price?

Our commitment is to offer competitive pricing within the pool and patio industry.

How does freight delivery for large items work?

Items that are too large for standard parcel delivery ship via freight carrier. Once your order is scheduled, you will receive shipping confirmation with tracking information and any relevant delivery details.

Freight shipments include lift gate service and curbside delivery only. The driver will lower the item from the truck to the ground at the curb but is not responsible for moving it into your home, garage, or backyard. We strongly recommend arranging assistance in advance to help move the product to its final location.

Some freight deliveries may require a scheduled appointment and a signature upon arrival. Please inspect your shipment carefully before signing for delivery.
