To whom it may concern:
My husband and I purchased a Clearwater Spa from a local Arlington Washington dealer All Season Spa and Stove..
We looked and did our own research in order to make the best decision both financially, logistically and what we expected from the spa itself. Thus came to the local dealer in Arlington; All Season Spa and Stove .
We visited several times and finally made a decision to purchase in December of 2013. A decision we woefully regret.
We originally spoke with your local distributor; All Season Spa and Stove; he was able to sway our decision to purchase from; Costco, because "Costco, only drops the spa off on your property and the rest is up to you". This description is fitting for your dealer; All Season Spa and Stove, So, our decision was made and we purchased a Clearwater Spa from your dealer; All Season Spa and Stove. The Spa was dropped off on our property and in the area we created for the Spa. We were not coached on how, or what peramitters were necessary to accommodate the Clearwater Spa; we reasearched on line and consulted on line booklets.
After our Clearwater Spa was dropped on our property, All Season Spa and Stove; left without instruction nor assistance. Your dealer; All Season Spa and Stove; said he would return to install the thermal lift cover. Your dealer; All Season Spa and Stove; did so, after many unanswered phone calls, and after your dealer's claims of, 'hey it is the holidays'. Of course our check cleared without regard to, "Hey, it's the Holidays".
Your dealer; All Season Spa and Stove; dropped off chemicals with the Spa, with no instruction, Your dealer; All Season Spa and Stove; shorted us the chemicals described in the Clearwater pamphlet as to what was necessary for start up. Again when called several times, again our calls were unanswered. Finally your dealer; All Season Spa and Stove; returned our call to tell us, "Hey, those chemicals are 80.00!". We suggested that was not our responsibility, that this was outlined in the delivery/start-up in the Clearwater installation pamphlet. We requested that the shorted chemicals be delivered ASAP. Again after several attempts your dealer; All Season Spa and Stove; finally delivered. However, your dealer; All Season Spa and Stove; did not call before delivery , did not ring our doorbell, did not knock on our door. Your dealer; All Season Spa and Stove; drove to our home stepped up to our front porch, dropped off the chemicals and left it there for us to, eventually find. I must say this is the worst customer service we have ever encountered in our lifetime. When delivered, we were at our home, lights and TV on, with out of town family in our home.
Since this time we have had many a problem, made aware to your dealer; All Season Spa and Stove; with the balancing of our Spa water is/was problematic, most likely due to being shorted the, "80.00", chemicals initially. And being a new Clearwater Spa owner and operator. Your dealer; All Season Spa and Stove; has never lent support in anyway.
I know Clearwater Spa and your dealer;All Season Spa and Stove; is aware the expense of a Spa is huge, In return for the investment of this size, a customer expects a certain level of customer service. Your dealer; All Season Spa and Stove; has fallen woefully short in this arena, and is unequivocally the worst in customer service we have ever encountered.
As you know; All Season Spa and Stove; is a representive of your Company, Clearwater Spa.
That being said your dealer; All Season Spa and Stove; deserves to have his dealership of Clearwater Spas revoked immediately. We as the customers deserve to have your company try to make this hellish experience of purchasing a Spa to create tranquility and health, something less than the most expensive and stressfull nightmare of any purchase of any product we have ever made.
We are so much more that disappointed/disillusioned, in your dealer; All Season Spa and Stove; your chosen representative of Clearwater Spa, in Arlington Washington.
At this point we cannot separated one from the other. We will make certain that should anyone we come in contact with want a Spa or Stove, that one; All Season Spa and Stove; is not the dealer and two; Clearwater Spa; by way of association is not the company anyone should choose, ever.
Disappointed. read more
