Return Shipping Policy

 

We are unable to credit you for handling charges. Charges for shipping returned products back to us are your responsibility. You may wish to purchase shipping insurance for returns items as return shipments are not covered by Hot Tubs Ottawa inc. We will exchange or refund your purchase, as you request. Hot Tubs Ottawa is not responsible for return shipments or the transfer of returned goods. We will only absorb shipping costs in the event that the return is a result of our error, however we take no responsibility for any errors in any diagnostic assistance we provide, if you want exact diagnosis of your problem you will need to pay a qualified technician to come out and diagnose your issue. If an incorrect address is provided we will not assume any costs/losses due to this error.  Please allow 10 business days from the date you return your package for your refund to be credited or your exchange to be completed.  Once your order is placed we may have to order in out of stock items, if you cancel your order after it is placed, you will be responsible for freight and re-stocking fees on those items.

 

Damaged Product

 

In the event that a product is received damaged, you must notify us within 24 hours of receiving the item (s) (excludes covers). If no details of damage are reported upon receipt, the product insurance will be nullified and will therefore be your responsibility.  You must submit pictures of all damaged packing materials and keep the damaged product and packaging until notified as they may need to be submitted for a claim.  Failure to provide evidence of damaged materials may nullify your claim.

All hot tub covers require a signature at time of receiving. Please inspect the condition of the cover and packaging. Refuse the shipment should there be any damage to the cover. Once the cover has been signed for, we can no longer accept returns due to the cover being damaged during shipment.
