We should have been told that the tubs was to be put on a finished floor as we held off from retailing our floor until install was completed…instead we went through the entire install only to find out after the complete install that the tub was on legs…now we have a beautiful tub sitting on a bare plywood floor that is not watertight or water proof

Numerous Issues
The company did not inform me of their arrival prior to the day before the followup inspection or to confirm install of the handrail like was promised. They changed the delivery and install date, and only gave me one day notice instead of the 4 weeks I originally planned for. The inspection failed because the inspector did not know how to do the inspection. Safe-Step sent their repairman out for the re-inspection, but he said that was not his job (he doesn't work for Maricopa inspection offce), and I have yet to receive a written document of a "passed inspection", from the Maricopa inspection office, and it has been 1-1/2 months. I was not provided with a license # for the contractor. The company asked for an order # and serial # for the tub for which original paperwork did not supply. The down payment I wrote a check for is listed as $4,000 when it was $3,000. Once I learned of the serial # two months later, I learn that the tub is a 2020 model when it was supposed to be brand new. In the meantime, I don't feel comfortable using the tub because I haven't received a "pass" for the inspection, and I want a safe shower/tub before using it. No one was getting back with me despite my phone calls and request through BBB. This is after having already paid $20,000 for the tub. I finally got notification in writing that the tub is safe to use, but that was after two months of waiting after the installation, writing to BBB and Trust-Pilot review. Since writing this review, Safe Step sent me a notice that the tub passed inspection; however, the inspector did not show up in person and went only by the photos provided. The hot and cold water is in reverse, and I was informed that I would need to use the water in the opposite direction with cold on the left and hot on the right. The contractor should've stopped the installation at that time and informed me of this problem and come to a solution for that, but instead told me about this after the install was complete. Instead, they are placing this dilemma on me to resolve. I was also informed that the water heater may not be sufficient for the 50 gallon tub when my water heater is 40 gallon. My water heater is almost brand new, and even if I were to request a 50 gallon one, the plumber told me that a 50 gallon won't fit in the location where the original one is located...this should've been addressed at the time, the salesman should've known that a 50 gallon one would not fit into that space.

The product is good but the sales person rushed and did not tell us what the payments will really be
The product is good but the sales person sucks. First the sales person was late the day of our appointment then when it came to the financing part he was rushing, we asked what the monthly payments will be he rushed to say it was just in the $200 range and submitted the application.
He insisted that all the information will be sent to us.
When we got our bill, yes the minimum payment was in the $200 range but it will cost us more in the interest rate and longer to pay off, but if you pay a triple the amount will save like $13K on the interest rate and pay it off with in 3 years.
We felt like we got scammed but I would not recommend this company to any of our friends and finally since the sale person is very unprofessional about the payment towards the product,
I would like to file a compliant ,please let me know where to address this.
I would defiantly like to prevent others from signing papers before getting all the necessary information on the financial part.

We were disappointed to read that this customer had some confusion regarding their financing. We did not know that customer had any questions about the financing until we received this review. No concerns over the financing agreement were expressed to us when we spoke to the customer after they received the financing agreement but before their product was installed. We certainly wish that we had known about the concerns so we could have addressed this with the customer. The financing agreement received by customer did have a rescission period to allow the customer to cancel the agreement for any reason. Customer is correct that the longer you take to complete your financing payments, the more you will pay in interest. Here, there is no penalty for pre-payment of the financing. We were pleased to see that the expected monthly payment conveyed by the Direct Seller was indeed correct. Again, we regret that there was any confusion and wish we had known about the concerns at an earlier date.
