Hi Helena,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns in detail.
First, we’d like to clarify that during the time of your purchase and initial inquiries, we were in the middle of our busiest season, including Black Friday and the subsequent days. While we were inundated with calls and messages, we made every effort to respond within a couple of days. We understand your frustration, but it’s not accurate to say we were unresponsive, we’ve consistently strived to assist you as quickly as possible given the circumstances and resources available to us as a small team.
Regarding the delivery delays, we fully acknowledge that this process did not go as smoothly as it should have. The freight company rescheduled multiple times, and while they’ve successfully handled thousands of sauna shipments in the past, their refusal to deliver due to the package's weight was highly unusual. We regret the inconvenience caused by this situation and worked diligently with our supplier to ensure the sauna eventually arrived.
Our supplier informed us that they were in direct communication with you during the delivery issues. If this wasn’t your experience, we sincerely apologize, it was our understanding that they were assisting you.
As for the missing components and electrical issues, we are actively working to resolve these matters for you. We agree that any missing components, such as a sensor, should have prevented setup until resolved for safety reasons. We communicated this to you and are in the process of addressing it.
Regarding your mention of a six-day response time, we would like to clarify the timeline. Your initial messages were sent over the weekend, and the following Monday was a federal holiday. While we missed your follow-up upon returning, it was an oversight amidst high volumes of requests. We sincerely apologize for this but feel that calling it a six-day delay is somewhat misleading.
We understand how disappointing this experience has been, and we are committed to resolving the remaining issues promptly. Customer satisfaction is our top priority, and we will continue working to make things right for you.
Alex
