Problems with your order
For all shipping disputes or any shipping related complaints, please make sure to contacts us via email to support@poolnspastore.com within 30 days from the date of shipment. Carriers can only store tracking information for 30 days.
Product Pricing
Prices are subject to change. We get our products from many distributors and sometimes the parts are out of stock if the shipments are delayed. When that happens but you already placed the order online, we contact USA local dealers and try to get the part(s) for you. Local dealer price is usually always higher than the price we get from our distributors. In that case, we will offer price change and you can accept it or cancel your order. We never do price increase nor re-bill your credit card before we contact you via email or over the phone to ask for approval. Pool N Spa Store reserves right to cancel your order and give full refund if you are not responsive or do not want to proceed with a new price.
If in case a product is listed at an incorrect price due to typographical error, an error in pricing update or otherwise, Pool N Spa Store shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for that product(s) listed.
Pool N Spa Store shall have the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and the User's credit card charged. If the credit card has already been charged, Pool and Spa Parts Depot shall issue a credit to the User's credit card account in the amount of the charge.
Payments
Pool and Spa Parts accepts all major credit cards including Visa, Master Card, American Express, and Discover through the website. You can also purchase your products through PayPal. All credit cards are processed through Authorize.net Credit Card Services for the security of your personal information as we do not see your credit card information. See Privacy Policy. If you pay through PayPal with a delayed payment your order will not be shipped until payment is final. Shipping is either USPS, ground, or 2-3 Business Day through a variety of shippers depending on your location.
Shipping
We can ship to virtually any address in the world. Note that there are restrictions on some products, and some products cannot be shipped to international destinations.
When you place an order, we will estimate shipping and delivery dates for you based on the availability of your items and the shipping options you choose. Depending on the shipping provider you choose, shipping date estimates may appear on the shipping quotes page. We reserve the right to cancel an order if the shipping is higher than what was charged through the automated website especially for international orders.
Please also note that the shipping rates for many items we sell are weight-based. The weight of any such item can be found on its detail page. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full pound.
Cancellation
If you request that an order be canceled before it ships, we will pass on any cancellation or restocking charges that are charged from our suppliers or warehouses. It may take up to one week for the refund to complete.

*Important Notice on Returning Items* We understand that this process can be an added inconvenienced to your online shopping experience so we want to outline the process and procedure for you to speed up the process here and what to expect. We use warehouses all over the country to ship products to you fastest way possible. Sometimes issues with thousands of shipments coming in and out daily from these warehouses can happen. We apologize in advance if you are the .005% that are reading this because of an item that has to be returned. We do not pay for shipping back to the warehouses unless this is a fault of the websites (wrong item in package) If the item has a manufacturer defect and needs to be returned, the shipping on the item back to the warehouse is paid by the customer as we are not the manufacturer of the product. If the package is damaged in transit then the warehouse that shipped the item will file a UPS, FED EX, or USPS Claim on the item, this process will require you to take a picture of the damaged item and the box the item came in and send an email along with the picture to support@poolnspastore.com. It's best to take multiple angles of the picture so the warehouse does not ask for more pictures. Here is a list of Do's and Don'ts on the shipping process:
#1 Do not ship the item back on your own without contacting us assuming the return address of your package is where the item actually shipped from. Most of the time that is the wrong address. Some drop shippers use their corporate business location that could be in another state, which you may have to call your package back from the shipper before it gets there.
#2 Do not ship the item back without an RMA number (Return Merchandise Authorization) that we will give you , once you email us that you have a problem with an item we will contact the warehouse that shipped the item on your behalf and they will send us an RMA number that we will email you and then you will put the RMA number on the box or inside the box that you are returning back to the warehouse. Most customers use a sharpie and write (RMA - #######). These warehouses can receive thousands of products daily to stock their shelves and thousands of products go out to customers. Just think.... If a random 12"X12" box comes to the warehouse along with thousands of other products with a name on the box that they don't recognize as a manufacture of a product that they ordered, or a box without an RMA #, that box will get put aside and dealt with once all of the other boxes are received. If the package has an RMA number on the side of the box, then they will put that box in the RMA pile and they have specialists just for doing RMA's. You do not want your box going into the pile that no one wants to go through (the mystery pile). The reason I say that is because I personally worked for Amazon shipping and receiving for 8 years, so trust me on that. Those packages just sit for a while. This information that I just explained to you, most internet retailers won't tell you because they don't want you to be afraid of ordering from their website. I'm at least being honest and it doesn't matter who you order from, Ebay, Amazon, Home Depot, or Walmart, that is the honest truth for any company on how returns get back to a warehouse. Some of our warehouses we use actually ship for Amazon Orders, SO PLEASE PUT THE RMA NUMBER ON THE BOX!
#3 Item Damaged In Shipping - If the item is damaged in shipping, take pictures of the product, and the package it came in and send us the pictures to support@poolnspastore.com with your name, order number, and what you see with the package. What generally happens in this situation is the warehouse that the product was shipped from will get in contact with the shipping company, UPS, Fed Ex, USPS and file a claim. In this case the warehouse will work with you directly to get you a return label and RMA number to return the item back to the warehouse. You will want to work with them directly because most warehouses will immediately reship your order once they notice that your package is actually in transit. Your undamaged item and your damaged item will most likely cross paths somewhere in the country.
#4 I accidentally ordered the wrong product - In cases like this you should email us at support@poolnspastore.com or call +1 (510) 945-1197, then we will give you an RMA number to put on the box. We will refund your money on that order as soon as we get confirmation that the package has been returned to the warehouse that shipped the item. Only the amount of the item returned will be refunded, original shipping cost is not included. We will then close out that order number, but if you notice that you ordered the wrong part and need the another one asap, place a separate order on our website and we will ship that item out as soon as possible. But in cases like this we treat them as 2 different orders and you will be refunded on your first order.
You should expect to receive your refund within four weeks of giving your package to the return shipper, however, in many cases you will receive a refund more quickly. This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days).
If you need to return an item, simply login to your account, view the order using the "Complete Orders" link under the My Account menu and click the Return Item(s) button. We'll notify you via e-mail of your refund once we've received and processed the returned item.
