Return Policy

  • ORDER CONFIRMATION

    As soon as you place your order, you will receive an order confirmation e-mail. This means that we have received your order in our system and authorized your credit card for the purchase.  As soon as we receive your order, we begin processing to confirm that it is in stock and available for immediate shipment.  If your item is on backorder or unavailable, we will void the pre-authorization and reach out to you via e-mail.  If your item(s) are available for immediate shipment (within 3 business days), we will process the charges and submit the order for shipment.

    ORDER SHIPMENT

    In stock orders ship within 1-3 business days from the date of your order and will be delivered in 1-6 business days after shipment. Please note these shipping timeframes may be extended during holiday seasons or due to issues surrounding the COVID-virus. Timeframes are estimates only starting the date of pickup and can change depending on environmental conditions, transit issues, and carrier’s availability, and item warehouse location.

    We will send you tracking information within 24 hours of your order leaving the warehouse to the e-mail address you provided when checking out. If you do not receive tracking information from us within four business days of your order, feel free to follow up with us at sales@GoldenDesignSaunas.com

    Saunas are fulfilled via freight shipping and require a signature upon delivery. You will receive a call from the shipping company to arrange a time and day for delivery that works for you. Industry standards for freight shipping includes curbside delivery with a lift-gate (truck has built-in liftgate to lower the sauna). 

    The shipping company will attempt delivery 2 to 3 times. In cases where shipping companies have applied fees for missed delivery or if after the maximum attempted deliveries, the shipping company still is unable to communicate with you to deliver the shipment, the item will be shipped back to its original location and you will be subject to cover the cost associated to the shipping, missed delivery, and transactions fees at 3%. Please note shipping is provided via a third-party logistic company and your delivery may be subject to their delivery terms and/or terms of service; this includes but not limited to things such as delivery timeframes, delivery availability, delivery ability, missed delivery fees, storage fees associated to missed delivery, or unwillingness to be present for delivery.

To be eligible for a full refund, the cancelation request must be requested prior to the business day the item was shipped.
