Shipping & Installation Policy - Lux Tubs Co.
At Lux Tubs Co., we understand that purchasing a Hot Tub, Ice Bath, or Swim Spa is an exciting investment, and we are committed to ensuring a seamless delivery and installation experience.
Given the size and complexity of our products, each order is carefully handled through a personalised shipping and installation process, which includes a site survey to ensure we choose the best shipping and installation strategy for your specific needs.
Please take a moment to review our comprehensive Shipping & Installation Policy below.
1. Site Survey Requirement
Due to the large size and specialised installation requirements of our products (Hot Tubs, Ice Baths, and Swim Spas), a site survey is required for every order. This ensures we can determine the best delivery route, access points, and installation strategy for your specific location.
-
Survey Options: We offer two types of site surveys:
-
In-Person Site Survey:
Our team will visit your location to assess the space and provide recommendations on the best shipping and installation plan.
-
Virtual Site Survey:
If you are unable to accommodate an in-person visit, we can conduct a video call where you’ll walk us through the intended installation area so we can evaluate access points, obstacles, and space considerations.
-
-
Schedule Your Survey:
Once your order is placed, a member of our team will contact you to schedule a site survey at your convenience. The survey must be completed before we proceed with shipping or installation.
2. Shipping & Delivery
After the site survey is completed, we will confirm the most suitable shipping method for your product + Costs involved. Our goal is to deliver your Hot Tub, Ice Bath, or Swim Spa safely and efficiently to the designated location.
-
Delivery Methods: Depending on your location and the survey results, we may use the following methods:
-
Standard Delivery: We offer White Glove Delivery, where our team will deliver the product directly to your chosen location and unpack it with care. This service includes setting the item in place (within the designated installation area) and removing all packaging and debris.
-
Crane Delivery:
If your property has limited access, such as narrow driveways, steep hills, or obstructions that prevent conventional delivery methods, crane delivery may be necessary.
-
How It Works:
Our team will arrange for a crane to lift your Hot Tub, Ice Bath, or Swim Spa over obstacles such as fences, trees, or buildings, placing it directly in your yard or designated installation area.
-
Cost of Crane Delivery:
Crane delivery is an additional service, and the cost will depend on the complexity of the lift, the crane's size, and your location. During the site survey, we will provide an estimate for this service if it's required.
-
-
Delivery Timeframe:
After completing the site survey and finalising shipping arrangements, we will provide you with an estimated delivery window. Typically, deliveries are scheduled within 7-14 business days depending on product availability and your location.
3. Installation Process
Proper installation is crucial to ensuring your Hot Tub, Ice Bath, or Swim Spa functions as intended. After delivery, our professional installation team will complete the setup, including all necessary connections (water, electricity, plumbing, etc.).
-
Installation Included:
All of our products include installation as part of the delivery service, which is coordinated based on the site survey. Our team will handle everything from unboxing and positioning to setup and testing.
-
Installation Timeline:
Most installations are completed within 4-6 hours depending on the complexity of the product and your site conditions. Our team will confirm the expected duration with you after the survey.
-
Specialised Team:
Our team of professionals has experience with large spa, tub, and swim spa installations, ensuring that your product is set up safely and efficiently.
4. Access & Site Preparation
To ensure a smooth delivery and installation, it is important that the area is prepared and accessible. Based on the site survey, we may provide you with specific instructions to clear the space.
-
Clear Pathway:
The delivery and installation team will need a clear, unobstructed path to access the delivery point and installation area. This includes removing any debris, furniture, or obstacles.
-
Access Points:
Our team will confirm the most efficient route for delivering and installing your product. If there are any access challenges, such as narrow gates, stairs, or challenging terrain, we will work with you to devise a solution. Additional charges may apply for extra efforts such as crane delivery or utilizing specialized equipment.
5. Shipping & Installation Fees
-
Shipping Costs:
Standard shipping fees are calculated based on your location, the size of the product, and the delivery method chosen during checkout. For deliveries outside of our local area, fees will be provided during the site survey process.
-
Installation Fees:
Installation is included in the price of your product for most locations. However, certain locations or more complex installations may incur additional charges. These will be discussed with you after the site survey.
-
Additional Fees:
If the site survey reveals complications that require additional equipment (e.g., crane services, large equipment for tricky access points), we will inform you of any extra charges before finalizing your order.
6. Order Modifications & Cancellations
-
Order Modifications:
If you need to modify your order or installation after the site survey, please notify us at least 5 business days before your scheduled delivery. This allows us to adjust the delivery and installation plan as needed.
-
Cancellations:
If you decide to cancel your order before delivery, please notify us as soon as possible. Cancellations are accepted up to 48 hours before your scheduled delivery. After this period, a cancellation fee may apply, depending on the progress of your order.
7. Damaged or Missing Items

2. Return Conditions
Because our products are large, complex, and require specialised delivery and installation services, all returns are subject to a potential collection fee. This fee is necessary to cover the costs of returning your Hot Tub, Ice Bath, or Swim Spa back to our warehouse, including labor, transportation, and equipment for handling oversized items.
Collection Fee Details:
-
The collection fee will vary based on your location and the complexity of the return.

The collection fee is deducted from the refund amount, and it typically ranges from £100 to £2,750, depending on the distance, access requirements, nature of return/ exchange and the method of collection (standard or crane delivery).
3. Conditions for Exchange
We understand that sometimes a product may not be a perfect fit, and we'd be happy to offer an exchange for a different model or product (e.g., a different size or style of Hot Tub, Ice Bath, or Swim Spa) within 14 days from the original delivery date.
Exchange Conditions:
-
You can only exchange the item for a different model of equal or greater value.
-
If the new product selected is of greater value than the original, you will be required to pay the difference.
-
Exchange requests are subject to availability and may require a new site survey if the installation conditions differ significantly.
-
The collection fee will apply in cases of exchange, as the product needs to be returned to us before the new product can be delivered and installed. A new delivery fee will also be charged.
