Delivery Day Coming, what should I expect?

[2busymom]

My spa is scheduled for delivery this weekend?  What should I expect?  

• For example, how long might it take, does having the electrician return cause big delays in having your first soak?

 

• Will they install the lift during the delivery?

• Should I clean the spa out before I fill it?

• Will it be dirty?

• I will have it recessed in an oversized opening, should I have the general place within the opening designated?

• Do I need to treat the cover lifter with anything before I leave it out in the elements?

• Will it be all that I hoped for...

I have a million questions!  ;D

Hi In Canada..eh!,

Thanks.  What's the old saying...a watched pot never boils!    It will get here and happen, when it happens and how it happens.  Probably will be too hot the first few days to enjoy it anyway.  But I would love trying!

2busymom, did you get a D1 Amore Bay?  If you did, do you mind posting the purchase price?  I'm considering getting that exact model and would like to compare the quoted price that I got.  Thanks!

Hi Crisms98,

No I didn't get that one, it was way too large for my tiny yard, and too expensive.  The price they quoted was around $12,000.  I did wet test the D1 Diplomat, I really liked the way the jets felt, but it seemed a bit expensive at $8400 without the lifter, lcd, etc.  It also had a pretty big foot print.  

I bought a smaller more reasonably priced Marquis U630 it was around $7800.

Thanks. I was quoted around 14K out the door with the sound system included in the package.  The price you mentioned was quoted for a lotus bay out the door.

Among the three spas that I wet tested (grandee, nautilus and amore bay); amore bay is the winner.  Now if I could just get the dealer to lower his price

Hi Crisms98,

You could be right, I initially thought it was around $13,000 (but I thought, nah, couldn't be that much), but it's possible.  The dealer I went to, said that they do not play with the price (unless it's about 3% as a cash discount, the cost of using a charge card), but might discount for cash.  

Nice tubs, but seems a bit more than the others.  The price I was quoted (that I can't quite remember for that model ) did not include a stereo.  Good luck!
