It's Costco!!...they take it back if your not satisfied ..period!I understand that they take it back for no fee but are you saying that they will send a truck out to your house to pick up your tub free of charge? That I find almost unbelievable. My biggest problem with purchasing at Costco opposed to a dealer is you really have no idea what you are getting. You aren't able to sit in it, try it out and make sure that is actually the tub you want. Even if you are able to return it you are still on the hook fr the wiring, cement slab and putting it in place. When I'm spending that much money n anything I want to now exactly what I'm getting. You wouldn't buy a car without test driving it would you? Something might look great n paper but its not really what it is. Then there is the atter of who actually does the warranty work? If I was to buy a tb from Costco I would stick to a basic one like the rot molded Watkins. Costco doesn't exactly have a great record with there hot tub suppliers [hydro spa, tatum Beth outf business]. Obviously it's your money ad you can spend it where you want just be carefull

It's not so much the big items that would worry me, such as a major leak or a pump that doesn't work or failed control board. It's the middle sized issues. I had a check valve fail and it was leaking a little, maybe a 1/8 gallon a day. It was barely detectable, I thought it was just runoff from getting in and out and evaporation, but there was actually a leak. Repairing the problem took the technician less than an hour and they covered it under warranty. Now with that Costco tub, if you find a small leak in a component say a similar case to mine and a check valve is leaking, It is an hour's work tops for an AUTHORIZED technician, but can you fix it yourself, or hire an outside technician to fix it without voiding a return warranty or do you drain your water and haul it back to Costco because they will take it back? Hour's of work and aggravation for an hour long repair. And then do you get a new one, or do you get a refurbished replacement, someone else's hot tub with a leaky check valve that was returned and repaired?I have no doubt they will take it back, they are pretty good about that, but under what level of dissatisfaction do you pull that trigger?
