Read this before you order from them
On March 14 2018 I ordered and paid for a swimming pool kit to be delivered to me. They made sure to take full payment from my bank account promptly. The pool kit was shipped to me a couple of days later. Since I am physically unable to do the assembly myself, I hired a local licensed contractor to assemble the pool and build a wooden deck. When the pool kit arrived, we discovered that the floor padding was not on the pallet. Since the padding goes down before the pool can be assembled and filled, this stopped the construction while I contacted the vendor to get the padding shipped to me. That took a week. Now that the pool is assembled and all boxes have been emptied, we noticed that the Automatic Floor cleaner has not been shipped. I contacted the vendor again and was told that I needed to fill out a form (which was not sent to me either at the time of purchase or since) and return the original to them (no faxes allowed). Two weeks later and I still have not received the form. I contacted them again about the missing item and was told they would be shipping it to me the next day. At that time I asked if I could upgrade to a better cleaning system and pay the difference. I was told that could not be done. It is now 2 weeks after THAT attempt at resolution and the missing piece still has not arrived. I received a call from Andrea at familypoolfun.com. I told her that in a previous conversation with Ann I I tried to upgrade the pool sweeper since it had not been shipped and was told by Ann that I could not get an upgrade. Andrea said I could, but she preconditioned shipping ANYTHING to me on my removing my complaints as posted on Ripoffreports.com and with the Minnesota Better Business Bureau. I stated that my complaints were about non-shipment of merchandise previously paid for and I will not remove or modify any complaints until I actually receive the product. Ann refused to accept that, even going so far as to tell me that the Better Business Bureau requires removal of the complaint as a precondition of your company being allowed to ship product that had already been paid for. I spoke with Margot Moore at the Minnesota Better Business Bureau and she informed me that Ann's statement about their policy is patently false. I also own a business and my business is an Accredited Business with the BBB of Southern Arizona and I also knew when she told me about the supposed BBB policy that what Ann told me was patently false. If they are to lie to me about these things, why should I believe a promise to ship product I have already paid for that should have been shipped two months ago will be carried out? I am continuing to leave reviews of my experience with Familypoolfun.com with any and every consumer comment board I can find.
