Broken Pieces
Ordered my sauna in May. Waited 9 weeks for it to arrive but that was known at purchase and I was very excited regardless. Some of the pieces for the roof were miss-cut and unusable. Contacted customer service, which I was met with argumentative questions even after providing photos of the pieces in question. After finally getting customer service to agree on the parts needed, waited 3 weeks to receive the pieces. Only two of the 4 pieces needed were sent and they arrived cracked. After being asked to use the cracked pieces I was finally able to convince the representative that it was unacceptable to ask a customer to accept broken pieces for a brand new build on such an expensive product. After waiting another 3 weeks, one of the 4 pieces was replaced and it arrived cracked and broken even worse than the first two. I sent pictures that were taken immediately after opening the box and I was accused of breaking the piece trying to install it. I wouldn’t have been able to install it even if I wanted to because I’m still missing 3 more pieces needed to finish the build. These pieces are for the roof install, and if it wasn’t for the sauna being 90% built I would have returned it for a full refund already. Still at such a loss going on 6 months now since purchasing the sauna and still am not able to use it. I was sent $400 back and it cost me nearly $10,000. Total joke. UPDATE after Redwoods response: Your customer resolutions manager WAS the one suggesting I use the broken pieces instead of receiving replacement parts AND accused me of breaking the replacement piece myself. Your company is not backing the stance you are taking in this reply. Unbelievable at this point.

Jake, we’re sorry that repeated issues with your roof pieces and replacement shipments have left you unable to enjoy your sauna. You should not have been asked to accept broken pieces, and receiving damaged replacements after additional weeks of waiting is understandably frustrating. Since your case was escalated, our Resolutions Manager has remained personally involved, staying in contact several times a week, including while replacement parts were in transit. We recognize that consistent communication needs to be followed by a successful resolution. We understand that you want to see your sauna completed, and we remain committed to working with you through the remaining issues so you can feel confident in and enjoy your investment.
