Delivery Times
Most of our spas our custom made. They are not some spa sitting in a dusty warehouse for months. You get them freshly made exactly the way you want. You also don’ t pay for extra features that might exist in a spa that is sitting in inventory. We recommend you wait for your custom made spa, and this is normal for the hot tub industry.
But if you want something right way, we do spas in inventory. We usually carry our hottest sellers. Also, if we don’ t have it in inventory, we can check the manufacturer’s warehouse as well. Usually we can find the exact spa you want or something similar. Call us now to verify what we have in inventory and we will give you quick shipping for this. Our number is 1-888-611-TUBS.

There are two types of deliveries:
Curbside Delivery: (Free with on all Purchases within the continental US) Hottubs are to be unloaded and delivered to customers curbside location or garage if accessible by the freight truck. If the curbside in front of the house is not accessible by a large freight truck, the trucking company will bring the hot tub as close as possible to the home, and leave it at the closest possible location, at that point the customer will be responsible for moving it from there.
Allied Van will bring two men and equipment such as dollies, pallet jacks, and lift gates to get your home spa safely to your curbside
Backyard Delivery: For backyard hot tub delivery, we will refer you to a hot tub spa moving service who has all of the right tools for moving hot tubs and swim spas to the backyard location of your choice.
Difficult Places to Place the Home Hot Tub
If you have to go up stairs, or up in any vertical direction that is difficult to get to, you have to hire a crane. Have Allied just drop the hot tub off near your house, and rent a crane operator crew to help you with the last part. Cranes are good for getting the hot tubs in hard to handle places.
