Spa Dealers and 2021 Product
BullFrogSpasMN:
frustrating year all around, anyone in the business knows all of the problems we are having at this point lol. We have 'slots' reserved and/or tubs on order that will land throughout all of 2021 from Bullfrog, Nordic, Wellis, Aspen, and some Swim Spas and Spas from Dynasty, if demand is similar to this year I still don't think we have enough on order or the flexibility to change/modify/expedite certain product(s) which is what it is, nothing can be done about it of course so it will be a little frustrating for sure but what can ya do besides lay out a ton of cash and hope for the best :-)
Red MC:
I am a happy customer. My wife and I wasted the month of July going back and forth over whether to attempt to repair the rotted frame on our old tub or buy a new one. Uncertainty about whether we could get a new hot tub here before winter definitely made it a hard decision. I wasn't looking forward to taking delivery with a couple feet of snow on the ground and persistent sub-freezing temps.
We put in a new order at the end of July for the exact model we wanted, with an estimated build date in late Nov. It was built during the week of Thanksgiving and was on my patio a week later. I am so glad we didn't wait any longer than we did, because friends who went shopping at the end of summer had to a accept a model that wasn't quite what they wanted but was already in the production queue, with delivery in Feb. They would have had to wait until late 2021 to get the one they wanted.

I hear this. I did the same (different brands except Nordic). Laying out tons of cash to make it happen. Hope the payoff is there at end of year. Very nerve wracking and not knowing if I will have enough tubs to meet supply or will it be too much supply and not enough buyers. I went heavy on orders and judging by what is already sold I don’t think I will have enough tubs for the year either.

Agreed (customer here) - ordered in July and enjoyed it in December! I contemplated a cabinet color change after the first couple of weeks, but didn't want to "risk" what that might have done to my place in line!

Yeah I'd be afraid the response to such a question would be "no soup for you, Next!".
