Title: Delivery Day Coming, what should I expect?
Post by: 2busymom on July 09, 2007, 05:51:37 pm

My spa is scheduled for delivery this weekend? What should I expect?

For example, how long might it take, does having the electrician return cause big delays in having your first soak?

Will they install the lift during the delivery?

Should I clean the spa out before I fill it?

Will it be dirty?

I will have it recessed in an oversized opening, should I have the general place within the opening designated?

Do I need to treat the cover lifter with anything before I leave it out in the elements?

Will it be all that I hoped for... ::)

I have a million questions! ;D

Hi In Canada..eh!,

Thanks. What's the old saying...a watched pot never boils! :) It will get here and happen, when it happens and how it happens. Probably will be too hot the first few days to enjoy it anyway. But I would love trying!

2busymom, did you get a D1 Amore Bay? If you did, do you mind posting the purchase price? I'm considering getting that exact model and would like to compare the quoted price that I got. Thanks!

Hi Crisms98,

No I didn't get that one, it was way too large for my tiny yard, and too expensive. The price they quoted was around $12,000. I did wet test the D1 Diplomat, I really liked the way the jets felt, but it seemed a bit expensive at $8400 without the lifter, lcd, etc. It also had a pretty big foot print.

I bought a smaller more reasonably priced Marquis U630 it was around $7800.

Thanks. I was quoted around 14K out the door with the sound system included in the package. The price you mentioned was quoted for a lotus bay out the door.

Among the three spas that I wet tested (grandee, nautilus and amore bay); amore bay is the winner. Now if I could just get the dealer to lower his price :)

Hi Crisms98,

You could be right, I initially thought it was around $13,000 (but I thought, nah, couldn't be that much), but it's possible. The dealer I went to, said that they do not play with the price (unless it's about 3% as a cash discount, the cost of using a charge card), but might discount for cash.

Nice tubs, but seems a bit more than the others. The price I was quoted (that I can't quite remember for that model ::)) did not include a stereo. Good luck!
