were the high density closed cell foam is sprayed on the shell and the plumbing is left uncovered and unsupported. It is a cheap starter tub for someone who is looking to go cheap but have a big tub.

This might help lure some buyers - Standard amenities like a 19" Westinghouse HDTV and a JVC DVD/AM/FM/CD player with complete sound system including a 10" subwoofer,

Post by: Chris_H on January 15, 2007, 05:27:27 pm: Bump - Just wanted to know if anyone could confirm this was manufactured by Cal?

Post by: Zep on January 15, 2007, 06:20:01 pm: I read this on another web-site:

"Costco's return policy has no time limit".

Coscto cuts "special deals" with all their vendors and
the Costco vendors give Costco a full credit on all returns,
no matter when or for what reason. If they won't do this
Costco just cuts them off and moves on to someone else.

I guess Costco sells so much product they can do the above.

What a great store for consumers.

GOOOOOO COSTCO!!

Post by: Vanguard on January 15, 2007, 06:48:44 pm: I am curious, will the Cal Spa dealer get paid like Hot Spring dealers are? Or is Cal Spa cutting them out of the deal? I remember when Hot Spring put a spa in Costco, lots was said about how bad this was. Since Hot Spring dealers were given a piece of the action, they were fully participating and it wasn't bad for them.

Post by: hotubinn on January 15, 2007, 08:30:13 pm: Yes it is indeed manufactured by Cal. Supposedly was only for the NW area, but Costco made a mistake and printed it up in all booklets! ;) I know some dealers that are NOT very happy. No mention of them delivering the spas, but a I'm sure they will want them to service them.
