Short answer: Standard delivery for a full-size Sun Home sauna is scheduled curbside freight with liftgate service. The carrier lowers the packaged shipment at the curb; moving it to its final location, uncrating, assembly, foundation preparation, and electrical work are not included. Room of Choice delivery may be available for an additional charge and can move components to an accessible room or covered outdoor location, but it does not include assembly. Because that service generally removes the outer crate — and current return rules require original, unopened packaging — confirm the return implications on the cancellation and return policy before selecting it. In-stock products are scheduled to ship within seven business days under the current shipping policy. Before delivery, verify the exact model's dedicated circuit, foundation, access path, helper or installer needs, inspection deadline, and current cancellation and return terms.

Before you order: site, access, and power
Full-size sauna shipments arrive as heavy, palletized freight — several hundred pounds and up depending on the model — so plan the receiving end before you buy. Confirm with support the packaged freight weight, the number of crates, and the heaviest individual component for your exact model, then walk the path from curb to final location: driveway grade, gate and door widths, stairs, turns, and ceiling height. Outdoor models need a level, load-bearing pad or deck; indoor models need clearances and ventilation per the manual. Line up the helpers or movers your model's weight requires, and identify the electrical work early, because every Sun Home sauna requires a dedicated circuit (details below).
Cancellation terms
Under the current cancellation and return policy, a 3% cancellation fee applies to all canceled orders, including cancellations made within 24 hours of purchase. After 24 hours — or after the communicated shipping date — an additional 25% restocking fee can apply, and round-trip shipping charges can also apply in relevant circumstances. Because these are exact financial terms that can change, read the policy page itself before ordering or canceling rather than relying on any summary, including this one.
What standard curbside delivery includes
Standard delivery is scheduled curbside freight with liftgate service: the carrier contacts you for a delivery window, lowers the palletized shipment from the truck, and leaves it at the curb or the end of your driveway. It does not include moving the shipment to its final location, carrying components indoors or into a backyard, uncrating, packaging removal, assembly, or any site or electrical work. Treat curbside as the baseline and plan the rest of the journey — curb to pad, uncrating, assembly, power — as your own project or as separately arranged services.
Room of Choice: what it adds, and the return trade-off
Where available, Room of Choice delivery can be added for a charge. Per the help center, the crew moves components to an accessible room, garage, patio, or similar location and removes the packaging; it does not include assembly. The critical trade-off: Room of Choice generally involves removing the outer crate, and the current return rules require original, unopened packaging — so an order uncrated through Room of Choice is not eligible for the ordinary return path. If there is any chance you will return the sauna, resolve that question before booking the service, and confirm the current terms on the cancellation and return policy.
Inspecting your delivery
Inspect the shipment for visible damage before signing, and note any dents, punctures, tears, or crushed corners directly on the delivery receipt — a clean signature makes later freight claims much harder. Photograph the pallet and packaging as received. Then open and inspect every component as soon as possible, preferably within three days, and no later than the deadline in the current shipping policy, reporting any concealed damage to support with photos and your order number. Do not discard packaging until inspection is complete.
Moving and assembling the sauna
Sun Home cabins ship panelized, and assembly is the owner's project unless you separately arrange help — local movers for the carry, and a handyman service or installer for the build if you prefer not to do it yourself. Use the helper count and any equipment the manual specifies for your model's panel weights, protect floors along the path, and stage components near the final location before starting. Schedule any paid assembly help, and any electrician visit, only after delivery is confirmed on the ground — freight timing can move, and the article's own rule applies: never book trades against an estimated delivery date.
Electrical preparation, by model
Every Sun Home sauna requires a dedicated circuit — a circuit is not merely recommended — and "standard household outlet" is not an accurate description for any model, because even 120V models need their own dedicated 20A circuit with the correct receptacle. The current requirements for identified examples from our line:
| Model | Circuit requirement | Configuration |
|---|---|---|
| Solstice 1, 2, and 3 | Dedicated 120V / 20A | NEMA 5-20 receptacle |
| Solstice 4 | Dedicated 240V / 20A | NEMA 6-20 receptacle |
| Equinox (indoor full-spectrum) | Dedicated 120V / 20A | 20A receptacle on its own circuit; confirm the configuration in the manual |
| Luminar 2 (outdoor) | Dedicated 240V / 20A | NEMA L6-20P |
| Luminar 5 (outdoor) | Dedicated 240V / 30A | Confirm connection type in the manual |
Circuit work should be installed or confirmed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and local code. Verify your exact model and size on its product page and manual — requirements differ even within a series — and see our electrical requirements guide for how to check voltage, amperage, receptacles, and panel capacity.
Warranty service: what the terms provide
Warranty coverage is model-specific and defined by the warranty information page, which controls over any summary. The terms provide repair or replacement rights that vary by model and component, give Sun Home discretion over the remedy, and note that specially sourced parts can take 60–90 days; at least one product category is covered on a parts-only basis, excluding labor and technician costs. Sun Home may arrange an in-home technician where available and appropriate, subject to the model's warranty and the assessment of the claim — but read that as a service practice, not a universal contractual entitlement in every state for every model. To file a claim, contact support with your order number, a description of the issue, and photos or video; then confirm your model's exact coverage for parts, labor, and freight before scheduling anything at your own cost.
Returns
Returns are governed by the current cancellation and return policy: original, unopened packaging is required, condition and timing rules apply, and the fee and freight-responsibility terms on that page control. Two practical consequences follow. First, keep the packaging intact until you are certain you are keeping the sauna. Second, because Room of Choice delivery generally removes the outer crate, accepting that service can make the order ineligible for the ordinary return path — decide on returns before you decide on uncrating.
Support: hours and response times
Reach support through the contact page, which publishes the current business hours, including reduced Friday hours, and the current response expectation — at this writing, that Sun Home usually responds within one hour during business hours, with emails and voicemails answered within one business day. Check the contact page for the applicable hours and time zone rather than relying on this summary, and include your order number in every message to speed up delivery, damage, and warranty requests.
Frequently asked questions
Does Sun Home delivery include assembly?
No. Standard delivery is curbside freight with liftgate service, and Room of Choice — where available, for a charge — moves components to an accessible location and removes packaging but does not include assembly. Note that uncrating through Room of Choice can end the ordinary return path, since returns require original, unopened packaging.
Can I cancel my Sun Home order?
Yes, subject to the current fees: a 3% cancellation fee applies to all canceled orders, including within 24 hours, and after 24 hours — or after the communicated shipping date — an additional 25% restocking fee and round-trip shipping charges can apply. Confirm the current terms on the cancellation and return policy before ordering.
Does the Solstice plug into a standard household outlet?
For our current Solstice 1–4 models, a standard household outlet is not suitable. Our current Solstice 1, 2, and 3 models require a dedicated 120V / 20A circuit with a NEMA 5-20R receptacle; our current Solstice 4 requires a dedicated 240V / 20A circuit with a NEMA 6-20R receptacle. For an older edition, check its exact-model manual and nameplate. For every Solstice model, have a qualified electrician confirm the correct circuit and receptacle, and install them if needed, before use.
How long until my sauna ships and arrives?
In-stock products are scheduled to ship within seven business days under the current shipping policy, and some models may be backordered. Freight-transit and appointment timing vary by destination, carrier, service tier, weather, and access conditions, so confirm the current estimate for your exact model before scheduling installers or electricians.
What is Sun Home's BBB rating and complaint record?
Our BBB profile currently lists us as accredited with an A+ business rating. See BBB's complaint record and customer reviews for current figures. BBB's complaint categories should not be read as independent validation of every party's account.
