Shipping Policy

All in-stock items will ship out within 7 business days. You will receive tracking information upon shipment. 

Due to unprecedented high demand, many of our sauna models are on backorder - please email us at info@sunhomesaunas.com or call 844-728-6200 before purchasing so we can provide accurate lead times.

Outdoor Saunas: 

The Sun Home Luminar sauna and the Sun Home traditional outdoor saunas are more of a comprehensive installation than our indoor saunas and requires at least 2 people to assist with receiving the shipment.

It is also very important to note that the delivery arrives on a large pallet curbside, so please ensure you have multiple people present at time of delivery to accept the package. The freight company will de-load the pallet from the truck and place curbside for you but will not bring the pallet into your driveway or home so we recommend having multiple people available to transport the pieces into your desired location. 

Once the sauna is on the ground, you'll be responsible for moving the sauna pieces to where you want to install it. Luckily, most sauna pieces are light enough for 1-2 people to carry. To make things easier, we recommend having at least 2-4 helpers and a dolly or cart to move the heavier pieces.

Below are the dimensions of the Luminar 5 and Luminar 2 pallets: 

 

Infrared & Traditional Saunas

Our goal is to make your sauna buying experience simple, efficient and easy and our promise is to ensure your total satisfaction. Shipping damage claims are rare, but they do happen. In the event of shipping damage, we will conduct an investigation and ensure your case is treated with priority. Should you need to return an item to us, please note our policy below:

Visible Loss or Damage:

Any external evidence of loss or damage that occurred during transit is considered visible loss or damage and should be noted on the delivery receipt and signed by the carrier’s agent (driver).

Concealed Loss or Damage:

Any damage that occurred during transit that was not visible at the time of delivery is considered concealed loss or damage. Due to rough handling in transit, it is possible to damage the contents of the boxes without damaging the boxes. If such a situation occurs it is important to contact us immediately for instructions on how to handle the claim. If a claim is to be filed it is important to save the packaging that the damaged merchandise arrived in. You must open all received boxes and inspect products for concealed damage within 5 business days of delivery.

Most likely the driver will not be able to wait while you open the boxes. If that is the case, please note, “Possible Concealed Damage” on the delivery receipt.

Receiving Your Shipment:

When receiving your shipment it is important to do the following:

1. Your shipment may consist of a number of individual boxes placed on a single pallet. The pallet will need to be separated to be unloaded. Your sauna will be shipped with lift gate service with a scheduled appointment for delivery. The driver will move your sauna off of the truck. Delivery is curbside only. 

2. Check the shipment for any visible damage to containers. If the boxes are dented, crushed, scratched, punctured, or cut it is very important to mark this on the bill of lading. If there is a possibility of damage it may be necessary to open the box and mark the actual damage on the bill of lading. It is important to be specific.

3. Boxes that have been dropped may not show obvious signs of external damage. You may want to open these specific boxes before the driver leaves to ensure that the contents do not have concealed damage. The driver may refuse to allow you the time to open specific boxes. If this is the case, please note, “Possible Concealed Damage” on the delivery receipt. Open the boxes as soon as possible, but not later than 5 days after the delivery, to inspect for damage.

Refusing a Freight Shipment & Freight Carrier Fees for Sun Home Saunas:

If your infrared sauna shipment is damaged and unusable, it may be necessary to refuse part or all of the order. Email info@sunhomesaunas.com before refusing any shipment.

Please note that any additional freight carrier fees such as re-delivery are the responsibility of the customer unless otherwise noted on your order. Liftgate service and delivery notification are standard with all orders. If additional services are requested by you and billed to us, all such fees shall then be re-billed to your credit card. If the freight carrier is unable to deliver the freight due to problems with contacting you or setting up delivery appointments, storage fees may be assessed by the carrier. In such cases, all storage fees are the responsibility of the customer and shall be billed to your credit card. Please note again, delivery is curbside only.
