Excellent communication and dispatch…

Excellent communication and dispatch was very quick. Product as described. Issue with delivery company "losing" the 41kg package. They were poor so emailed sunshine pools, they chased the company and dispatched a relacement as soon as they found out it had been "lost". My adviced, change the delivery company you use before they ruin your reputation.

Thank you for your review. We really appreciate it.

We are sorry the original consignment was lost by the courier but are pleased we could get a second despatched to fulfil your order.

We only have a small number of couriers to choose from, as the packages are so heavy, they cannot travel through a lot of networks.

The couriers used are reviewed regularly. We will pass your comments and feedback through to the management for consideration. Thank you.

We hope your family enjoys your new purchase.

Quick and easy service and delivery but the tube that came with the splash tower had all the connections put on the wrong way round and it has been glued so we can't move it.

Brilliant pool

Brilliant pool. Quick, efficient delivery.
So good to have a pool we can all fit in and actually swim. Vey good pump, everything seems very well made and easy to set up. The only thing is, the cover doesn't stay on. It's a pity they don't include some clips.

We bought the Intex 16' 6" x 9' x 48"…

We bought the Intex 16' 6" x 9' x 48" Prism Frame™ Oval Above Ground Swimming Pool with Filter Pump and Accessories and it is amazing. Easy to out together, although the ladder was a little confusing. The quality of the pool and the accessories is very good.

The service from sunshine pools was fantastic too. I would highly recommend.

Absolutely first class

Must be on level ground otherwise posts sink into the ground and you risk breaking the main ring. Down side is it took 30 hrs to fill it, but the children absolutely love it.

Got a Best ways pool

Got a Best ways pool. From them. Good product and very good customer service. I would certainly use
them again. The only thing I would say is they should use better couriers. The current ones are very poor and letting a good company down.

Bad communication, don't bother

Ordered a mount splashmore water slide as it was on offer and delivery time was 2 working days. This was the 15th July. By the 21st July I still hadn't received the item despite having a tracking number and confirmation of dispatch. I contacted Sunshine Pools on the 20th and they said there had been a hold up and it would definitely be with me by the 22nd at the latest. I still hadn't received the item or any communication / apology by the 25th, so I cancelled my order and requested a refund. I don't even think the item was in stock or perhaps they no longer wanted to sell it at that price. I ordered from the company due to its excellent reviews. I don't think it lives it to it's reputation at all.

Thank you for your review.

I am sorry that your order was delayed in reaching you, it was despatched on time on 18th July on a 2 working day delivery service. I can see that you contacted us via our web chat on 21st July for an update at which point we investigated the delay with the courier. They informed us that there had been an issue within the network which meant your order was delayed in reaching your delivery depot. We were informed that the order should be out for delivery by 22nd July. However, as we use a 3rd party courier company, we have no control over when deliveries are made and regrettably your order was not put out for delivery when we were informed it would be.

Once we saw that the delivery hadn't been made on the Friday, we communicated with you on Monday 25th July to rectify the issue and I can see that as the courier was unable to deliver the item to you a full refund was processed.

We are very sorry that you did not have a positive experience with us, we pride ourselves on our customer service and I apologise that your experience with the courier fell below par this time.

Kind regards
