Amazing customer service

Ahmed was really helpful and knowledgeable about all aspects of the product. He didn't push the most expensive heater but rather the heater that was right for me. And he made sure I got the best deal at all times. I'm really looking forward to my sauna arriving.

Good and value for the money

The sauna set got delivered in time and the instructions were (mostly) clear. It was not clear how and where the light and the wooden light cover should sit and now screws or bolts were there to mount it. We figured that out ourselves and got a little bit money back as compensation. All in all a good experience and meanwhile my sister also got a sauna installed…

Missing confirmation email/delivery date

Didnt get a confirmation email after I had paid for the order. Support was friendly when i called them. Still dont have a delivery date even though i requested this to be shipped asap as this is an oder with missing parts that we need to finish setting up the gardenhouses.

Hi Constantin,
I’m sorry that the confirmation email didn’t reach you right after your order. It’s sent automatically, but sometimes ends up in the spam folder.

We confirmed your payment by email on August 22 and have since sent you two updates about the delivery. Your order is now scheduled to leave our warehouse in Estonia in week 36. You’ll get an email once it has been shipped and after that the local transport company will contact you to plan the final delivery.

I completely understand how important these parts are for finishing your garden houses and I hope this update gives you some peace of mind. If you have any other questions, just reach out to us.

Kind regards,
Lina, Polhus

Great service and advice

Great service - researched and then clicked to get a quote from their website which started an email thread with one of their team who had extremely helpful advice based on my specific needs and constraints. Made this process extremely easy, thank you Ahmed!

Great company

Purchased a Loke sauna last year and was supported at all stages by the excellent after sales service. The kit arrived well packed and with no issues. Wood quality was exceptional with precision cut pieces that fitted together well ( just like I used to build model planes and boats but on a larger scale ). We have been using the sauna for nearly a year now and are really pleased with it. Highly recommend this company.

Polhus Paavo Sauna

I ordered a Paavo Sauna from Polhus. Ahmed was our point of contact from start to finish and I honestly could not be more pleased with the project.
Ahmed did a great job helping me with the specification and selecting the best configuration for our application and I never felt like he was trying to encourage us to order anything we didn't need. Just good clear information from someone who seems to really know their product.
The kit was really well made, the construction was reasonably easy and although we had a few issues during the build, all entirely due to my lack of skill and experience, Ahmed helped every time always responding to emails and even calling on occasion.
I would definitely use Polhus again and I am delighted with the Sauna
Thanks for all your help Ahmed👍

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Firstly - small issue but the delivery was a nightmare. Took weeks and weeks, much longer than they said. On the day of arrival was also chaotic, much later than we were told.

The day of construction we were aware we were going to need to dispose of the excess rubbish. However we were not told there would be razor blades and open pots of glue, hidden amoungst unused sheets of glass fiber in a pile in the garage. Very nasty challenging disposal.

Then comes the real issue - the window of the sauna is leaking after a couple of months. Given we went for a top of the range package (over 10k spent with the company) you would think you are going to get good treatment. Not with Polhus.

Firstly they tried to claim it was because the treatment was not applied correctly - two points on this. Firstly, it was done by a professional and it's perfect (photos supplied to the company). Secondly - even an UNTREATED sauna should not be leaking this quickly. I have had a professional look at it since and been told it is not build properly - there is a cap between the wood and the window causing the leakage - and fairly soon it will need serious repairs.

Do not expect high customer service if something goes wrong from this company. Buyer beware - wish I had spent a bit more on a Company with a higher customer satisfaction rating.

Hi Joseph,

We are truly sorry to hear about your experience, both with the delivery and with the issues afterwards. That’s not the kind of journey we want our customers to go through. Normally, we receive very positive feedback on our assembly orders, so it’s disappointing to learn that this was not the case for you.

When it comes to leftover building materials, this is something we inform in advance that customers need to handle themselves. We understand that this can sometimes be a bit inconvenient.

We also do our best to communicate if delivery delays occur so that customers can plan ahead. Unfortunately, delays can sometimes happen for reasons beyond our control and we’re sorry this affected you. In your case, we should have handled the communication better.

Regarding the windows, we supply high-quality untreated double-glass windows. It’s important that they are properly treated and sealed on the outside, especially around the joints between the glass and the wooden frames. Based on the photos you shared, we’ve already sent you recommendations on how to secure those parts.

We’d be glad to continue the dialogue and support you further if you have more questions about your sauna. We truly hope you will be able to enjoy many good moments in it ahead.

Best regards,
Tove

Great company and great Sauna

Communication with Polhus was very good – Rickard was very helpful over email and the Barrel Sauna arrived within a couple of weeks no problems.

It’s been nearly 12 months, and the Sauna works very well, and I’ve used it frequently. It’s probably one of my better investments.
