  Purchase date Aug 2022 Order Number: 081822-3000-789 Purchased a 1.5hp pool pump. Had the pump installed by a friend ($166), but he didn't notice Doheny's shipped a 1hp pump. This pump lasted 21 months, due to being g the wrong size. I didn't know it was the wrong size until the pump failed and my pool guy said it was a 1hp vs the 1.5hp I paid for. Contacted Doheny's, they said it has been to long to do anything about it. Bottom line, they charged me for a more expensive product and sent the less expensive model. That is fraud, as they are not interested in doing abutting about their actions. Thanks.

  In the time since this complaint was submitted, the company has reached out to rectify this situation.   The warranty for this product is 1 year, the return policy for this product is 30 days.  As our website depicts, we actually need to be notified of any issue with an order with in 24 hours and no more than 30 days after receipt.  If we had been notified of the error within this time frame a resolution would have been immediately extended. However, as so much time has passed to the point where the item was no longer even warranted this typically would be out of our hands and policy.  We have however come to an amicable resolution with the customer in this particular instance.

  Bought a salt cell on 6/7. Was told I would receive it 6/11. Called in tonight to see where it was and told it never left the warehouse. Was told employee would put in a ticket and should have 5-10 day. I ordered specifically from you b/c of it arriving today. I asked to speak to mgr. Mgr told me it was at warehouse still b/c their IT was down. Well that doesnt make much sense b/c it was suppose to leave the warehouse yesterday and arrive to my house today. She told me it should ship by days end which was 3pmEST and guess what it was 345ish EST when I was speaking to her. Wow still no tracking info. She told me it will leave warehouse tomorrow and I should see it Thurs, I asked where is warehouse and she was unsure but again remember she used IT being down in warehouse so I would think you know which warehouse has IT issues. Nothing but LIES you all are feeding me. Im thinking this place may just be a scam after all. Lastly I asked for a credit for in inconviences back to my cc and told shed give me $20 but it would be for merchandise only. What makes you think I was anything more when you havent delivered my 1st purchase? I also asked for expediate shipping and was told it wasnt offered. Very disappointed in the ** here and want true answer on my purchase!

  

  Business Response

  Date: 06/17/2024

  Hello,
  Below I have attached our next day delivery details.  Please note that the order was placed after our warehouse cut off time on Friday 6/07.  This would mean that the item was not capable of shipping until the warehouses reopen that following Monday 06/10. I apologize however as I do see that it was not physically shipped until 06/11, I do see that it was delivered by the carrier the following day 6/12.  For this delay we have applied a 10% credit back to the card that was used to purchase the product.  Please allow approximately 72 business hours for this refund to be visible on your statement.

  Purchased a new solar cover and a kit to attach the cover to my reel. The straps turned out to be extremely short about 2 foot. I contacted the company to see what I could do to return. I spent about 25 dollars in the kit and was told return shipping to them was 26 dollars and change. The kit weighs about a pound. How can returning it cost that amount. Absolutely terrible service when they state customers satisfaction is important to them. Shame on you Doheny never again

  I accidently ordered the wrong pool chemicals on 6-1-24 and tried calling them they were closed to cancel order. Called on 6-2-24 to cancel the order, they stated that I could not cancel the order and to have the product rerouted back to their company from FedX they are taking $18 from me. This product has not even shipped with Fed Ex as of right now. Poor customer ********************** and this is a scam to steal people's money. If Fed Ex will not reroute the package I have to pay for the return myself. Complete scammers. They need to have a better customer ********************** department as well as be able to cancel in less then 24 hours.

  Hello,
  I do apologize but as our website and confirmation emails do state Doheny's prides itself on delivering your pool supplies fast. To provide swift delivery service, orders are processed promptly for shipping. We are not able to stop the shipment, in that case the return policy would apply. Note, some items will ship from a third-party supplier. If that item has shipped or is in production, it cannot be cancelled.  Although the tracking information you were sent may not have shown movement, it more than likely was already in transit.  Tracking numbers do not show as shipped until the reach the first ***** hub and are unloaded and scanned in after departing our warehouse.  Unfortunately the associated fee for a reroute through the carrier is $18.00, the cost of a return label if not rerouted would have been $25 per our return policy also stated on the site.  I do see that it appears only a refund deduction of $8.50 was processed on your order as a courtesy.

  On Thursday, May 9, 2024, I placed an order with Dohenys, LLC for a pool filter and paid $249.99 plus tax for it. A ***** label with tracking number ************ was created on Friday, May 10, 2024. Because Dohenys advertises that it has thousands of items eligible for next day shipping, I was hoping to have the filter on Saturday, May 11 as I really needed it by Monday, May 13 at the latest. ***** tracking showed the item on their vehicle for delivery on May 13, but due to an Operational Delay, no delivery attempt was made. The same thing happened on Tuesday, May 14 and not knowing when or if I would get the filter, I traveled 70 miles roundtrip to a pool store to get a different one. On Wednesday, May 15 at 7:00 p.m. the ***** truck arrived at my home and I refused delivery after having informed Dohenys that I would be doing so. The filter was returned and received by Dohenys on May 22, 2024. Expecting a refund, I contacted the company on May 28 and was told that I would be getting a refund if I would consent to a reduction of $60.00 to cover the (what was supposed to be free) shipping. I explained that I refused delivery because the item was late through no fault of my own. I did not want to cancel the transaction and go to a pool store- in fact, it was a huge inconvenience I was trying to avoid in the first place. Dohenys, a multimillion-dollar company that touts its service "without the delay or hassle," is asking me to pay a 24% penalty for a situation that I did not cause. Doheny's should take up the issue of the $60.00 with ***** and extend to me some good will for something that was out of my control. Doheny's still has the brand new filter and can make a profit from someone else. I simply want a full refund.

  Hello,
  We apologize to hear about the experience you had with this delivery.  We have researched the issue, and it does appear that the late delivery was caused by an issue with the carrier *****.  The package was shipped on time via our warehouse and based on your close proximity from our TX warehouse location should have otherwise arrived in 1 business day.  Typically, when orders are refused for any other reason other than damage per our return policy the shipping fees billed to us by ***** are to be deducted from the applicable refund.  After sharing your experience, we have gone ahead and credited you back in full for the order.  This amount will be refunded back to the original card used to place this order, please allow approximately 72 business hours for the credit to be visible. Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.

  I shopped on this business website in need of supplies for my pool. The advertised delivery for ********* states Next Day Delivery to ********* **. Which is the city I live in, so I continued to purchase chlorine for my pool on 05/21/24. Believing I would get my product the next day 05/22/24. When I check on my item on 05/23/24 I noticed the delivery date said 05/30/24. I decided to contact the company and encountered a customer ********************** Agent that advised me that they shipped the item next day as promised I would need to contact ***** myself to resolve the issue. I asked if she could since that is their vendor they use to ship. She told me they are unable to make any outbound calls. I asked to just refund me I need the chlorine before the 30th, she told me I will have to pay $18 to cancel the shipment. I asked to speak to a supervisor since she was unable to help me with my issue with the misleading comment on their website. She transferred me to a supervisor named Hope that continued to tell me that I should have clicked on the details to see that it is only some items are delivered next day. I told her the website doesnt have that. She instructed me to click on the word change and then details. Which living in ********* why would I change the city? She told me the item I ordered wasnt in stock at the warehouse in *********, it was shipped from the Wisconsin warehouse. She then asked if I had any questions I should have called them to ask. I asked her why would I call it was clear on your website, she refused to acknowledge the misleading information on their website. I asked her to update it to say click here for details so consumers see up front thedetails. The item is still in ******* since 05/23/24, the item is clearly not moving, she told me its a Holiday weekend that is why it wont get there until the 30th. Which is 9 days. She ended up hanging up on me after I told her I will not be buying from them again and their customer ********************** was horrible.

  Hello,
  We apologize to hear about your recent experience. Please allow us a moment to explain, while it is true that we do offer next day delivery on 1,000's of skus, this is ultimately dependent on that specific products location in juxtaposition to your own.  As this varies by the item, on each product page just under where the item can be added to your account the shipping time frame updates based on the zip code that was input.  Other than for ****************, *********, not all products are stocked at all locations and therefore not available for next day delivery. Only those items with a Next Day Delivery designation on the product page can be expected to arrive the next day and orders must be placed by 3:00 PM Local Time (exceptions include our Texas warehouse by 2:30 PM). We do see that the item you ordered was only available in our ****************, ********* location and this would have accounted for the additional shipping days.  However, it does seem that it did take a little longer even considering the travel.  We do apologize for the delay and have issued a partial credit back to the card that was originally used to place this order.

  Hello and thank you bbb for accepting this complaint. I purchased a pool pump from this company and once the season became warmer I went to set it up. Missing parts, no instructions and the pump itself does not align to the pump tray. Now, I even had two pool specialist here attempting to piece together this pump I paid a premium for. I would like actual contact by the business and proper instructions, as well as replacement for the parts this pump is lacking.

  I filed a warranty claim for a solar cover purchased on 4/6/2022. This particular cover has a 7 year warranty. After sending them pictures, they approved my claim! However, they then went on to tell me I needed to send them a checked for $139.06. I paid $157.49 for this with free shipping. The current price of this product is $157.49 with no shipping. This is just mind blowing that it is prorated like this, and that they are saying I'm in year 3. I initially emailed them in March, which would have been 2 years. They told me two days ago on the phone when I called to re-email them because in March they were 3 DAYS behind on warranty claim emails. This makes me wonder if they were just ignoring it to push it out further. 5/8/2024 The manufacturers warranty on your cover has been approved. Prior to processing the replacement order, a check or money order in the amount of $139.06 is required. Youre in season 3 under the warranty.Please disregard the warranty card that accompanies your replacement cover. Your original warranty is prorated back to your original purchase date of 4/6/2022.Your replacement order will be processed upon receipt of both payment and a signed copy of this letter.Replacement Cost $110.24 Tax Cost $8.82 Shipping Cost $20.00 Total Amount Due: $139.06

  Hello,
  I do apologize to hear about the defective cover that you received.  Please note that the warranty for this product is upheld through DEI.  The manufacturer warranty does detail the proration structure and shipping fees that are due with these replacement covers.  Attached I have provided a copy of the warranty card that you received with in the box with the original cover.  In order to replace this cover under the terms of the warranty we would need a check or money order for this amount and the signed approval letter you were provided mailed to us.  Thank you.

  I had originally sent them an email on March 3rd.  Which would have been in the 2 year period requiring 0% paid.  Yet they somehow didn't get a chance to respond to that email.  So i finally called them and they requested I send a new email because in May they were 3 days behind on emails.  I informed him my original email was over 2 months ago.  This caused the new email to be after the 2 year mark.

  I ordered a 18'x36' inground pool cover on September, 2023. This cover has a 10 year warranty. This cover didn't last 6 months, let alone anything near the warranty period. It has ripped at the eyelets, the seams, and several other places. I contacted customer ********************** and sent them several pictures of the defects. He referred me to their warranty department DEI. I sent pictures of the damage and RIPPING AT THE ****** along with eyelets being pulled out. I received an email back saying this was damage due to "misuse" and "too much weight" I've owned in ground pools for 10-years and have never had an issue with a pool cover until now. I AM NOT ASKING FOR A REFUND, ONLY A BETTER COVER FOR THE ***** I PAID. This cover was defective and did not last 6 months. 10 year warranty????

  

  Business Response

  Date: 05/09/2024

  Hello,
  I do apologize to hear about the cover tearing, thank you for bringing this experience to our attention.  DEI agrees to repair or replace, at its option, any pool cover where the seam comes apart and/or stitching due to manufacturing defect according to the following pro-rate basis. All replacement covers are subject to a $20.00 shipping fee plus any applicable pro-ration. We have reached out to the warranty company to reevaluate the pictures you had sent, and they did inform us they have reversed the decision and approved the warranty claim in this instance.  Please check your email as they have sent you a message with instructions on next steps of how to replace this cover.  Thank you.
