Hello BBB. I purchased a sealy air mattress on 3/9/25 from ******. The mattress was brand new. I noticed that the mattress kept deflating after sleeping on it. I registered the air mattress with BESTWAY USA. I could not find a telephone number in the paperwork that came with the mattress. Finally I found their phone number on the internet. I called Bestway & told them about the deflation issue. They told me it was under *************** would send me another one. They asked for pictures of the model/serial number, the original box it came in, & a picture of the ***** name on the box. I emailed all this info to BESTWAY. I received another email that they instructed me to cut the serial # from the mattress, hold it in the palm of my hand & take a picture. So I called their customer service & told them I could not cut the mattress because Im using it until the replacement mattress arrives. Although it significantly deflated by morning, Im still using it because my waterbed mattress sprung a ******** do not have another bed or mattress. The customer service department was very rude & unhelpful. All air mattress companies do not allow a return once the mattress has been used. If I had gone to TARGET or ******* to purchase an air mattress to sleep on until the new one is shipped I could not return it. I explained this to the customer service **** I am a 61 yr. old woman weighing 130 pounds. The air mattress should not be deflating & I am not sleeping on the floor. BESTWAY needs to send me a new air mattressBusiness Response

Their website is used to order replacement parts for pools like mine. When you search for parts, you enter the specific pool and year, and the part pops up. There are no dimensions shown, so you would assume it's the correct part, which I did and ordered. When it came, it was 6" too long. I went back to the site and searched and found that you must click under FAQSand Specifications to see any dimensions. Their policy has no way to exchange, and it is customer responsibility to pay shipping to send back. So, now **** FED EX, and ************** charge extensively more than the cost of the product to send it back. It isn't heavy, just a long box. Even though I placed an order for the new item, they would not send me a return label or help with the cost. Terrible business and I wish I'd never ordered from this company. I'm disappointed and frustrated because the item is unused and they don't seem to care about their customers. The item cost ***** and shipping is ****** per us postal service.Business Response

Much to my chagrin I purchased a Bestway pool from ******. My complaint is about the sand filter (not ******* that leaks. BESTWAY HAS NO REPLACEMENT PARTS.Nearly EVERYTHING online pertaining to gaskets or the sand filter are ALWAYS OUT OF STOCK.THE PARTS ARE PROPRIETARY & cant otherwise be replaced.A several dollar gasket that would resolve my issue is out of stock, leaving me no choice but to throw my several thousand dollar pool away or hope to find a different manufacturer sand filter that will work.Either way I risk stagnant water that will attract mosquitoes, risk potential fines from the city and county for having several thousand gallons of stagnant water, and will have ****** away the purchase price of the pool, and several hundred dollars of water, which is unacceptable considering I live not just in ********** but in the desert, where water is an even more precious commodity.Selling products for several thousand dollars that have a limited lifespan due to the unavailability of replacement parts is unconscionable. I need the pool for health reasons and the lack of professionalism and accountability on the behalf of Bestway is unacceptable.Business Response

I bought a pool last year. Im now having trouble with the liner leaking and stuff. I contacted the company. They are asking for proof of purchase and wont do anything without it.The thing is I no longer have the proof of purchase because I dont keep receipts longer than 2 months. I showed pictures to them of the damage and the serial number on my pool and still nothing. All I want is a liner replacement for my pool.Business Response

It was a pleasure speaking with you today. As discussed on our phone call, we will be sending you a replacement pool liner as a one-time exception. This replacement will only include the liner and will not have a warranty on it due to being outside of the warranty time period. Please keep in mind that for any future claims, a valid Receipt will be required to move forward with your claim. Please do not throw anything away until you receive your replacement, since we will only be replacing the defective item. Any accessory thrown away that did not need replacement before the arrival of your replacement item, will have to be purchased.
If you have any further issues, do not hesitate to reach out to our Customer Support Team at ************. Our Operating Hours are Monday - Friday from 7:30am - 4:00pm (MST).

Bestway usa spa and pump recently had a pump that was on recall for electrical problems and they told us to cut the cord on are pump in order to get a new one. So i did and it took ( 7 ) months just to get the new one. I recently got it last month and i just opened it up today and installed it and as i was filling up the hottub/spa with water and it was half full with water thats alot of gallons. And i turn the pump on to filter the water and water starts pouring out of the pump underneath the power wire and other wires and components ' it could have been worse if i didnt check it and notice it was leaking before i filled it entirely up with water. I just wasted alot of water and thats not cheap. I checked the pumps label and it said they manufactured it in ***** ? I would like a new one thats not defected or thats on a recall. They should all be quality tested and inspected before they leave the manufacturing plant to meet all specifications. Hopefully i dont have to wait another 7 months.Business Response

I am very dissatisfied with Bestway. I spent over $600 on a pool for my children on 4/2024. 3 months into the summer the pump stopped working. Best way shipped a new pump out. At the end of summer I put the pool up in my temperature controlled storage. I just took it out, put it together, then filled it up. I went to then turn the pump on and found it will not turn on, due to a manufacturers issues YET AGAIN! I submitted a warranty claim to find out they denied it as there is only a 6 month warranty on this pool. So they are telling me I spent $600 of my hard earned money for a pool that is now worthless without a pump? Most warranties are 1 year. They must know it is poorly manufactured which is why they only have a 6 month warranty on it, as more than likely the pump wont work after 6 months and then you are screwed and out of warranty. I have bought my last 3 pools from Best way and wanted this one to be a long haul pool. I will not spend more money on a pump for this pool, as this was not my fault and is a mfg issue.not to mention my pool came without the cover to which I was told there is nothing they can do as they are out of stock. I would like this settled with a new pump and cover. Otherwise, they have lost a very loyal customer.Business Response

******,
Thank you for contacting us via the BBB. Customer Satisfaction is very important to us! I am so sorry you are having a negative experience with getting a replacement for your pool pump.
As discussed earlier today, we would be happy to provide you with a new pump for you to get you back into your pool and continue enjoying your product once we receive the image of the cord cut on your current pump. We also will be sure to include the cover you were missing from your original purchase as we have them back in stock! Unfortunately, you are outside of the warranty period so these items will not come with a new warranty and any future parts needed must be purchased.

So I bought the inflatable hot tub through **** Club. They did a great job delivering it quickly, but I have now spent two days trying toset it up I finally got it set up and it has been heating for the last 24 hours. I just went outside and it off. My app says off-line. Theres no one to help me. I called and spoke to someone who told me that they cannot troubleshoot that you do not have live technicians that she is only in the recall department, but there is no manager no one to help me, which is absolutely unacceptable. You sell a product and then you force people to use a virtual chat that does not help you. Then you force someone to go to your website and fill out a form where I have to get a call back. is unacceptable and horrible service. I shouldve known better in reading the reviews. So now I spent a whole day trying to set it up Now Im spending a whole day trying to get it to turn back on and continue to heat because its turned off, it wont turn back on and the application says off-line. So I have a product that I spent money on that I cannot use. Your set up instructions ****. Horrible.Business Response

I have had to use airbeds for a few months now. And after only a few months, I have 4 airbeds all rolled up and stacked in a corner ready to be trashed. These beds cost anywhere between $60-over $100, and they are very poorly manufactured. The reason why these beds are always deflating after a short time of use, is because they get these tiny little holes that happen when poor stitching or bonding is. I've put numerous patches and the bed will.still deflate. I can't even find the leak in this one, but by the way it's deflating it must be a massive hole. Each time I buy a bed it asks if I want to buy warranty for like $7 or $12. No, I don't because I don't expect the thing to stop working after a week We only sleep on it. The two of us combined is under 200 pounds. My question is, are you kidding? With this? You need to stop selling these at such high prices. I want my money back for this one I have now. Bought it not even a month ago. 2 weeks after we got it, deflating all the time. Gotta wake up and turn on the hideously loud air pump about once an hour or so. Then there's the issue of customer service. Not all customers can just be on the phone. And I like to have record of what was said. This company has no way to email You have to call. Ok then, whoever calls me from here will be recorded.Business Response
