      Purchased a 18x42in Prism frame above ground pool from Academy. The pool was a surprise for my kids for the 1st day of Summer and to have for Memorial Day party. We leveled the ground with clean dirt, placed the tarp plus an additional tarp down and put the pool together. We noticed a leak in the pool after putting together and filling with water. I contacted Academy where we bought it and they suggested to reach out to manufacture as it would be difficult to disassemble and return. I submitted form for customer service at ********************** and never received a response. I am out the over $800 on the pool, my kids were disappointed in not having the surprise pool, and our Memorial Day plans had to be changed. In addition to the pool, all the gallons of water to fill are subsequently wasted adding additional money lost on this pool. I would like someone to help me address this issue.

      I purchased a pure spa hot tub. It is still under warranty. I put a warranty claim in for the cover of the hot tub which they sent out by *****. I never received. They said they were opening an investigation and now will not follow through. It has been over 60 days it was supposed to be resolved by March 28, 2024 still no resolution and possible to speak to a manager supervisor only accessible. **************** is a call centre where they are unable to assist you. A manager will call you back within 24 to 48 which often do not call back and when they do tell me, they have no answers for me. I am entitled to a replacement as it under warranty. I would like my hot tub cover as I have the hot tub with no cover so it is useless.

      I purchased an INTEX air bed at ******* 12/7/2023, which was defective and would not retain air. Although there were fail efforts to make contact with INTEX at ************ or at ************************************************************************************ wouldnt not accept the return of the defective air bed and refund my $86.51. Therefore I disputed the charge on my *********** account, resulting in case **************, being opened. *********** indicated that they contacted ******* but declined to assist my efforts in contacting INTEX CORPORATION, and charged $86.51 back on my account. This seems to a pass the buck scam.

      On Mar 15 I ordered an air hose to pump up an Excursion Pro kayak. I looked up the part number on their website and ordered two. The part number I found was *****. I purchased two. The order confirmation number is #*********. The part was only $3.92 ea for a total of $7.88 plus tax. The part number is incorrect. **************** confirmed the part number is *****. They refused to send me the correct part and called me a liar. She said the web site was correct. It wasn't. She refused to acknowledge their error and correct it. She refused to make things right with me. Instead of, "Thank you for identifying this error. We'll get it corrected. Let me send you the correct part.", I got, "You are using the incorrect season. (Part number is incorrect in all seasons) No our website is correct. You can order the correct part. We'll give you a refund if you ship it back to us (shipping is more expensive than the part)." She just had to be right and me wrong. She devalued me as a person who was just trying to help the company by identifying an error and get the correct part. I would like an apology from the company for devaluing me and I would either like a refund (shipping on them) or a replacement sent with the correct item.

      I purchased an air mattress on 3/26. I used it 3 times. On the 29th, I was away from home until the 31st. Lo and behold, when I return, I see the brand new air mattress, it's half deflated. I went to their web site and tried to file a complaint, only to find out after typing for 15 minutes, that the submit button is not active (that's one way to limit complaints) and of course, when you call the customer service line you are treated to the only phone line in the 21st century that has no voicemail option (again, another great way to limit complaints). After looking at all of the current complaints I understand that I have been ripped off by a professional and the best I can do is spread the word to avoid this garbage company's cheap, crappy products.

      I bought an air mattress from this company that within a few months of using it it deflated slowly and I would sink during the night and refill it 2 or 3x. I tried a patch but could never find the hole. It has a warranty I did everything they require but they deny it every time. They want an itemized invoice which I sent them the invoice from the store I bought it online and only have one type of invoice. This is completely fraud. The are unwilling to honor the warranty and make it impossible to work on their website on it. I did my part I want them to replace the bed.

      On 12/01/2023 I purchased two ITEX air mattresses from Target. They were picked up from the store on 12/02/2023. The mattresses were not used until a few days ago and both were damaged. One mattress would not stay inflated; and the second mattress slowly deflated throughout the night. Target would not take the product back, even though it was still within the eligible time frame to return, only because the store told me the company wanted to deal with their product issues. When I called the INTEX, I was told the warranty was 90 days and they would not replace or refund the mattresses.I had not used the mattresses and was unaware they were purchased damaged. I did not need the warranty because the mattress was purchased damaged and within the return period of the store where i purchased it. I would like to either return the damaged product for a refund, or receive a credit. Warranty is typically for a product that has been used, but might need to be fixed or replaced during a set time period. The item was damaged when I bought it.
