    **** owner of tropical wholesale ensured us that the the jacuzzi brand tub was a lifetime warranty item and we complained to ***** numerous times regarding the jacuzzi tub hinge for the door is falling apart two years ago, ******* got bought out by another company and the new owners of jacuzzi tubs came by with ****, **** was the guys name, and ensured us that the part will be found and replaced as soon as possible. There is a crack in the door of the jacuzzi tub and was noted by **** and they would be remedying the crack by replacing the door and the hinge. Two years ago, the tub door started leaking and we told **** and ****, so far nothing has been done to solve the leak, cant even fill the jacuzzi tub and use the tub without the tub leaking water all over the bathroom floor. Made numerous calls to Matts cell phone and text messages, and nothing gets done.

    Repeated contact with Tropical Wholesale regarding installation of a broken and wrong screen type and poor caulking have met with no response and no resolution from the owner for over a year and with no resolution or followup work from a team member for months. that person did say he would come by when he's in the area, but he hasn't come since his first visit last year. I have been patient for over a year, but it seems nothing is going to be done by Tropical Wholesale to fix the problems. I was able to call the office and speak to a staff person on May 8, 2023. Her role is to relay messages to the owner. Unfortunately, now it seems I have been blocked from calling. Also, I am forbidden to access their website. Upon signing the contract, I was assured by the owner that I would have a lifetime warranty on products and labor. After the installation, my credit card was automatically charged for the balance of the payment without being notified. It seems Tropical Wholesale kept my credit card information on file, even though I specifically called the owner to have it removed when I saw it on the contract. He assured me that he'd take care of it. Long story short: I had to have the charge removed and a cashier's check made for final payment.This was an extremely stressful and bad experience.
