“BUYER BEWARE” We purchased a pool complete kit on June 30, 2020 when they called and we talk after purchase we were told that we would be getting the tracking information in about a week. We never received a call or any tracking information tried multiple times to get a hold of him. Jay then told us that we were told that they was all on back ordered, then we could expect delivery of our pool on August 3 to 13. Then they said if we cannot wait they understand and would refund our money. On August 3 still no email, so we again sent Multiple emails and tried to call, still no reply. So we sent another email requesting status and we stated if the pool has not shipped please cancel our order. We was told once that it was due to shipping delays, we told him that we would drive up there and pick it up, Jay told us he does not allow that due to COVID-19. We want our money back not reply sent three or four emails still no reply trying to call left messages no reply. Then we get another message from the company stating it will be the end of August I replied and told them Just cancel we want our money back no reply, still no reply. We called my bank told them what was going on They wanted us to file fraud complaint! For selling items that is listed in stock but not in. I told him I did not want to do that I just want our money back. After three weeks of emailing calling leaving messages finally getting a an email from Jay which is a very rude person. Say thing like in a perfect world, perfect this and perfect that. I told him we just want the order canceled! I don’t understand why it is not being canceled we want our money back. Finally 3 1/2 weeks after telling them the first time to cancel our order. Very rude Jay told us our order was canceled, now three days later it still shows our order is being processed. They did tell us it could take up to 20 days before we receive our refund, why? When they can take the money out as soon as we place the order, why does it take 20 days to get our money back? I believe they just say whatever they want to get your money. They make you believe that they are a Christian-based company, that use Bible verses all over their website. They lie to you so much, how can they be a Christian-based company. So here We are almost 3 months later when promised a pool And having to pay for a loan! When we don’t have the product. Now are they going to pay The loan payments, NO! Are they going to pay for all the dirt work that we had done for a pool that was promised, NO! Are they going to pay for having the dirt work redone after it sit there For three months, “NO”, and now it has to be reworked, NO! Yes we are very mad, about this! We do believe this company should not be in business! We believe this company should take all the Bible verses off their website because, they are not “Christian-based”, we believed if they was a Christian-based company that would they be honest to you, and tell you at the beginning they are not in stock, and it could take 3 or 4 month! Besides that, after we made our purchase. Now on their website they have warnings that it might take a couple of weeks longer. Where is the couple weeks, why wasn’t we told that it could take months. Then we found out another couple at our church also ordered a pool from this company and they are getting the same runaround as we are. If you cannot get Items, why are You trying to sell the items? Other company websites has it listed out of stock. So they are selling items they do not have in stock they do not know when they will be back in stock. So “BUYER BEWARE”, do not buy anything from FAMILYPOOLFUN.COM THIS COMPANY WILL LIE TO YOU! We have kept all of the emails from this company and the couple of text messages they sent to us! So, now when people ask us about purchasing a pool. We tell them to not us them, and we tell them why. We are also, more than happy to show them the emails messages if they want to see them!

This company has the worst customer service i have ever experienced. We purchased a pool package. It took over 3 months to arrive. The fompsmy doesn't answer the phone, or return emails. The tracking information didn't work. Pool came missing parts and with no instructions. Now they just charged me for another charge i didn't place. Do not do business with this company.

Ordered a pool liner, that showed it was in stock 07/11/20. They called me on 07/23/20 to confirm my credit card number, billed my card. 08/11/20 a pool liner was delivered. Not the one I ordered. Sent an e-mail. They responded right away, asking for pictures of the box. Sent pictures, a copy of my order and what I received. No response.....no refund....still waiting! Beyond frustrated, purchaser from their home state!

DO NOT ORDER!!! BUYER BEWARE!!! I ordered my pool on June 22, 2020 and was called the next day to confirm order. The lady I spoke with told me it would be delivered in exactly 4 weeks. As it came closer to 4 weeks I heard nothing so I contacted the company. You cannot get through on their phone numbers so I emailed several times. The owner Jay called me and BERATED me on the phone for basically inquiring about my order. He then proceeded to raise his voice that I had given him the wrong number to call and then he said and I quote, "Go back! Go back and look at your email!" After we hung up I did go back and look and I had given him the CORRECT phone number. I was dumb enough to allow him to talk me into proceeding with the pool order because he assured me it would arrive the first week of August. As you can imagine, that time came and no pool arrived. He then told me 2 more weeks. The emails he does actually answer normally have a copied and pasted section about Covid and the warehouse missing the shipping schedule. In his emails he explains that some companies are taking 6 to 8 weeks to process orders yet his company (FamilyPoolFun) is not. BUT here I was at week 6 and told 2 more weeks. I hope he realizes people can do simple addition. I demanded my refund. I emailed after several days to check on my refund and he THEN told me he told the warehouse to cancel my order. My pool was never even at the warehouse according to previous emails! He then actually tried to convince me to put a pool on lay-a-way (he said other customers are choosing to do lay-a-way) since pools will be more expensive in 2021 due to the shortage this year. He sent me a cancelled invoice and told me 3 to 18 business days for my refund to process. I received my refund 9 business days later (which is today). Surprise! He retained $85 of my money as a "cancellation fee". A fee for a product HE NEVER HAD!! He has very poor business practices. He claimed he had merchanise in stock only so people would purchase. There really is a pool shortage, you can look it up, but he saw the opportunity to line his pockets and he took it by claiming he had what others did not. Then people began getting wise and demanding to know where their orders are and wanting refunds. He does not update you until you actually slam him with emails and then he spins another story of the warehouse missing the delivery deadline. He commented on someone else's review that he was allowing orders from his website in order to place customers on a waiting list. It does not state that on his website, it says the items are IN STOCK and that is FALSE! He seems shocked that people are angry. No wonder - customers believed he had the products in stock and many of us spent hundreds to thousands to prepare our yards where our pools were to be installed - YET THERE IS NO POOL! He rarely communicates and when he does, he lies and comes off incredibly disrespectful. Please listen to me and to everyone else who has had the headache of dealing with this business. SHOP ELSEWHERE!!!

They promised a pool and we set up financing and waited, and waited. You can't reach them by phone, the Facebook does work but they just have a generic response nothing real and the support site where you post your activities has no real responses, they just say resolved. When you get them on the phone, they are rude and lie. 2 months later than the original date we were supposed to/ promised to get the pool and we have nothing but "resolved" activities and no pool or help. FAMILYPOOLFUN YOU SUCK!!!!!

experience positive until point of sale. Jay was super responsive on front end of transaction returning all calls and texts promptly. All down hill after sale. impossible to reach any one, no communication or status update, numerous false promises and changes to timelines. I was initially told that my pool would be delivered 4 weeks after purchase - that was in May. Heading into end of summer and still nothing. I have challenged charge through my bank and want a full refund. Pity no zero star option.

I’m writing an update on a review I had written. So like most I was charged for an order I placed but had an awful time trying to find out what was going on with it. After countless calls and emails I AM HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE that Jay and his team reimbursed my money today!! It did take awhile from start to finish but they did come through.

Very happy that I was able to find the steps I needed for my pool. However, it is extremely difficult to get someone to call you back from this company.

I contacted this company on June 5th and to ask what the shipping times for pools were, I was told by Cierra that it would be approx 4 weeks. 4 weeks came and went and I didn't have a pool, I called and emailed multiples times with no response. I finally got a message that I would have it on the July 16 and finally received a partial order on July 24th. I contacted the company to tell them that I received the wrong pool, wrong mat, I paid for an upgraded mat, the wrong pool cleaner, no liner, no pump and no pool cover. I received a call from Jay on Sat July 25 who explained that the pool I received was the correct pool, the pool liner ships separately and to take pictures of the incorrect items and send them in. I took photos and returned them within an hour of speaking with Jay. Since them I've followed up on the 27th, 28th and 29th via email and telephone with no response. I ordered from this company because I was told that I would have a pool in 4 weeks. It's been 8 weeks Friday and I don't have a complete pool and cannot get these people to return my messages. Furthermore they claim to have the pools in stock, if they had them in stock then the COVID non-sense wouldn't be an issue.

Can’t be trusted. Really just need to communicate honestly, we would have been very understanding but instead the choose to lie instead of telling the truth. Has been paid in full for over 10 weeks and we have nothing but a bunch of lies and misleading emails and phone calls

PLEASE STAY AWAY!!! So like EVERYONE ELSE they took my money and will not answer my calls or emails. I have filed complaints with BBB, Attorney General Office in both Massachusetts and Minnesota, Federal Trade Commission as well as my Bank. I understand with COVID thing are difficult, but taking peoples money and Ignoring them is disgusting. I hope 🤞🤞🤞that people read these reviews and buy elsewhere to save themselves a HUGE HEADACHE!!

I called the Browns Valley sheriffs department today to start to report to get my money back. You can also contact the Minnesota attorney general if you are going thru the same thing that we have with this company taking our money then having 4 false expected delivery dates and still don’t have a pool. We’ve had zero communication or responses to hundreds of emails, messages and calls. Only time they message is to push it back our delivery even longer. We called them in May to make sure they had the pool we wanted. They owner assured us that they did have it in stock. We paid for it in full and then suddenly the pool just disappeared!! They can’t ever answer the phone let alone an email. Taking thousands of dollars and then disappearing is not ok!! They are also deleting posts off their Facebook page So everyone that complains gets deleted and then blocked. Will update

Do not order from this company, they will rip you off! I order a pool in April and was told it would take until end of June to get it. Here it is, end of July with no pool, no refund, and no contact from the company despite several calls, emails and texts. They were very kind and helpful when I ordered, but have now stolen my money and from other reviews, it looks like I'm not the only one.

I have ordered a pool and several items from them and never had an issue until now. Just need a replacement liner which is 1 year old and has a 15 yr warranty and I have not heard from them in almost a week. They said to call the manufacturer which I did and was told that it has to go through Jay and his company. I messaged them back and nothing, no reply, no we are working on it, nothing! Very disappointed as they have been great before this.

Have sent several emails and called several times and left messages (no answer of course) AND STILL NOTHING!!! C’mon people, get it together! You have several businesses under the same owner and I don’t understand how. Your customer service is a joke! I get it, times are tough right now but you’ve had months to adjust to the new standards! 🤦🏼‍♀️ As of July 21 our pool pump blows sand in the pool no matter what we do. Bought another 200lbs of sand thinking that was the issue and it wasn’t. I have tried contacting familypoolfun for advice and they dont return my calls. Am now in the process of filing complaint through the Better Business Bureau. Oh and when you call and get their voicemail, the owner says God Bless. What type of Godly being treats people with such deceit?!? ***Take my advice as well as many others, spend your hard earned money elsewhere!!!***

Despite everyone else giving this company 1 stars I am giving them 5. We ordered our pool on May 16th knowing that we were in the middle of a pandemic and that things would be delayed. We were first told that our pool would be delivered the last week on June first week of July. That worked for us since we had to prep our yard for the install. We then received a second email saying that our delivery would be the first full week of July second week of July. I kept in contact with the company via text message (yes it was a few hours or a day before I received a response). I also sent emails and always received a response back. While others feel like Jay is just giving the run around I did not feel that way at all. He gave me honest answers and told me that my pool was delayed. The only problem I ran into was that my pool was sitting at the shipping warehouse in my town for a few days without my knowledge. But I made a phone call to the shipping company SCIA and they had us scheduled for the next day. My husband and I checked our package and all pieces were there. We also used the extra time to level our ground. In the end and after a lot of youtube videos we decided to have a pool construction build our pool. The pool is absolutely beautiful and worth the wait. My advice about this company is to be patient. While some feel like they are just getting the run around. I feel like this company is working hard to fill orders during such a difficult time in our country. Pools are still being manufactured but slowly since people are working with social distancing etc. No one and I mean no one could have predicted that COVID-19 would have impacted our lives the way it has. It also doesn't help that we are stuck in our homes with nothing to do so many are buying pools that normally would not. This season is a different case than normal. But I appreciate all of the hard work that Jay and his employees are putting in for us so we can still enjoy what is left of summer!
