Poor Communication Results in Planning Issues
We purchased a high-end bathtub from Aquatica in early May, providing more than three and a half months of lead time for a planned late-August delivery. Unfortunately, the experience turned into a masterclass in poor communication and lack of accountability. As our delivery window approached, customer service completely went dark. Emails and phone calls went entirely unanswered for weeks, forcing us to scramble while our contractors were actively working on the rough-in stage. It required escalating all the way to executive leadership of the parent company just to get a status update. When the tub finally arrived weeks late, it caused significant project delays, forcing extra out-of-pocket costs for rescheduled contractor trips and leaving our primary living space disrupted. While leadership eventually stepped in to expedite the final leg of shipping, their ultimate response to our financial and logistical losses was dismissive, advising that customers should simply order months earlier to account for factory delays. For a luxury-priced brand, the customer service, communication, and post-sale accountability do not match the product cost. We have two more bathrooms to remodel in our home, but based on this experience (and the company ultimately ghosting our follow-up communications) we will never purchase from Aquatica again.
