Dishonest and misleading! Will never use again. Look for an honest company instead.

by rose1rkg, Jun 29, 2012 Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
This company is so dishonest and misleading in a number of ways.   First off is they claim free delivery, but charge a handling fee on every single order.  To me that is a shipping charge, and they should state it that way.  ...

In The Swim is awesome !! The first time I ordered with them was when we went to close our pool that we bought used. After getting all the chemicals in it and then go to put the cover on it was too small. We live in a rural area and would have to drive ...

I ordered a pool heater from this company. The heater arrived damaged but I did not discover the problem until I started to unpack it. In The Swim refuses to replace the unit because they claim it is shipping damage and is the shippers responsibility.
