AMERICAN SALE

Pool and Spa Service

About us

Founded in 1960, by Robert Jones Sr., American Sale is a family owned and operated business, providing our customers the best selection in home recreation and holiday items. Originally a toy store, the American Sale inventory has evolved over time to include items such as: patio furniture, hot tubs, above ground swimming pools, grills, billiard tables, home tanning systems and of course, Chicagoland's largest selection of the finest artificial Christmas trees and holiday décor. Operating 7 stores throughout the Chicago suburbs and Northwest Indiana, American Sale has successfully serviced customers for almost 50 years. The company prides itself on complete customer satisfaction. Owner and CEO Robert Jones continues to hand-pick items for store inventory, and is focused on bringing customers the best selection of home recreation and holiday items available in stores or online. With the ability to import products directly from manufacturers all across the world, American Sale houses their inventory in a massive 225,000 square foot warehouse, centrally located in Chicago, the heart of the country, which maximizes delivery efficiencies for our customers. And because there is no "middle man", American Sale customers receive their products at substantial savings versus many retailers who simply do not have the space or ability to import and store items in mass quantities. With the creation of a company website, American Sale is happy to make the same great products found in our stores available to customers around the globe. And our online shoppers can rest assured that they will receive the same reliable customer service that has made us the leader in home recreation and holiday goods throughout the Chicago area. Thank you for shopping with American Sale. We appreciate your business.

This is a company that will treat you well when they are selling to you, and treat you with total disdain afterward. The service team repeatedly messed up the installation of the tub they sold us. They didn't ship the tub with all of the parts. Then their negligence led to the tub freezing during a storm, which broke multiple parts inside of the tub and led to leaking. Then, they decided they were no longer willing to help us repair the mistakes they caused. I was forced to bring in an outside vendor and spend $2,800 to repair all the damage that American Sale had caused. (That outside vendor confirmed all this damage was totally preventable had American Sale done their job.) It took four months from the installation until I was finally able to use the tub. I contacted American Sale and asked them to reimburse me for the damage they caused, they responded "we feel that we have handled all your requests and communicated very effectively."

THE POOL IS FINE, BUT THE INSTALLATION AND WORKMANSHIP IS WHAT WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH. THE INSTALLATION COMPANY INSTALLED THE POOL IMPROPERLY: THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH SAND UNDERNEATH THE POOL FOR LEVELING AND THIS WAS THEIR FIRST TIME INSTALLING A POOL LIKE THE ONE WE HAD. AMERICAN POOL SALES WAS CALLED AGAIN AND THE INSTALLER WAS CALLED BACK AGAIN. THERE WERE LARGE HOLES IN THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL FROM THE EARTH SETTLING. HE CAME OUT, SAID IT WAS REPAIRED, AND WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FLOOR OF THE POOL, AND WE NOW HAVE DENTS IN OUR POOL FROM THEM SUPPOSEDLY FIXING IT AND THE WALL IS NOW BUCKLING OUT. I WOULD SUGGEST TO ANYONE TO MAKE SURE WHEN YOU DEAL WITH AMERICAN SALES YOU GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW MUCH SAND WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR POOL BECAUSE THIS INSTALLER THAT WORKED FOR AMERICAN POOL SALE DID NOT HAVE A CLUE.
Description of Work: PURCHASED A POOL.
