I don't know if I would risk the money and get a bed that doesn't work

They replace the top piece that was cracked But the tanning be had 8 bulbs that didn't not work and it's been almost a year going calling emailing to get it fixed. The ballast is out and they can't get anyone out to fix it. I was sent 4 new ballast. Still not fixed. I don't know if I would risk $4000 for a bed that doesn't work.

Dear Shelly. We apologize for the damage that you discovered after accepting the delivery and the issue with the lamps. The bed shipped direct to you from the Solar Storm factory and they have told us they are in contact with you and coordinating to correct the issues under the manufacturer warranty. We apologize again for the inconvenience the has caused.

I purchase self tanning mist regularly…

I purchase self tanning mist regularly and I received a bum bottle that wouldn't spray. They immediately responded and are sending me a new bottle at no charge. Very happy with the prompt response from Amanda. Sincerely Lisa

Don't make any mistakes buying a part

Don't make any mistakes buying a part. Their returns are basically pointless so you are stick with it if you make a mistake with no refund. The fees are allllllll there.

Dear Ellie. I apologize for your frustration and the situation in choosing the wrong spray head for your spray tanning turbine. We always encourage customers to ask questions if they are not sure what part or product to order and if we make a mistake in directing them we will provide returns or exchanges without any fee. When a customer does make a mistake and orders the wrong product and would like to exchange we may need to deduct the shipping costs on the order from the refund. Some of the professional parts you see on our site also ship direct to buyers from the manufacturers and they many charge a restocking fee to return an item. If a customer buys a product of the type you did and and decides to make an exchange with us for the correct product we will pay the manufacturer restocking fee ourself and you will not be charged that as we explained in our emails to you. However, if a customer does not want to exchange and only wishes to return the product to the factory for a refund (as you did in this case) the manufacturer may charge a restocking fee and the shipping costs will be deducted from the return. If you had exchanged the product for the correct item you would have received free shipping to send you the correct product and you would only have paid for the actual shipping costs on the incorrect order as we would have paid the restocking fee. I am very sorry for the situation and poor experience..

DON'T BELIEVE THE DELIVERY...Issue with the bed from the startTIMES ON WEBSITE

It has been 7 weeks since I made my purchase, still no tanning bed. No one can give me an actual fulfillment date or shipping date! I was told the warehouse was in the midst of moving to a new location. Well, the warehouse should have made this information available to the Suntanning store to tell their customers. Not very good customer service on either parties part. It's frustrating to pay for a purchase and have to wait weeks and weeks for any updates!**UPDATE AS OF 07/13 STILL NO BED ORDER STILL SHOWS UNFULFILLED. Everytime I email them, I get a different answer on the delivery date. Note: they did compensate me with a 100.00 credit, but at this point, that is not enough.*****As of 8/16, I still cannot use the bed, 3 weeks after receiving it. The was an issue right off. Some of the bottom bulbs did not light up, but the bulbs are good. Next time I turned it on, 8 bottom bulbs not working. Supposedly they are shipping new parts for the bed and a technician is supposed to come fix it. This has been the most frustrating ordeal. We will see if and when a tech actually comes to fix it. I have wasted alot of time just trying to get this issue resolved. UPDATE 8/30, I still don't have a working bed. It's been collecting dust for over a month now. Replacement parts were received over a week ago, but as of today, still no information as to when a technician will be here to fix the issue. Worst customer service I have ever dealt with.

Dear Sheila, we apologize for the situation and your frustration with your May order of the ESB Tanning Bed. All ESB tanning beds and booths are made to order and shipped direct to buyers from the ESB factory and this is handled the same by all sellers.

At the time of your order the ESB factory was asking sellers to expect shipments in approximately 6 weeks after order placement. However, in early June ESB moved out of their old factory and into a new facility (all departments including manufacturing, inventory warehousing, shipping etc.). This full physical relocation of their entire business was more complicated than expected and the resumption of business took longer than estimated. There were certain hard to predict variables involved in the move that made it hard for the ESB factory to make good shipping estimates on specific orders.

However, The ESB factory is now fully back up and running and working hard to get caught up on their shipping queue. The tanning bed on your order shipped from the new ESB factory on 7/24 and after it was received you reported sone of the lamps were not working. After you reported the issue to us we immediately contacted the service and warrant group at the factory and asked that they correct the issue. At this time the factory is working to schedule a local technician to make the repairs under the manufacturer warranty and we expect the bed to be operating perfectly very soon. I again sincerely apologize for this situation and poor customer experience.

Do not deal with this company

Do not deal with this company. Charged $450 to ship. Then said they can't deliver to my address, unless you help unload the truck???? What?? They needed a smaller truck? I live in a normal neighborhood. Most neighbors, as myself, were moved into our house via a large semi? Seems like a scam on shipping. Doubt I'll see my purchase. Taking it up with my credit card.

We are always disappointed to see a customer unhappy for any reason. In this case we worked to try and resolve an issue our customer experienced with the freight company Southeastern Freight www.sefl.com in delivering a tanning canopy order in a positive way and we are sharing those details below so readers have full context on what occurred. Mr. Owens ordered a Tanning Canopy from us on May 30th and it was shipped to him by the manufacturer with their carrier Southeastern Freight www.sefl.com and a delivery attempt was made on June 11th. The delivery address is on a small narrow dead end road with full tree cover in some locations as shown in Google Maps. It would be helpful for readers to see this address to appreciate the challenge of a full sized 18 wheel freight truck accessing and exiting the location but we cannot provide the exact location to maintain privacy.

Our shipping policy as well as those of all other sellers of tanning equipment shipped by freight requires an address be accessible to a full sized 18 wheel truck and if it is not deemed accessible then the delivery may be done in an alternative location. However, in most cases a freight shipping company may also be able to use a small box truck to access some locations rather than asking a customer to meet the full sized truck at an alternative location. Also, freight deliveries are made with curbside delivery which means the delivery truck gets as close as possible to the address on the public street and delivers the shipment curbside. For this delivery, the freight company assessed the address and did not feel a full sized 18 wheel truck could access and exit the road so rather than delivering the shipment to an alternative street they tried delivery in a small box truck. With this small truck the driver was able to reach the front of the customer's address but the 85 lb. canopy needed to be taken off off the back of the truck. The driver and also the customer told us he refused to remove the canopy from the back of the box truck and rejected the delivery.

We tried communicating with Mr. Owens and the freight company to find a resolution between the two but in our last communications with the customer on June 10th he felt the shipping company should have the staff to bring the shipment to his door and if not then into his driveway and if not he would contact his credit fard company to submit a chargeback. On June 11th, we received an email from the customer stating he had spoke to the freight company and agreed to let them try another delivery on Friday June 14th with the small truck and would help off load the canopy. On June 14th we were notified by the customer he had accepted the delivery but later discovered some lamps inside were dislodged and he could not reset them. We immediately notified the factory and they began work to resolve. The factory spoke to the customer and offered to either have a technician come repair the canopy or to send him a brand new replacement canopy free of charge. However, the factory told us the customer refused both options so we have forwarded him the details to have the canopy shipped back to the factory and returned.

This situation is unfortunate and demonstrates the value in reviewing shipping processes before placing orders as well as email notices that you receive from sellers. We have these details regarding freight shipments posted on our website and also send 2 supplemental emails to buyers that include details on delivery requirements and what to expect. We do this to avoid customer surprise and frustration with freight shipments but unfortunately not every customers reviews the information on the website or in the email communications we provide. If anyone reading this review has any question whatsoever about freight shipments and how they work please reach out to ask as we have successfully helped customers navigate many thousands of different freight shipments and deliveries over the last 10 years.

THE BEST service & delivery

I am the buyer at a spa that does spray tans. The Tanning Store has THE BEST customer service. I'm consistently impressed by them. They ship everything out immediately and they ship it well. We have always received orders before expected and solution has never been spilled or broken. We had an issue with spray tan guns in the past and they rectified it and asked us to send the defective guns to study what went wrong. Can't speak more highly of their team!

I love the quick response that I got

I love the quick response that I got from them. I accidentally ordered the wrong item and realized it on my confirmation number. I Emailed them and they were understanding about it and cancelled my order and ordered the right one for me. I was really pleased with them and my order. I ordered a Acyrlic bench for my sunquest pro16se and it was delivered to me in 2 days. I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks again for your kindness looking forward to making other purchases.

Solar Storm Bench Acrylic

The bench acrylic broke in my wife's Solar Storm tanning bed. I called the local dealer and they couldn't help. I searched online and to be honest, there aren't many options for this product. Most options I found seemed sketchy. I was nervous about spending over $500 on a site I wasn't familiar with. I took a chance on Suntanningstore.com and it paid off. They had it to us by the end of the week. Communication was superb. I knew exactly when it would arrive. The acrylic was a top notch OEM replacement from the factory. Great service.

Over the top customer service!!

I had ordered 8 bulbs, however 2 were broken once they arrived. I promptly messaged them so they were aware of it. They quickly had new bulbs in the mail and they came intact. They kept me up to date thru the whole process! 10/10 highly recommend!!

Fast shipping and great communication!

Some of the best communication I have ever had from a company. My order was shipped quickly and I was informed about my shipment the entire time. My delivery was delayed due to weather and Sun tan store informed me right away.. I will be shopping here again.

What a great experience

What a great experience. I was told by another company I was looking at that shipping would take 6 weeks or more. STS had mine delivered in 10 days! And right before Christmas even! I was super stoked. And then once opened I loved it but the timer board was missing the buttons so they overnighter me one. All good!

I had needed 12 bulbs for my older…strongly suggest this 5 star business

I had needed 12 bulbs for my older tanning bed, to my surprise I found this website and they had them. Arrived within a few days by UPS with one bulb broke. They replaced the bulb and received it in good shape and quickly. Awesome customer service, emailing the order process.

300 W Red Light / NIR Therapy Panel

10 months ago, I purchased the Dermatech DT 300 at this store - mainly for shoulder pain relief. Before using this device, I wasn’t able to lift my arm above my head. Two times a week, I used ibuprofen when the constant throbbing pain felt unbearable. 
After only three 20 minute sessions, I noticed that my pain level had decreased significantly. I continued using this device 3 times a week. It took only 10 sessions until my shoulder pain was gone and my mobility had been restored completely. That is still the case without red light/ NIR therapy 9 months later!

The Dermatech DT 300 is very well built, and yes, I would put it in the category of a medical grade device. According to my own research, the output of the light frequency is on a level that has been used during clinical studies which delivered many beneficial results. For this reason, I decided purchasing the Dermatech DT 300, and I am glad I did, because my shoulder joint is fully functional again without using steroids or undergoing surgery.

At some point, I hope I am able to get the bigger 1500 Watt Panel, so I can treat my body in just one setting to support my overall health as I am aging.

I don’t write reviews very often, but I think it is important to support businesses that provide high quality products and great, honest customer service, especially in the health and wellness sector. I can’t speak about the other products this store has to offer, but their Dermatech DT 300 definitely exceeded my expectations!

Fantastic service!!

Doing business with Amanda at SunTanningstore.com and ProSun was a real pleasure. Everyone was so professional and polite, really top-notch! Great communication! I can highly recommend them all!! I was tough on them. In my search for tanning equipment to place in my guest house I had conducted an extensive search, I had run across multiple scams and companies that were untruthful. Amanda was very truthful with me about the process and when my order would be delivered. She answered any questions I had. Once the order was placed with ProSun I received the same great customer service from them in St Petersburg, Florida. I wasn't dealing with a shipment that needed to come from China. This was all handled in the good ol' USA!! It was shipped in a timely fashion and I received my tanning canopy in less than 2 weeks from when I placed the order. The FedEx freight driver was equally professional and friendly. The Tanning Canopy was packed well for shipping and arrived in great shape. We love it! We needed something lightweight enough, and mobile enough, that it could be carried up a tight 90° staircase into the upstairs of a guest house to be used as a workout area through a long cold winter. We are at 6500' in the forest in Northern Arizona and the winter lasts about 5 months . This was exactly what we needed. I am so happy we made this purchase through SunTanning store and that it is a ProSun product made in St. Petersburg, FL.
