The Ultimate Guide To Buying a Lay-Z-Spa in 2021

Why is it hard to buy a Lay-Z-Spa this year?

Since we launched the first inflatable hot tub over 10 years ago, we’ve seen the popularity of Lay-Z-Spa rise rapidly year on year.

Over the past 18 months, lockdowns and travel restrictions have boosted the popularity of Lay-Z-Spa even further with people wanting to create their own oasis at home.

This combined with the delays in global shipping caused by the pandemic and more recently the Suez Canal blockage, has meant that not only are Lay-Z-Spa’s selling out very quickly but also that some of our deliveries are arriving later in the season than normal.

Is there more Lay-Z-Spa stock arriving?

Yes! We have more stock arriving all the time so keep your eyes peeled. Over the coming days, weeks, and months there is much more stock arriving at retailers and available directly from Lay-Z-Spa.co.uk.

How can I find a Lay-Z-Spa?

  • Sign-up for stock notifications at Lay-Z-Spa.co.uk - we notify everyone in the order that they signed up to make it as fair as possible. We only send out the same number of emails as we have stock available. We have also limited hot tub orders to 1 per person.
  • Follow us on Facebook and Instagram - we regularly post updates when stock becomes available and who from. This will include informing you when retailers get their exclusive models - the ones you can only buy from them.
  • Look in store - many of the well-known retailers we work with are only putting stock in store and not online this year.
  • Look online - some of our smaller lesser-known retailers mainly operate online.
  • Sign-up for stock notifications on StockInformer.co.uk.
How to buy an inflatable hot tub from Lay-Z-Spa.

Why is there no stock of a particular model available directly from Lay-Z-Spa.co.uk at the moment but it is available at a retailer?

When a retailer buys stock from us, it goes directly from our international factory to the retailer and not to our own warehouse. Retailers place orders for stock months and sometimes up to a year in advance of when it arrives.

Why aren’t you pre-selling hot tubs on Lay-Z-Spa.co.uk at the moment?

  • With such significant disruption and delays in shipping at this time, we have decided that it is best if we only sell the stock when it has arrived at our warehouse or is close to arriving. This helps to avoid any disappointment of delays for our customers and also allows our customer service team to focus on supporting existing customers rather than order administration for new sales.
  • The good news is that once stock is available, you won’t have to wait long to receive it from us and any delays should be kept to a minimum.

Why don’t I just buy a Lay-Z-Spa from a Private Seller on eBay or Facebook Marketplace?

  • You are likely to pay a much higher price than you need to.
  • You won’t be covered under our manufacturer’s warranty if you buy from a private seller.
  • You won’t have a right to cancel or return.
  • The seller probably won’t be able to help you if you encounter any issues.
