Shipping & Delivery Information

Free Delivery Damage Insurance Included With Purchase

 Curbside Delivery ships via Freight to the 48 contiguous states. The freight carrier will contact you 24 to 48 hours prior to delivery to set a delivery day and time Monday-Friday, with a 4-hour open window.

      They won’t deliver without speaking to you first. **Shipping times are only approximate, and can change depending on environmental conditions, transit issues, and carrier’s availability. Last minute appointments can occur, and it’s out of our hands since the delivery process is managed by the carrier’s. The sauna will be delivered in 1 box or more, depending on the model. All boxes will be strapped to a pallet. All saunas are delivered in a 53-foot semi-truck with a single driver, who will unload the pallet to your curbside or driveway only. Any delivery questions or issues (remote areas, long driveways, large and low hanging trees, apartment complex, stairs, etc.) should be addressed with us prior to shipping your sauna.

        Once the driver has unloaded the sauna, we ask that you immediately inspect the boxes for any damage. Please indicate any minor scratches, indentations, or scuff marks to the outside of the boxes on the delivery receipt. You do not need to open the boxes to inspect the sauna. The freight company will deliver your sauna to a carport or first-floor entryway. Please check the box dimensions and ensure it will fit through your doorway. Assembly on these saunas are surprisingly easy and can take between 30-45 minutes, depending on the sauna. Assembly instructions are included with the saunas.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Golden Designs specify a 3 person capacity, in an interior of 63" W × 62" D × 82" H. Bench dimensions are not published for this model, so we quote none.
The barn roof is what gives it the height. Golden Designs publish an interior height of 82 inches here, against 75 inches on the Bergen, Drammen and Narvik and 78 inches on the Arlberg and Vorarlberg. Exterior height is 89 inches.
69" W × 68" D × 89" H, with the roof overhang adding 4 inches to the depth. No pad or foundation requirement is stated by the manufacturer. It arrives in 11 boxes at 1,385 lbs, so check the access route as well as the site.
Yes — an 8.0 kW stove with built-in controls is part of the specification, along with the interior ceiling galaxy star colour therapy lighting system, the interior LED control panel with FM station and Bluetooth, built-in performance speakers, and a sandglass, bucket and scoop. Golden Designs name no stove brand for the Savonlinna and say nothing about stones, so we publish neither.
240V / 40 AMP for the stove, and 120V / 15 AMP for the control, lights and music. Golden Designs' own instruction is to consult a certified electrician; Recovery For Athletes recommends the same, with both circuits run and terminated by a licensed electrician.
Golden Designs state an ideal range of 170–185°F for the traditional stove and a maximum of 190°F. The 8.0 kW rating here is the same one they fit to their six-person cabins.
An all-weather exterior with an interior in all natural Canadian red cedar, and a bronze privacy tempered glass door. No exterior species is named by the manufacturer, so none appears here. The model is listed for outdoor use, and their warranty attaches a condition to that: outdoors, a waterproof cover or the sauna's own roof panel must protect the room, and weather damage to an unprotected or badly maintained cabin is excluded. Golden Designs also describe surface cracks and some water seepage as a normal tendency of outdoor application, and say the water usually dries off in the heated environment.
Free curbside delivery from Recovery For Athletes. Everything that happens on the day is Golden Designs' own published shipping term, not ours. The freight carrier telephones you 24 to 48 hours before delivery to agree a day and time, and the delivery itself normally falls inside a 4-hour window. Eleven boxes arrive strapped vertically to a pallet on a 53-foot semi-truck, and Golden Designs state that the single driver will unload the pallet only to your curbside or the end of your driveway. No liftgate is mentioned anywhere in their terms and nothing past the kerb is offered, so at 1,385 lbs arrange help and equipment to move the load to the site. Raise anything unusual about the approach — a long driveway, low branches, stairs, a remote area, an apartment complex — with us before the sauna ships. Golden Designs ask you to inspect the boxes as soon as the driver has unloaded and to mark any scratches, indentations or scuff marks on the delivery receipt; you do not need to open the boxes to do it, and they say to refuse delivery outright if you see a large hole. Their terms set out no damage window after that inspection, so the check at the kerb is the one that counts.
Golden Designs cover the wood structure for 5 years when properly maintained, along with the control panel, its wiring harnesses and the lights, from the original date of purchase. Cover is parts only. The stove is excluded from the Golden Designs warranty — it carries its own manufacturer's warranty, and a stove claim goes to that manufacturer. Outdoor placement is permitted under this document provided a waterproof cover or the sauna's roof panel protects the room, which is a meaningfully better position than the separate warranty covering Golden Designs' infrared range. Full commercial use voids cover, as does transfer of ownership or relocation. Defective parts must be returned to Golden Designs and you pay the return shipping, duties and taxes. Keep your receipt. Recovery For Athletes is an authorized Golden Designs dealer, and full terms are in the Warranty tab.
Golden Designs state that their products are thoughtfully designed and developed at their California headquarters, and describe their Ontario, California site as a distribution facility. They do not state a country of manufacture for this model, so we do not claim one.
