Canadian Orders
Orders within Canada receive free shipping nationwide to the freight depot nearest you, usually within an hour's drive. Pickup is easy: the depot loads your crated tub straight into your truck bed or trailer by forklift, and at home two people can roll it into place. Prefer it brought to your property? Curbside delivery for Small and Standard tubs is $350 CAD, or $500 CAD for rural addresses, and you can choose it at checkout.
US Orders
Under the tariffs in effect today, any tariff costs on your order are covered by AlumiTubs, so the price you're quoted is the price you pay. AlumiTubs does not charge US sales tax, and prices are in Canadian dollars, so US buyers pay roughly 30% less at recent exchange rates.
AlumiTubs covers the majority of shipping throughout the US, with a $750 USD flat rate payable at checkout at the time of deposit. Your tub goes to the freight depot nearest you, usually within an hour's drive, where it's loaded straight into your truck bed or trailer by forklift. Curbside delivery to your property adds $350 USD for Small and Standard tubs, or $500 USD in remote areas, and you can choose it at checkout. Shipments to Alaska and Hawaii may incur a fuel surcharge.
Are AlumiTub prices in US or Canadian dollars?
Canadian dollars. Your card is charged in CAD and your bank converts it, so US customers pay approximately 30% less than the figure shown, at recent exchange rates.
Do I pay tariffs, duty or sales tax on an AlumiTub shipped to the US?
Under the tariffs in effect today, any tariff costs on your order are covered by AlumiTubs, so the price you're quoted is the price you pay. AlumiTubs does not charge US buyers sales tax.
How much is shipping to the US?
AlumiTubs covers the majority of shipping throughout the US. A $750 USD flat rate is paid at checkout with your deposit, and shipments to Alaska and Hawaii may incur a fuel surcharge. Tubs ship to the freight depot nearest you, where they're loaded into your truck bed or trailer by forklift. Curbside delivery to your property is $350 USD more for Small and Standard tubs ($500 USD for remote addresses), so $1,100 USD all in for most addresses, and you can choose it at checkout.
What do I need to do for customs?
Nothing before you order. Every US shipment is cleared by our customs broker, and Alumi-tubs Inc is the importer of record, carrying the duties and taxes. Once your ship date is assigned, we'll email you one short registration step with US Customs and walk you through it.
International Orders
AlumiTubs ship worldwide by ocean freight, crated and pre-assembled, from our shop on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. Owners in the UK, France, Italy, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand and Japan already soak in one, and tubs are on their way to Germany and Jersey. AlumiTubs covers most of the freight, wherever you are. For international orders, the freight charge at checkout covers the rest of the trip to a receiving warehouse near your port.
| United Kingdom | $2,000 CAD, Large $2,500 CAD · 20% VAT · about 25 to 30 days |
| Ireland and the European Union | $2,000 CAD, Large $2,500 CAD · your country's VAT · about 25 to 30 days |
| Australia | $2,000 CAD, Large $2,500 CAD · 10% GST · about 55 to 60 days |
| New Zealand | $2,000 CAD, Large $2,500 CAD · 15% GST · about 55 to 60 days |
| Japan | $2,000 CAD, Large $2,500 CAD · 10% consumption tax · about 55 to 60 days |
Freight to the port warehouse, paid at checkout with your deposit: $2,000 CAD for a Small or Standard tub and $2,500 CAD for a Large, to every international destination. Transit times are counted from when your tub leaves Canada. An estimate of your import VAT or GST, customs clearance and port handling is added to your balance.
How an international order works
- Reserve. Pay the $500 CAD deposit and the international freight at checkout.
- Confirm. Before your balance is due, we confirm in writing your estimated import tax and port charges, any home delivery and how your tub reaches you.
- Pay your balance. It's due 30 days before your tub ships and covers the tub, add-ons, any home delivery and the estimate for your import VAT or GST, clearance and port handling. We pay those charges at import, so in most countries nothing is owed when your tub arrives. If the actual charges come in higher, we bill you the difference, and if they come in lower, we refund it.
- Collect. Your tub sails crated on a pallet. When it lands, the receiving warehouse near your port contacts you to collect it with a truck or trailer, and their forklift loads it for you.
What the international freight charge includes
Trucking from our shop to Vancouver, export paperwork and ocean freight in a shared container to the receiving warehouse in your port city, where you collect it. It does not cover delivery to your door. Customs clearance, port handling and import tax are charged at cost when your tub lands, so we estimate them and add them to your balance.
Can my tub be delivered to my home?
In most areas, yes. Home delivery is quoted for your address and confirmed in writing before your balance is due, then added to your balance. In the UK it has typically added $1,500 to $1,700 CAD to the port freight. Delivery is to the curb by truck, so plan how the tub gets from there into place.
Import VAT, GST and duty
Customs charges import VAT or GST on the tub, add-ons and freight. We estimate it at your country's rate and add it to your balance, along with clearance and port handling, then pay the actual charges when customs bills them. If the actual charges come in higher, we bill you the difference, and if they come in lower, we refund it. A few countries don't allow a broker to clear a shipment for a private buyer. If yours is one of them, we tell you before your balance is due, leave the tax off your balance and walk you through clearing it yourself. A statement of Canadian origin travels with every shipment. Under Canada's trade agreements with the UK, the European Union and the CPTPP countries (including Australia, New Zealand and Japan), a Canadian-made AlumiTub carries no customs duty.
UK VAT is 20%, Australian GST 10%, New Zealand GST 15% and Japan's consumption tax 10%. VAT across the European Union runs from 17 to 27% depending on the country.
Collecting your tub
Please collect promptly once you're contacted. Warehouses charge storage after their free period, and storage is the buyer's to pay. Before you leave, look the crate over and photograph it. If anything looks damaged, note it on the paperwork before you sign. That record is what makes a freight claim possible.
Destinations we quote individually
Checkout covers the UK, Ireland and all of Europe, including Switzerland, Norway and Iceland, plus Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Orders to the Middle East and anywhere else not listed are quoted for your address, so email hi@alumitubs.com before you order. Freight at checkout is an estimate, and if final freight comes in higher, the difference is confirmed with you in writing and added to your balance.
The Wood Fired needs no power at all. Electric and Hybrid tubs are built with the electric system adjusted for your region's power supply, so they are ready for your local electrician to connect.
Questions about your country? Email hi@alumitubs.com and we'll answer before you order.
Order Process
To secure our next available production date, reserve your AlumiTub with a $500 CAD (~$360 USD) deposit on the Wood Fired, Hybrid, or Electric hot tub page.
Your deposit holds your place. It doesn't lock your build.
Up to 30 days before your ship date you can change your size, change your heating system, add or remove add-ons, adjust your depth, or change your delivery arrangements. There is no fee for any of it. Once your deposit is placed you'll get your own account, where add-ons, depth and delivery details can be updated yourself at your own pace. Changing your size, your system or your production slot is handled personally, so email us for those.
Your guaranteed shipment date will be confirmed and shown in your account once production scheduling assigns it, along with your pre-arrival guide and remaining balance. We'll send a reminder as your payment date approaches.
AlumiTubs are custom built to order from our Gibsons and Sechelt shops on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. For questions related to production scheduling, email hi@alumitubs.com. Lead times vary by heating system and size.
This is why it's worth reserving before you've decided everything.
The deposit holds your production slot and your current freight pricing. The decisions can follow, and we'll help you make them. Tell us about your site, your climate, your water source, how many people will use it and how often, and whether power is coming later. We will tell you honestly what we would build for you, including when that is less than you were about to order.
Ship dates move out as slots fill, so waiting until every detail is settled usually costs you months rather than money.
The $500 CAD deposit is non-refundable, as it secures production of a custom build. It is not tied to one order: it can be applied to a future order with no expiry, moved to a different model or size, or transferred as a credit to a friend or family member. Full detail is in our refund policy.

Shipping Process
Your AlumiTub arrives built.
Most hot tubs ship flat-packed, because shipping one assembled costs several times more. Yours doesn't. We carry that cost so your first day with it is an hour of setup rather than a weekend of construction.
Depot pickup is easy, and it's how most owners receive their tub. Your AlumiTub ships to the freight depot nearest you, usually within an hour's drive. When you arrive, the depot team loads it straight into your truck bed or trailer by forklift.
Your tub travels crated on a pallet, pre-assembled. Bring a standard truck or trailer and a way to secure the load. No crane, contractor or special equipment is needed at either end, and once uncrated at your property the tub is light enough for two people to roll into place.
| Size | Crated shipping weight | Uncrated tub weight |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 204 kg / 450 lbs | 90 kg / 200 lbs |
| Standard | 250 kg / 551 lbs | 100 kg / 220 lbs |
| Large | 295 kg / 650 lbs | 136 kg / 300 lbs |
Curbside delivery
Prefer it delivered to your door? A liftgate truck brings your tub to the end of your driveway. Curbside is available for Small and Standard tubs and can be chosen at checkout or added later from your account. It never changes your ship date.
| Curbside, most addresses | $350 CAD · $350 USD |
| Curbside, remote areas (listed below) | $500 CAD · $500 USD |
| Curbside, hard-to-reach addresses (listed below) | Custom quote |
| Large tubs | Depot pickup only |
Canadian orders pay in CAD and US orders in USD. US curbside is in addition to the $750 USD freight. In Canada, freight to the depot is free, so curbside is the only delivery charge. At checkout you'll see curbside at the $350 rate; if your address is in a remote area we'll confirm the $500 rate with you before your balance is due.
Remote areas ($500 curbside)
Canada: rural addresses, meaning any postal code with a 0 as its second character (for example V0N or K0A).
US: the Upper Peninsula of Michigan; northern and Downeast Maine; Vermont's Northeast Kingdom; the Adirondacks; the Hamptons, Montauk and the North Fork of Long Island; outer Cape Cod; the Outer Banks; the Florida Keys; Lake Tahoe and far-northern California; Big Sur, the Mendocino coast and Mammoth Lakes; Colorado mountain towns such as Aspen, Vail, Breckenridge, Telluride, Steamboat and Crested Butte; Jackson, Wyoming; Sun Valley, Idaho; Taos, New Mexico; and the Methow Valley, Washington.
Everywhere else on the mainland, curbside is $350. If your remote-area address turns out to be close to a freight terminal, we'll charge the $350 rate. Not sure? Email hi@alumitubs.com and we'll tell you before you order.
Hard-to-reach addresses (custom quote)
Islands and anywhere reached by ferry or barge, such as BC's Gulf Islands, Haida Gwaii and the Central Coast, the San Juan Islands, Catalina, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Block Island, Shelter Island, Fire Island, Maine's islands, Mackinac and Beaver Island, Ocracoke and the offshore Florida Keys; fly-in communities and remote Newfoundland and Labrador; Alaska, Hawaii, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut; and any site a delivery truck can't reach, such as a long or steep private drive. These are quoted individually, even when they're also in a remote area. Depot pickup is always available.

Every AlumiTub is built by hand in our Gibsons and Sechelt shops, using the most durable, timeless materials available, designed since 2001 for heating performance, durability and heat retention.
