Hours Of Operation & Ordering

Horizonparts.com is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week for your ordering convenience. Immediately after the completion and submission of your web order, we will send you an email order acknowledgement outlining what we will send you, when and how we will ship it. Later, when the order actually ships and is transferred to a carrier, we will send you an invoice with the order information, any shipping charges fees, and carrier tracking number.

Technical Sales Desk hours are 6:00am to 5:00pm (Arizona Time), Monday through Friday. Please note that we do not observe Daylight Savings Time. There are many ways to place your order with us apart from using the vast resources of our websites. You may call 1-800-874-7727 and work directly with one of our professional sales associates, or you may fax your order to 1-800-234-7894 24 hours a day. You may also e-mail your order to orders@horizonparts.com.

In stock orders made on a business day, prior to 2:00 pm (Selected Warehouse's Local Time) will be shipped that day. Stock orders made after 2:00 pm or on a non-business day, will be shipped on the next business day. Backorders will be shipped when available.

Some situations may prevent speedy processing of your order after it is placed and will require contact with our team before shipment takes place. Examples of this are expired or incorrect credit card numbers, improper address information, etc.

Check By Fax

Check By Fax is a simple, easy way to keep your records correct and up to date. Here is an outline of how it works:

  • Your business places an order.
  • After the order is placed, accounting verifies the history on the account, and looks for any prior invoices still awaiting payment.
  • After accounting approves the release of the order it is shipped, minus any back orders of course.
  • The following day, you will be faxed your invoice.
  • Check By Fax terms require you to remit payment (as outlined below) within twenty-four hours of receiving the faxed invoice copy.

We ask when you receive the invoice, please tape your signed check for the amount in the middle of the invoice and then FAX it back to us at (520) 295-9519. This will help us apply your payment to the correct invoice. If you are paying multiple invoices, please tape the check to one of the invoices, and in the memo field or on a cover letter, provide any additional invoice numbers you are paying.

Check By Fax invoices are due and payable upon receipt. If the terms are not upheld, your account may be at risk to be placed on hold.

Please be advised that this term is not considered an extension of credit. If you would like to apply for Net 30 terms with Horizon Spa and Pool Parts, please go to this page.

If you have any questions or concerns about your account, we encourage you to contact Horizon Spa and Pool Parts so any one in the accounting office can explain in more detail.

Shipping

Free and Flat Rate Shipping is available on qualified orders

• FREE FedEx Ground shipping on all orders over $699.99 within the 48 Contiguous States
• $10 FLAT RATE FedEx Ground shipping on orders from $500.00 to $699.99 within the 48 Contiguous States

Free ground freight is only available if the shipment goes by FedEx Ground. Due to the physical size, weight, or concern for damage if the items are shipped in standard packaging, Horizon Spa and Pool Parts, Inc. reserves the right to ship the order by common carrier without free freight. If eligible for Free Freight and you choose not to take advantage of the free ground freight option, the regular shipping program charges will apply.

All shipments are F.O.B. from our location.

If you choose COD as a payment option, the carrier's service fees (currently $20.00 per box), will be added to the total freight charge. Since COD represents the most expensive method of payment, you are strongly urged to consider other methods such as Check by Fax (Please see details here).

Only FedEx air shipments have guaranteed delivery schedules. Shipments may at times be delivered late due to exceptions beyond the carrier's control such as inclement weather, no access to delivery location, and so on. In these cases, freight will not be refunded by the carrier or by Horizon. If a package is delivered late due to mistakes made by the carrier, you may request the freight amount be refunded to you. Service and handling fees will not be refundable in any case.

Loss and Damage

Damage to product or packaging must be reported within five days of receipt of shipment to Horizon Customer Service at 1-888-409-0006.

Horizon does not take any responsibility for orders shipped through the US Postal Service.

All shipments become the property of the dealer once picked up by the carrier. Damage to product or packaging must be reported within five days of receipt of shipment to Horizon's Customer Service Hotline at 1-888-409-0006. If a shipment is damaged, we strongly recommend documenting this fact at the time of receipt with digital photography so that Horizon may effectively advocate on your behalf with the carrier.

Counter Sales

Horizon Spa & Pool Parts, Inc. is a pool and spa parts distributor catering to the repair parts and equipment needs of service, repair, construction, and retail companies nationwide since 1992. We maintain warehouses in Tucson and Memphis and our professional staff conducts over 99.5% of our business over the phone, e-mail, or the Internet. Each workstation is set up to give our sales professionals instant access to information on all issues relevant to the field technician and is designed to allow us to partner with you, making your time in the field as efficient and profitable as possible. Thousands of dealers have taken advantage of this partnership and it has worked for them, no matter where in the world they are located. They have come to equate Horizon with great service, accurate information, and the parts they need.

For many years, Horizon has offered counter sales, which gave our local Tucson Metro Area dealers the chance to come in and go through the parts troubleshooting, ordering, and pickup process here at our facility. As we have embraced major technological advances, we have come to realize that we have not been able to continue giving the same kinds of product and technical support at the Will Call sales counter as we can over the phone, e-mail, and Internet. Counter sales do tend to be more resource intensive for both of us and we would like to help you be as productive and profitable as possible while at the job site - this means being in touch with you by phone, email, and the Internet. Let's look at some ways that we can help you, a local Tucson Metro Area dealer, maximize your field repair efforts:

  • NEXT DAY FREE SHIPPING throughout the Tucson and Memphis Metropolitan areas. When you order your parts by 2:00pm, you will have your parts delivered to you the NEXT BUSINESS DAY, whether it is at your office or your job site.
  • A PHONE CALL FROM THE JOB SITE will put you in touch with one of the finest technical sales teams ever assembled in the pool and spa industry. Our Technical Sales team can be reached at 800-874-7727 and our Technical Services team can be reached at 866-601-7404. Both teams are available M-F 6am-5pm (Arizona Time) and will be happy to answer your technical questions, verify inventory, and reserve your parts for FREE NEXT DAY DELIVERY to your place of business or to your job site.
  • DO YOU NEED A PART MATCHED? Take one or several photos of your repair situation with your camera phone and transmit to us via email to matchparts@horizonparts.com. Then call us from that job site and discuss the photos you sent. We will advise you on identity, price, stock status, and any needed installation information. This can be done very quickly as you will be able to remain at the job site, you can be much more responsive to your customer, and you can bill for a higher percentage of your time.
  • TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR WEB SITES! We have the industry's most advanced websites packed with information relevant to your repair situation. You can access this resource from your field laptop, tablet, or your cell phone. Take advantage of our comprehensive Technical Library, view real time pricing and stock information, and even place your order for FREE NEXT DAY DELIVERY to your office or job site. This resource is yours to use 24hrs a day and you don't even have to leave your customer's back yard!

WILL CALL IS ONLY AVAILABLE FROM OUR TUCSON WAREHOUSE

WHAT IF I NEED A PART TODAY? Not a problem! Sometimes things happen and you have to get a customer up and running today. Call us from the job site immediately, and discuss your situation with our technical sales team. They will prepare your order and will have it ready for you within 1-2 hours after you call. Then come to us, pick up your order, and be back on your way to your customer. Since our order processing system is necessarily geared towards Internet and phone sales, you may find that it may be slower at the Will Call Counter than the point of sale methods used in the past. So, if you need changes made to your order while at the Will Call Counter, please understand that it may take an hour to process those changes. Of course, we will do our best to make it faster, and we hope that you will understand and that you will do as much to take advantage of our phone and web resources as possible.

Will Call Hours are 8:00am to 4:00pm Monday through Friday. WILL CALL IS ONLY AVAILABLE FROM OUR TUCSON WAREHOUSE

Customers that wish to use credit cards can manage them during checkout. Card information is stored in an electronic vault approved by the credit card processor.
