Purchased a pool in January and spoke to them in March. They said deliveries start in April. Every week we call and they say it is not in yet. Today we asked about a refund and they said, "Sorry, it is past the 14 days". I don't even have a pool to return. Really. I wish they would just give me refund so I can move on.

I bought a 24-foot, round, 52-inch pool from Namco. However, the purchasing process was a little difficult at first because the person that was assisting me was on her first week in her position. She couldn't answer all the questions, and she had trouble explaining things. She had to keep going back and forth to the book and asking other people. Also, I've been having issues with their sales department after the purchase. The installers were awesome though!
Also, I got a a pristine package with the pool but I was never told that I had to pick it up. They gave me my alarm when I made the purchase at their Southington site and that's all they gave me to leave with. So, I thought that's all I needed. They said I'll get everything else upon delivery. As the installers were installing my pool and were almost done, they ask for the sand, the filter hose, and everything else, which I didn't have! I called Namco and I couldn't get through for about 20 minutes. Then, I called customer service and they said they'd call the store for me to have everything waiting. I asked them "why do I have to drive back 45 minutes from where I live when they should've been given to me at the beginning?" I was waiting for a district manager to call me back, which I still haven't heard from and it's been 12 days now.
But since the installers were here, I drove 45 minutes to pick up everything and I drove another 45 minutes to get back in time before they're done. They were able to finish putting up everything. And then, there's one box left. When the installer opened it, he said they can't build my ladder because it was a liability and Namco doesn't allow them to build it and that it's in their clause. I called the store and sent an email to customer service. They responded with my contract and Paragraph B where it's stipulated that I have to build my own. If that's the case, their sales rep should've told me that upfront. But before I knew that part, I asked to bring the ladder back as I don't have time to build it. And then all of a sudden, they told me there's a restocking fee. Nobody told me there was a restocking fee to bring anything back that I didn't like when I only had it less than 30 days from delivery.
So now, I have a ladder in a box which I won't build because I don't feel I should have to build it. I understand the liability issues but I should've been told that upfront. And I should've been told also that I won't be able to take the package home now but I have to come back and pick it up. I went to that place twice during the initial purchase and they didn't tell me all that. And then, finally, I had to go a third time to pick it up. So needless to say, I will never, ever recommend them to any of my friends or family. And I will definitely tell them the experience I had, especially with that Southington location. They were unprofessional. The district manager never called back to try to resolve any issues. The only best part about it was the pool builders, because they were outstanding. But overall, it was a terrible experience.

The store manager Cody went above and beyond during my Sunday visit to Namco. I needed a part to fix a broken filter and he went out of his way to make it happen. I am a dedicated Amazon shopper, but the service, speed and smile I received will keep me coming back to Namco in Manchester for all my pool needs! Thanks Cody for taking the time...

I bought different types of parts and filters from Namco as I’ve known about them for quite a few years. I never had a problem dealing with them. They’ve always been as helpful as possible. I happened to run across their new location and I had to stop in and visit them. Then when I decided to buy another pool, I went to them first. I talked to a couple of other companies at shows, but I went right there at Namco and made my decision there. I liked Namco's salespeople - they’re fantastic and very good. We’re doing our own installation and Namco is very helpful as far as allowing us to do it ourselves. But at the same time, they wanted to make sure that we were satisfied doing it ourselves and because they have a very good team family. It has been a very pleasant experience.

Buyer beware!! They do not stand by their warranty for above ground pools! Even though you purchased it in their store you have to deal with a company in Japan who jacked the price up to replace it! In theory, I will spend MORE for just the shell than I would if I bought a whole new packaged pool! This is ridiculous! I used my pool 3 years, and this is how I'm treated!! I will never buy another thing from this company!

My experience with Namco was excellent. However, I had to cancel the pool because my property blocks up with the town property and I did not have enough room to put the side pool that I wanted to. When they called to schedule the delivery, I told the guy that we weren't going to be getting it and he said, "I'm sorry to hear that." Then, they took it back with no questions asked and everything was good. They were professional, courteous, respectful and accommodating for everything. If I am interested in a hot tub, I am going to go back to them.
Thanks Susan, We're glad everything worked out for you!

I bought pools and a lot of my supplies from Namco before and it's been good. So when I had problems a couple of winters ago, I purchased a pool from them again last year and had it delivered this year.

In 2011 I purchased a pool from Namco. At the time they provided a list of independent installers for me to choose and deal with directly. The pool was destroyed by snow & ice during the 2014-2015 winter. In 2015, I purchased a replacement pool from Namco. I specifically asked for a list of installers.The employee stated that Namco no longer uses outside contractors and that they use their own in-house installers. I was charged $2,050.00 for the installation.
When the installer began the installation, he stated that he was an independent contractor hired by Namco. He asked me if I paid $2,050.00 for the installation. I replied "Yes". He told me that had I contracted directly with him, I would have paid $1,350.00, which is what Namco paid him. The Namco salesperson misrepresented the fact of using in-house installers in order to make an additional $700.00 on the sale. I contacted Namco a number of times with no response. I reported them to the Consumer Protection Division of the NH Attorney General's Office and to the Better Business Bureau. They lie and cheat customers. I recommend that nobody ever purchase a pool or anything else from them.
Updated on 7/6/2016: On April 1, 2016 I received a call from Jeff regarding this review. He seemed genuinely concerned and was going to see what could be done to resolve the issue. He called me back on May 18, 2016 to see if I had heard from anyone from Namco to resolve the issue. I had not. He said he would pursue it further and get back to me in a week or so. I have heard nothing since.

We shopped around a little but once we got helped by Jillian and Tanya we came to realize these managers knew what they were talking about and over a couple of days we talked about everything that had to do with maintaining the pool. It was comforting to know that the Peabody store could service us from A to Z all through the process. As a business owner myself I was very impressed with the work ethic of the girls.

The purchasing process with Namco was extremely easy. I called different vendors that I pulled up online, and Jillian, the Namco representative, called me right back. Unlike the others, she took down my information and said they definitely could find something within my price range, arranged for a time that she would be here with the products available when I had my wife with me, which was a few days later. Some of the other people that I spoke to said "You’re going to have to spend more than 10 grand." They couldn’t even get us in the door. Jillian said they could definitely do something for 10 grand and was able to put some things together for us. She was great. We looked at several pools and jacuzzis, and I ended up spending a few thousand more than our budget because my wife wanted a bigger pool than we originally thought.

The guys from Namco who came and delivered my hot tub were very thorough. Even though it was difficult, they were very good and went above and beyond which I fully appreciate. However, I didn't like the department that handles the finance. First, it was on my husband's card and then it was put on my card. They told the representative, Christopher, everything was fixed and moved everything to my card but they didn't. They then sent us a bill which they should not have since corrections were made before the bill should have ever come out. On top of that, they sent us a late notice twice when it was supposed to have been corrected. It was definitely not cool and my husband was very upset about it. But Christopher stayed on top of things. Namco itself is fine and I'd recommend them to anybody.

I ordered my pool table the day after Thanksgiving. I was told tables were readily available. A week later, I was notified that the table I selected would not likely arrive in time for Christmas. I agreed to substitute another model and finish that the store manager had offered. The delivery still did not occur until December 21st. On top of that, the time frame I was offered was a 4 hour window, between 8 and 12. I was not desiring this, but accepted it. I received a phone call from the driver at 11:15 that they would arrive in an hour. This really rattled me. Four hours is bad enough, but to then go over that is unacceptable. The good part was the delivery crew was professional and the installer did a great job.

My old pool went kablooey in March. Namco had a store in my hometown. I chose them due to familiarity and convenience, and they had a good price on the pool I bought which is one of the year before's models. I purchased a full-sized, 27-foot, above-ground pool plus installation. Purchasing experience was fine. Everybody there was excellent. The only hiccup I had was with the whole installation process.
They had promised the installation before the end of May and it got to about the third week of May or so. When I contacted them, they reached out to the installer in the area and then he called me and said they were way behind on sending out jobs to him. So they were telling the customers the jobs were in the process but the installer said that he wasn't getting the paperwork yet. He won't schedule anything until he gets the paperwork and he couldn't get the installation done before the date Namco had promised. So they switched me to another installer who got the install done and did an excellent job. It sounds like they still have a problem with logistics in their corporate office and that seems to affect the customers a little bit. Overall, the pool is excellent, the product is good and the service from the store was excellent.

I received exceptional support/customer service from Jeff at the Orange Namco store on Nov 26 and 27. Getting a pool cover this late in the season can be difficult.

The cover would normally take a couple days, but Jeff worked out getting me the cover the next day. I buy all my pool supplies from Namco, and receiving customer service like I did from Jeff is the reason why I come back to Namco. When I picked up the cover, Jeff was very pleasant and made sure to walk me through covering the pool.

For installation, I set an appointment for a Monday, stayed home all day from work and they never came. After calling, it was quickly rescheduled but again was inconvenient.

I bought 2 pools and pool products from Namco on and off for 20 years, and my purchasing experience has been good. Nobody’s ever been rude, however they were much more knowledgeable when I first started going there than towards the end. I’ve had big issues trying to get parts for the other pool which I bought recently, where I needed to buy some railings and stuff, so I ended up having to replace it. I got a bit of runaround when I called the headquarters and no straight answers from the sales team, so we finally had to go down and demand our money back for the parts that we had bought. I was disappointed when I tried ordering parts, and a straight answer would’ve been great if they don’t have the parts in stock. That issue was handled really, really, really badly, but other than that episode, everything’s been satisfactory.

We wanted a pool so we purchased a 21-foot pool from Namco. It was great when we got the pool. They're great at flashing and selling the product on you, however, they're horrible at telling you the things that you're going to need. They should be a bit more informative on the whole procedure. Instead of just walking you around the floor and hurrying up to run you to the register to ring it through, they should have a table in the store where you can sit down and have at least a booklet that they can go over with you. Maybe they don't know all the things but they could train them a little bit better.
The same thing with the construction of the pool. We paid to have the estimation done and when the guy gets here, it was another $300. They didn't tell us that it could possibly be more. The same also goes with the items for closing the pool. We went and purchased the chemicals to cover for the pool. They gave us something to see through the liner. It doesn't even look like the eyelet on it would open up enough to put a piece of yarn or string to it. To hold the liner down, you're supposed to get a paracord. They also don't tell you that you need to take the alarm off the side of the wall or you're going to end up working your liner, like what happened to the guy across the street. We also had problems with the ball valves that we purchased. We had to bring them both back a couple of times.
Other than those, we're happy. They had a good installer. The guy, David, had a good crew of people. Anytime we had an issue, they were here immediately. The only other problem we had is the locking ladder gate. It's a horrible and garbage plastic. We're building a deck next year and in another two weeks, so we won't be using that ladder but it's the cheapest product I've ever seen in my life and you pay $600 for it. You can't anchor it down. They want you to drill a hole through the rail to the pool to mount it down. I'm not going to do that. I understand it has to need a code but I think they should get something that has a little bit more quality plastic. I don't want to step on a couple of the rungs of that ladder after putting up the gate. I think it's ready to fall apart and I'm only a 200-some-pound guy. It's not very sturdy at all. But overall, the experience and the quality of the pool is good.

We go to the Orange store many times throughout the year. Some very small purchases and some large. No matter how small or large our purchase was the customer assistance that we ALWAYS receive is outstanding. We even had an issue and Jeff the manager went above and beyond to help us out and was successful!!! It's not that often you can go anywhere anymore and get good service and have such a great staff as well!!

I've been doing business with Namco Pools & Patios for years and have bought three pools from them. They were excellent and did a good job. I work right next door to the store so I knew them and went in there a lot. The manager there was straightforward, honest and helped me out. I had a good relationship with him for years and always buy my chemicals there.

My husband and I bought our pool from Namco this year. We are very satisfied with it & all the help that we received from all the employees there. They have answered all our questions and when the store didn't have what we needed they got it for us. I highly recommend the Orange, CT store.

I went in the store knowing nothing about pools. They helped me find one, explained everything to me. And when something wasn't working out they helped fix the problem. Good store.

Thank you, Namco for making our purchase of a new pool so positive. We went to the store in Orange, CT, and Jeff was the best. He was knowledgeable, flexible, and followed up after the pool was installed. Namco offers financing, professionalism, and guarantee their work. Thanks for a great purchasing experience and awesome summer.

I had a great time with Namco. They came when I wanted them to and they did everything they were supposed to do so we loved it. Jeff was excellent with us and everything went very smoothly.

My husband and I were out $85 for a product we bought at our "local" Namco (pool store), since they would not refund our money, as they were closing that store. We had excellent standing with this company and our receipts, but being that the store was closing (bankruptcy) they would not refund our money. Needless to say, we were VERY upset. Flash forward to last week. We got a call from Jeff, at Namco, who is trying to rectify this situation. I was very impressed that he had reached out to us after so long and is going to compensate us for our troubles. It's public relations like this that restore my faith in companies. Great job, Jeff! I hope this review helps. I look forward to hearing back from you. I can certainly change my star rating on this updated review, when the compensation that we spoke about is received.

What can I say? I have honestly been blown away by the Namco's Customer Service team. Long story short.. We purchased a pool but then decided to move it a few years later. Upon removal, we discovered that all the rails & screws were rusted so bad that we couldn't even remove the screws. This was apparently due to salt water being used in the pool. The pool is a resin top pool and we were under the impression that this meant salt water could be used. Problem was, the screws that came from the manufacturer were not made out of stainless steel, which is still mind boggling to me. Anyways, I contacted Customer Service and they informed me that our pool wasn't warrantied for salt water use so they could not replace. At this point, I needed all new joints, rails, etc... basically everything.
The pool was useless and I could not afford to purchase another. HERE'S where the Customer Service team started to blow me away. They couldn't honor the manufacturer's warranty but as a special courtesy, offered me all the parts I needed at a HUGE discount. During the install, we discovered more parts we needed. I contacted Customer Service via email and as usual they responded within minutes. I had the parts I needed the next day.
To be honest, I have not been too impressed by the personnel working at the actual Namco store locations, but when it comes to their headquarters/Customer Service team I have never experienced better, more understanding people who were not only sympathetic to my personal situation... they sincerely cared! It's sad that in this day & age that personal service is practically dead, and we have come to expect poor or mediocre service from some other person on the other side of an email... which usually takes days or weeks for response. Namco always responded incredibly fast. I am self employed and am a stickler for great customer service. But the incredible service I have continually received from Namco has honestly been the best service I have ever received.
So, in short, if you are considering purchasing from Namco.. rest at ease knowing that they will be there for you if you need help. The things that they have done for me could not/would not have been done by a mom & pop local pool company. They just wouldn't have had the resources. Thank you Namco for helping us get our children back in our pool! You've turned sad faces into happy ones and we could not be more grateful.

I have been going to the Manchester/Buckland location for a lot of years now and I must say the current MGR and Asst MGR plus all your employees are by far the best. Always happy, fun people and just a pleasure to see and deal with. I have watched a lot of MGRs and employees come and go but this crew is by far the "BEST."

I've been using Namco for three years and we get our chemicals from them. Their sales agent was helpful and they do an excellent job in explaining everything and going over the different pumps and filters that were available. However, there was a confusion in the beginning when we were scheduling a claim, but that was because of how our account is set up. We had two accounts where one was in my name and one is in my girlfriend's name, and when we made the overall purchase it was combined between the two. So other than that, everything went great and the installation team did a fine job.

If you are looking for a new pool Namco in Orange, CT is the place to go!!! Managers Jeff and Jimmy are two of the best, most experienced guys we have encountered since buying our Namco pool 2 years ago. This year we experienced two issues and with Jimmy's knowledge of filter motors he saved us a ton of money, and with Jeff's patience and assistance a warranty transaction went quickly and smoothly. These guys know that a pool is a huge investment and they GO OUT OF THEIR WAY to put the customer and Namco's reputation at the forefront of their business. CORPORATE FOLKS IF YOU READ THIS, JEFF AND JIMMY ARE AWESOME EXAMPLES OF A VERY VALUABLE CUSTOMER CENTRIC WORK ETHIC! We look forward to a long relationship with Namco of Orange and will highly recommend them to others!!

We have been looking for a few various broken pieces for our pool filter and being first time renters of a house with a pool, we had no idea what to do or how. Upon arriving at the Orange Namco we were greeted by a very friendly face of sales assistant, Jeff. He made the entire learning experience an easy one. Without his help we probably would have had to close our pool for the season. Very much appreciated.

I have always shopped at various Namco stores and I have recently replaced my pool after it took on winter damage at an excellent price. Jennifer in Southington has been exceptionally helpful and courteous for all our shopping needs. I recommend them to all my friends and family members.

Had terrible trouble with the pool this year, just couldn't get it clean at all. Stopped into Namco and had the good fortune to meet Jeff. He was just the person I needed, gave me good advice and encouraged me to return with any questions or the parts I needed replacing. As it happened I needed a couple of things which Jeff identified and was able to provide. I appreciate his advice and direction, without it I know I would not have been able to change the sand in the filter and put it all back together in working order. He also made himself available by phone and email if I had any further questions or need of help. I'll be back to Namco. If you go ask for Jeff, he's the guy who'll help you solve your pool problems.

Namco is where we always go to keep us cool in the pool over the summer. Jeff always helped us and he is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. My extended family has bought two pools there and we keep coming back every year for the good prices on chemicals and the other yearly supplies. They have a decent selection of patio furniture too, which looks great on our deck!
