Shipping & Delivery
How long does shipping take? ▼
Clearlight Saunas & Cold Plunges: 7–14 business days (in stock).
Clearlight Accessories & Wellness Devices: 5–10 business days.
Dundalk Saunas: 8–12 weeks (handmade to order).
Other Saunas, Cold Plunges & Tubs: 1–8 weeks.
Everything Else: 1–2 weeks.
All times are estimates and may extend due to carrier delays. Tracking is emailed as soon as your order ships.
How does freight delivery work? ▼
Large items (saunas, cold plunges, hot tubs) ship via LTL freight. The carrier calls to schedule a delivery appointment. Delivery is curbside — you'll need a plan to move it to its final location. You must be present to sign.
Important: Inspect all packages before signing. Note any visible damage on the delivery receipt and take photos immediately. See our shipping policy for full details.
What if my order arrives damaged? ▼
Note the damage on the delivery receipt, take photos, and email them to info@thesaunarepublic.com within 24 hours. We file the claim and ship your replacement. Do not refuse the delivery — accept it and document the damage instead. See our damage claims policy for the full process.
Returns
What's your return policy? ▼
Standard policy (most products): 30-day return window. Item must be unused and in original packaging. Full refund. Customer pays return shipping. All returns require prior authorization.

Shop Pay Installment purchases are final sale regardless of product type. Some products are final sale regardless of payment method — see our full return policy for details.
Why are some products final sale? ▼
Dundalk products are handcrafted to order in Canada — each unit is custom-built specifically for your order. Clearlight saunas, Cold Plunge, Curve Dome, and PEMF Mat are large, specialized wellness equipment that cannot be practically returned once delivered. Consumables and hygiene items (Halo One refills, cleaning capsules, Face Mask) cannot be resold once opened.
All final sale products still receive the full manufacturer warranty and our lifetime support — we're available 7 days a week to help with any issues.
Installation & Setup
Is this easy to assemble myself? ▼
Most products are designed for DIY assembly with basic tools. Pre-built barrel saunas and modular kits typically take 2–4 hours with 2 people. Clearlight infrared saunas use pre-built panels that lock together — most take 30–90 minutes. Our team is available by phone, video call, or email to walk you through any step.
What electrical requirements do I need? ▼
Requirements vary by product. Traditional sauna heaters typically need 240V dedicated circuits (30–60 amp depending on size). Most Clearlight infrared saunas operate on standard 120V household power — larger models require 240V. We recommend consulting a licensed electrician before purchase. Contact us and we'll confirm the exact electrical requirements for any product.
Do I need a professional electrician? ▼
Yes, we strongly recommend it for any product requiring hardwired electrical connections. For safety and to maintain your warranty, have a licensed electrician handle the electrical work.
Payment & Financing
Do you offer financing? ▼
Yes — financing options available. Rates as low as 0% APR for qualified buyers. We partner with Affirm and Shop Pay to offer flexible payment plans. Check your rate at checkout without affecting your credit score.
Shop Pay Installment purchases are final sale — not eligible for returns or refunds.
Can I use my HSA/FSA to pay for this? ▼
Yes. We've partnered with Truemed to allow qualifying customers to use pre-tax HSA/FSA dollars at Sauna Republic. If a product is eligible, you'll see the "Truemed – Pay with HSA/FSA" option at checkout. Qualified customers save ~30% on average.
Our standard return policy applies to HSA/FSA purchases. See our HSA/FSA page for full details.
What payment methods do you accept? ▼
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and bank wire transfers.
