CAScam website - Stealing photos and copy This company is a scam site. They are a company based in China and stole our own photos as well as those of literally all the sauna manufacturers you can think of. They are shameless about intellectual property rights and do not care about stealing people. They steal your photo, your website copy and uses the content to advertise a copy of the same product at half the price. Meaning that people shopping now come to see and complain they found the same product at half the price. Little do they know they are actually dealing with a scam company. If you're considering buying from them, please think twice. Avoid at all cost.

GBDo Not Buy! We bought our sauna online reading good reviews of the product. When we received the product at our home it came in four weeks later than promised it came in over 50 pieces with no directions, and nothing was labeled. The roof system was not as we ordered. We ordered a composite roof and a shingle roof was delivered, that also leaked water. There was no way to stop the water so we had to put a metal roof on the sauna, which is additional costs. The customer service was terrible; they gave us no directions. They sent us a YouTube video of a different kind of sauna being put together. There were no wiring instructions on any of the heater. Heater was over rated for the control box which blew the panel. This is a terrible product. If we could go back, we would never have used this company and we wouldn’t recommend them to anybody. It’s been a terrible experience and we were completely taken by Smartmak Sauna.

GBI purchased one of their pop up saunas I purchased one of their pop up saunas, which I love, but after 6 months it wouldn't turn on anymore. I sent them an email, and within the hour they responded asking what my issue was, and didn't hesitate to offer to fix it. They mailed me a brand new computer board and "how to" video set up the same day! I use my sauna everyday for health and relaxation purposes. I've had 3 other Saunas and this one is by far one of the best. It heats up quickly, stays at about 132-136. It is comfortable and convenient. Thank you for making it right, and so quickly!

GBi cant begin to explain my appreciation… i cant begin to explain my appreciation for the team at smartmak. i made the mistake of purchasing an outdoor sauna without measuring or even fully consulting with the wife. when i asked for a refund 2 weeks later they didnt hesitate to give it to me. in 2 days the full sale price was refunded. i cant wait to finish the platform and widen the area to accommodate the big setup in the spring. again, thank you smartmak!
Never Suana from James Mak
GBCompany lies and falsely advertises… Company lies and falsely advertises Electrical certifications on Saunas. BEFORE buying, notice their Saunas don't have model numbers (this is important) but under details will FALSELY list all their products are certified example: (CE/ISO9001/SASO/ROHS/ETL etc) . The company appears to operate under multiple online storefronts (examples saunasnet.com & smartmakshop.com etc) however one name shows up in all online reviews, "James Mak" which appears to be fake). I requested via e-mail for ETL certification of the sauna I bought (which stated it was ETL certified). James Mak responded, said my sauna doesn't come with ETL certification, I need to pay $500 more. After days or back and forth emails, they eventually provided an ETL certification from SmartMak -*** BUT the certificate references specific SmartMak Model numbers***. I then asked the important question, what is the Model Number of sauna that I bought, they literally provided a Model number from a portal $100+ sauna (the one buy on amazon that folds up), not the $5,000 red cedar wet sauna. I asked them if that was a mistake, they ignored the question. I spent weeks trying to get resolution, I couldn't tell they were acting in good faith. I reported them to my credit card company and they offered a full refund saying they have other customers that want this sauna (even though it was still in China (4 weeks after I bought it)). It appears smartmakshop.com / saunasnet.com are not SmartMak (the real company), they are resellers who take multiple orders hold money for 2-4 months, then order from SmartMak, and then maybe deliver it to you if you wait long enough. I suggest to hold them accountable and prevent this business practice is to sue and file complaints. They wasted over a month of my time, had almost $5,000 of my money and performed no service. I am buying a like and kind sauna and suing them for the difference, I bought during Black Friday, could have bought similar saunas for the same price, now all the prices are higher. In addition, I am filing complaints with my home state, state of California and with federal agencies. Companies should not be falsely providing uncertified products in the US, this company should not be operating in the United States falsely selling ETL certified saunas across state lines.
