Yes. Ella's Bubbles ships its walk-in tubs and walk-in showers nationwide, so a home in West Virginia can receive an Ella tub just like a home in any other state. Every tub is assembled and tested in Chicago before it travels to you by freight, and the cost, tax and timing details for your order are explained in Shipping, Sales Tax, and Pickup for Your Walk-In Tub Order.

Where Your Tub Ships from

Ella's Bubbles is the manufacturer, and every tub is made to order at the company's facility in Chicago. Tubs are not stocked in warehouses or on retail floors around the country, so each one is assembled, jetted and tested in Chicago and then shipped throughout the United States and Canada. That is true whether you order through your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850, and it is why the same tub arrives at a West Virginia address as at any other. For a broader look at the company and its products, see Ella's Bubbles Walk-In Tubs: A General Overview.

Shipping Cost and Sales Tax for a West Virginia Address

  • Cost is based on your zip code. Freight pricing depends on distance and destination, so your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850 works out the shipping cost for your specific delivery zip code. Hard-to-reach and rural mountainous destinations are priced higher than easy-access addresses, so share the exact delivery address when you ask.
  • No Illinois sales tax out of state. Sales tax is added only to orders shipping within Illinois. An order shipping to West Virginia is not charged Illinois sales tax, and any tax that does apply is included in the total your dealer or the team provides.
  • Timing is confirmed per order. Tubs are assembled and tested to order, and total time varies by model, options and stock. The team confirms the current timing for your specific order rather than quoting a general figure.

Seeing a Tub Before You Buy in West Virginia

The only permanent Ella showroom is in Chicago, and the mobile showroom visits homes only between West Palm Beach and Miami, so there is no display unit to visit in West Virginia. Most owners choose their tub from the live video tour from Chicago, the model videos and the spec sheets, as described in Seeing an Ella Tub Near You. The team can also email photos, specifications and diagrams for the models you are considering, or text them to your phone if you prefer, as covered in Getting Ella's Bubbles Tub Information by Email or Text.

What Delivery Day Looks Like

The video on this page follows an Ella Transfer60 from arrival to installation. It shows the crate and packing material coming off, a detailed inspection for shipping damage, and the tub being filled outside and run before it goes into the house so any problem is caught before installation. Your tub may travel by a different route depending on the freight process and your installer, but the inspection steps apply anywhere. Save all packaging material, check for concealed damage with both a visual and an operational check, and report any damage within 48 hours of receipt through ellasbubbles.com/support or (800) 480-6850.
