Seagull Distribution

About these bad reviews. You can disregard them because Kimber B. is a huge liar and made up this bad review because Jeff turned her into the collection agency for owing $ 1500. for 5 years and still owes $ 1500 today.
Karen D. special ordered the wrong color dishwasher top shelf that could not be returned to the manufacturer and Karen for some odd reason thought she could return it but it was not possible.
None of the problems mentioned were true or caused by the business or Jeff!
Just a couple of crazy people rambling on… and on!

I’ve been doing business with Jeff and Seagull Distribution for almost 10 years now! I have purchased a home water filtration system from him and a drinking water system and a Miele vacuum and now I just bout the «El Natural» latex bed. I keep going back to him because he sells quality products, believes in what he sells and educates me about all things natural. I’m absolutely giddy about the latest bed purchase I just made from him and feel great about supporting a local small business owner such as Jeff Shipper. He’s a character and is so authenticly authentic and passionate about his products with a funny sense of humor too. :)
The drinking water system is the best tasting water I’ve ever had and have recommended him to anyone who needs a system…

I am reporting Seagull Distribution to the Better Business Bureau. I purchased 3 products from them: a Miele vacuum (only lasted 3 years), a whole house water softener system (breaks down every few months– and not currently working) and a whole house water purification system. After being told I could make payments until the purchase price was paid in full– they continued to bill me for the water purification system stating that I was on a ‘rental agreement’ for the purification system– not a purchase plan. Seagull continued to bill and discredit me erroneously on my credit report after I paid in full. I returned the system to Seagull and told them that I already had paid 3x the going price for the same system that was offered at other locations in SD including filter service. Seagull is still to this day charging me for the purification system. When asked for an accounting of my payments– I received an illegible hand written accounting from his bookkeeper that we could not read nor understand.

After a horrific year where asbestos drove me from my home and cost me around $ 100,000 in damages, and black mold in my new place led to a gas mask level cleaning, I realized the importance of taking care of my lungs.
Not only did Jeff have a wide variety of Miele vacuums but he also had the most tested and world renowned air purifier on the market. I have spent more time than anyone I know and anyone I know knows on researching vacuums and air purifiers. The IQAir Plus air purifier, and the Miele Complete C3 Marin with Electro Premium, to my knowledge, is the best way to eliminate all unwanted particles from your life. They are both a little pricey, but when you see the hell that microscopic particles can turn every breath you take into, the price is more than fair.
These 2 products, coupled with my new all wool, no VOC, mattress and bedding, have given me my clean air back. Sadly I do still live in a crummy apartment with carpet that should not be legal to sell, but until I can own a home made of all wood and organic materials, these items are my only co-​pilots in the air full of enemy toxins during this war against healthy lungs.

I have been a long time customer of Jeff, but no longer. In the past we bought a washer and dryer, mattress, water filtration system and vacuum. While Jeff is very energetic and accommodating when he senses a sale, his backend service is less than desired. I have had issues with three of the products I have bought and had to work out solutions on my own. My vacuum hose still doesn’t work correctly and Jeff has not helped. Recently I ordered a stacking unit for my Miele washer and dryer. I ordered it in stainless to match but when it came time to install, the unit was white. Jeff never accepted blame for the incorrect order… he told me most people order the unit in white so he assumed that was what I wanted. He eventually made a swap but charged me an additional $ 80 as he said he had to pay shipping to and from Miele. Additionally, I found out I could have purchased the unit directly from Miele in the first place at less cost.
I normally try to support local small businesses but I will no longer support or recommend Jeff. I just cannot trust him.

This place just came up in a talk thread and I realized I should have Unilocaled them a year ago. If you are still buying bottled water stop! Get yourself a Likerain reverse osmosis system under your sink. The water tastes AMAZING and, it’s way cheaper than and much much more eco friendly than buying bottled. These guys are true professionals and will install it for you with a stylish tap that matches your fixture style. I rent mine. They show up on time and are extremely good at what they do. You will not regret this decision.

Jeff is the real deal. Extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. If you don’t have his water filter system under your sink, you are missing out. So glad a guy like Jeff is here in San Diego!

pros… this place is great, a little hole in the wall but packed with good stuff. he says he carries some of the best products in the world. i was in search of a new vacuum cleaner, and he is one of the few places that actually has sebo and miele vacuums in stock. both are german vacuums, and those germans take their engineering seriously and these vacuums really suck, but in a good way.
he also has a lot of other stuff: water filters, beds, pillows, pots and pans, foot ware and other things besides vacuums. he has two lovely dogs who sleepily lay there and just watch people come in and out. best part is that they provide their own in-​store credit. which is how i bought my new vacuum the sebo. i think i will be going back to get the water filters as well.
cons…a bit disheveled inside but he knows where everything is, which is great. didn’t offer too much on my old vacuum, so i didn’t leave it as a trade in. but still got an awesome vacuum, and he is a authorized dealer for both miele and sebo.

Great service and best price for clean water. When I was having financial problems due to my little girl’s cancer treatment, they worked with me so that I could keep healthy water going in my house for her. She always drinks our water and proclaims, «This water is delicious!». They even brought over a DVD on which they had recorded cancer-​fighting information for me. I (and my daughter, Kimiko) highly recommend them.
