Contacted them for some customized business bottled waters… had all my questions answered, received an estimate on the spot and they even did a mock up of our labels all in a timely manner. Great customer services and impressive product! They made everything so convenient and easy for us.

I use them for monthly water delivery at my business and they do a fantastic job. No complaints. I did price shop when I picked them and they had the lowest prices I could find.

My work uses them. I am usually the one to communicate with them and I have never had any issues. They are very prompt, discreet (quick in and out), and just great to work with!

Consistently good product and service. Have been a customer for 12 years and enjoy how they can customize labeling on the products to support local causes and organizations.

They deliver our water weekly/bi-weekly and we've never had any issues. Can always expect great customer service!

Great service for years! Will continue to use them!

Not all bottled water is the same. If you want the best quality there is no better bottled water than paradise! We test water for Homes on a regular basis at our company and they are by far the best bottled quality, very consistent and best customer service.

Stopped to find out about the cost of their water plus delivery. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Love the paradise bottled water! ... Very good tasting water!!
