“Very pleased with the promptness of delivery and functionality/quality of the product. However the paintwork was considerably scratched up upon unpacking it from the box which was really disappointing.”

“Um ... interesting that I have received this request before I have received the product. Perhaps you could consider going with a courier who provides a quicker service.”

“I am being sent this review before the item has arrived. I received no updates while the order was processed for more than 12 weeks. The courier has had the item for 2 weeks and when they decide to pick a day for delivery there is no discussion on dates only my options for drop off.”

Hi Nick, thanks for leaving a review. I'm sorry to hear you haven't had a good experience with us so far. I can see one of the Gym Direct staff members is already in contacts with the courier and will be in contact with you shortly regarding the matter. Thanks, Gym Direct

“Item supplied was not as described on the web page nor in the phone call I placed before completing the order. The item was described as an exercise mat but in fact, is a yoga mat. An exercise mat is semi-rigid and a Yoga mat is designed to roll up so that it can be transported easily. Sale person stated the Mat I ordered was unable to be rolled, which is not true.”

“Took over a month to get an in stock item I bought dispatched, and only after I contacted them did it eventually get dispatched. Did get a quick initial reply but heard nothing for over a week until I had to follow up again after they said they'd "look into it". Gave this company the benefit of the doubt after the initial covid rush years ago but it doesn't seem their customer service is much better now.”

“I purchased an Olympic Barbell online via Gym Direct Mar. 14, 2022 and it was delivered Apr. 21, 2022. Almost 6 wks from NSW to WA !... If I hadn't contacted them and their courier company, who knows how long it would've taken to arrive if at all... Wasn't told what caused the hold-up and no apologies either... Product arrived in good condition but way too long waiting for it - Not happy Jan !!”

Hi Mark, We're currently experiencing some dispatch and delivery delays. Recent weather events in QLD and NSW have caused a small backlog of orders. However, rest assured, we're working with our team and courier partners to get orders delivered as fast as possible. Thanks for your patience.

“The product itself is solid and welded very well and works. Not having instructions for assembly was a major problem. The exploded engineering pictures that I had to ask for were wrong. No one was able to video call or provide assistance over the phone. I'm 800 kms away. I eventually ignored the drawings and put it together trusting myself and previous experience assembling these types of units. Anyone new to this would have no hope. All communication was returned via email and although eventually i was provided with something that would have helped earlier it seems too little way too late. What should have taken 1.5 hours ended up taking days. I have what I wanted at a good price. Customer service, of the 6 people i delt with, only 3 were of any help. Once they have your money your basically on your own. As im writing this i reduced the star rating from 3 to 2. Looking back, it really was bad.”

Thank you for your feedback, Michael. We're sorry to hear that the assembly instructions were not helpful, we'll take a look at them and make sure they are clear in future. I'm glad to hear that you found the product itself satisfactory and was able to assemble it yourself - this is always better than needing assistance! We offer live chat support during business hours as well as email replies 9-5, Monday to Friday. If there's anything else, we can do to improve our service please let us know- I appreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts with us.

“Got an email stating that my product is ready for pickup. Arrived at the destination in Taren Point - took the guy 30 minutes to bring the boxes out. If it's not ready to pickup, then don't say it's ready.”

Hi James, We appreciate the review and we are working to have a faster response, time, due to the rain and some small flooding we did had to move some items around in the warehouse, this is the reason for the wait time, we have reduced that wait time and are back to normal conditions. Thank you, have a great day. - Gym Direct.

“Ordered a pair of weight plates that took 3 weeks to be processed and dispatched. The plates arrived after almost 4 weeks greasy, dirty and poorly made compared to other weights I have bought elsewhere. Would not buy again from this seller.”

“If I had known how many weeks I would have had to wait for my simple order (2 dumbbells) from you to be delivered I would never have ordered from you. You charged my credit card on Jan 7 and my order was delivered on Feb 01. Needless to say I will not be recommending your service or using it again.”

“Customer service on the surface seems good but when you have to wait a month for a product to arrive and send multiple follow up emails with vague responses it can get frustrating. I understand Xmas closures but when the warehouse opens on the 10th of Jan I don’t expect to have to wait another 2 weeks for items to be shipped out.”

“I am really disappointed in the communication. I understand supply chain issues, that being said, I have had 3 emails saying that my order is out for delivery or been delivered and I haven’t received the order. Now I am being sent an email asking to review my experience? I am okay waiting for my order, you present a very competitive price which I appreciate. However it is frustrating when I stay home to collect an order or need to call up to ask why it said my order was delivered when it has not been.”

Hi There, Thank you for your great feedback and we are so sorry to hear about the delay in delivery. Upon checking the latest delivery status as of today, your parcel is already at Vic airport at 9:29 am this morning and due for delivery. Apologies for the inconvenience as the delivery delay was caused by massive shorage staffs from our contract courier company due to covid impact. Please do let us know if there is anything I could assist any further with. Kind Regards Gym Direct
