Hi Aram, our current dispatch delay is between 5-7 business days - as outlined very clearly on our website. We apologize for the inconvenience.

“My item has not arrived yet. I have tried reaching out to your company multiple times but have not had a response yet. Legit thinking this is a scam.”

Hey Matthew, we take matters like this one very seriously and are super sorry to hear that you haven't had a good experience. From what I can see in our system, our sales coordinator Chris has responded to your emails regarding the order delay? Please note, this delay was a courier delay and had nothing to do with dispatch or Gym Direct. Once an item has been shipped, it is largely out of our hands but I can see that Chris also reached out to the courier service to find out why there was a delay in delivery. Please keep an eye on your tracking data as instructed and you will be kept in the loop with as to where your order is, direct with the courier! Thanks mate.

“Shipping took almost 2 weeks when the store is 15 minutes away. Sent me a wrong plate, didn’t offer to replace it with a cast iron equivalent or a different set until the replacement comes. Offered to replace them with cheaper, lighter plates essentially ripping me off. Customer service was pleasant but disorganised”

“I haven't received anything yet”

Helpful Report

Hi Chris, the invitation to leave a review is sent automatically, after a set amount of time after purchase. In your case it sent before your items had been delivered and we apologise for this! This is something we will address to ensure it doesn't happen in future. Thankyou!

“Still have not received my order from 3 weeks ago- shocking said 5-7 days”

Helpful Report

Hi Ashley, we resolved this issue for you on the 20th of August. Your order was placed on the 9th of August therefore the wait was 11 days. We realize that this was longer than the listed delay timeframe but unfortunately with some orders these things happen. We deeply apologise for your experience and hope your next one is much better!

“I will not be ordering from you again. I got my order of 4 15 kilo plates nearly one whole month after ordering. Two weeks ago I ordered 2 20 kilo plates, and still nothing. I was told it was to be delivered on the 18th of august. It is now the 28th and still nothing. I’ve been training for an extended period of time and you have left a very sour taste in my mouth. Although your prices may be cheap, your service is incredibly deceiving and will certainly let everyone I know from the fitness industry, NOT to order from you”

“Ordered a standard weight bar. Received it but it has poor quality knurling and provides poor grip. Gym Direct cared little and offered $10 off. I don't want $10. I want a good quality bar. Avoid.”

Thank you for taking the time to review our product, Peter. I appreciate that you took the time to provide feedback and am sorry for your disappointment with your purchase. I'm sorry that we were unable to meet your expectations in this instance and will be sure to pass on this information to our Quality Assurance team as well as any other departments who may be able to help rectify this issue. For the most part, the barbell you purchased featured knurling standard to that bar from the manufacturer, and based on the images sent - was not a defect. Unfortunately due to that reason we are unable to offer anything else in terms of replacement and/or a gift voucher. If there is anything else we can do, please don't hesitate to reach out!

“Product was different to the picture, and I only could see the cost of postage after “selecting” the only postage option which confirmed payment.”

Hi there, we are unsure of what exactly went wrong in this instance and how we can be of assistance. We do not have an order number, name or contact details therefore have our hands tied at this point. The shipping calculator is present on every product page and does not require you to make a purchase before determining shipping cost. If you provide more details or give us a call we can clear this up quickly for you. Thanks.

“Well, it took four phone calls to staff that were noncommittal and uninformative, telling me that 'we will get back to you within 24 hours' ( which they didn't) as well as 3 emails before I actually receive my delivery 3 months after my online order was processed... In the end I requested a refund if delivery couldn't be done ASAP...Very disappointed to say the least....”

“My order has yet to be delivered. Ordered 14/02 and now 02/03 and order has not been completely delivered as promised by 18/02. Very disappointing. Part of my order has been travelling on courtier between Vic and NSW on 4 occasions so far and has still not been delivered to me.”

“I was really unhappy with the service I was provided and the time and energy it took to complete an order. I had a $60 voucher I wanted to redeem with a code yet it took my sister-in-law (the person who boughtme the voucher) calling the gym direct office to verify that yes, she did in fact buy it for me before they would complete my order. They then refused to give me the $20 off (first order promo) as I was told that the voucher was being used as a special code and not the currency that it represented. I then made the choice to pick up my item from the Taren Point Warehouse (again, only given the pick up time option of 3:30 which for 99% of professionals, isnt feasable at all, seems like they really wanted to charge me shipping) only to recieve an email from the freight company that it was being delivered without my knowledge. I didn't mind it being delivered for free, but even when I called Gym Direct asking if it was being delivered they assued me that no I had to still pick up the item. I highly doubt I will be purchasing any other products from Gym Direct in the future. I am not one to every be upset or complain, especially with the year we have had however I was spoken to like I was a bit of a fool and that there was only one way to do anything. It's a shame as Gym Direct have always had great products and been reliable but this 3 week process has really put me off.”

“I went to your warehouse to purchase my weights initially, I was rudely told you need to make an appointment. Nowhere on your mobile site is that clearly stated, it’s not until you go to pay for something that you’re notified. So I gave you a 2nd chance and ordered online, your delivery service is incredibly slow, it took over a week for you to process my order and have it delivered to Padstow Heights. I also unsubscribed from your mailing list and yet here you’re emailing me again?”
