Hi, The ordering system worked well. Stock is good. I'm still awaiting delivery however. I assume Covid has something to do with the delay in delivery to Canberra. Kind regards Ross 0414 537 242

Online customer was helpful, and it was one of the only places with dumbbell sets in stock over Covid lockdowns. Communication about the order was good and delivery time reasonable. The dumbell quality is decent, the weights don't loosen as easily as some other sets. But the packaging when it arrived, let's say it had seen better days. The boxes were dirty and torn, exposing the products inside. The products themselves were quite dirty, I'm not sure if it was lubricant, rust or dirt, and they were a little scuffed up. After a good clean everything was fine, but it's not a positive experience receiving new products that don't look new, but rather like they've sat in the corner of the warehouse for a while.

Unfortunately the product had a major manufacturing problem. I was able to rectify this myself by drilling holes through the steel and I was given a partial refund, which was good, but would hope that the quality of the product would have been better up front.

Great product selection and prices however took 2 weeks to dispatch my order. No updates on my order in that 2 weeks but about 10 marketing emails to buy more items.

Product quality is great however my order was shipped to the wrong house and after contacting the customer service team I got one email back and never anything more. Luckily I figured out the house it was delivered to and got my order myself but if I didn’t I never would’ve received it. Don’t think this is their fault and was just a mistake.

Hi Dejan, we can assure you we are doing everything in our power to ensure dispatch and delivery delays are cut down. Unfortunately, these delays are largely out of our control and are a product of major courier companies changing their policies and procedures due to lockdown. Despite this, our warehouse team are working harder than ever to get orders out as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience during these uncertain times we are in. Thankyou.

I'm sorry to hear your experience with delivery times has been less than stellar. I'll be sure to pass this feedback on and work towards improving our service in the future. However, please note, due to Covid-19 this is largely out of our hands. We are doing everything in our power to combat delays, however they are streaming for the most part from our Couriers, not us. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, it's always helpful when we know what customers are experiencing so that we can continue to improve! All the best!

Good range of products and decent prices. Not the greatest communication, and fairly slow delivery (only received part of the order on first drop). Needed repeated prompts via email to get it resolved. I don’t think the company is dodgy, just a bit disorganised.

We ordered 6 dumbbells (3 pairs). They have arrived one dumbbell at a time for the first 3 of 6. The other 3 have been delayed and still haven’t arrived.

Hey Stephen, please get in touch with support ASAP and we can help talk you through this one. Due to Covid, some orders are being split into multiple shipments depending on the item weight and size. This is outlined on your order/shipping confirmation. Rest assured, you'll receive the other parts of your shipment within a few days of each other if the items are in stock. Thanks mate

Bought a pair of 5kg weigh plates but the metal sleeves are poorly finished and rough so I doubt I will ever put them on the bar. Low quality product.

Usually good. First order took 3 months which we were understanding of as all of Sydney had ordered things for the first covid lockdown. The next 2 orders were great. This order had the wrong weights delivered and then the courier for pick up to swap over just turned up with no notice from Gym Direct right on dinner time with a toddler. The correct weights have apparently shipped a few days ago but still haven't arrived.

Hi James, thanks for your feedback. We're sorry you were unhappy with the dispatch timeframe however this was clearly outlined on our website, and your products were dispatched within the written timeframe of 7-12 business days. We promise we are trying as hard as we can to ensure we meet the demands however unfortunately due to Covid-19 restrictions there isn't much we can do about that delay at this point in time. Regarding the weight plates, we can assure you it has nothing to do with products being left in the sun. The grease you noticed is a protective coating placed on all weight plates to ensure they don't erode or become damaged in the shipping process. It is a very standard practice in the fitness equipment industry. If there is anything we can do to assist you further with this please let us know! Gym Direct

Thank you for your recent review of our company, Constantinas. I'm sorry to hear that the delivery service was not up to your expectations. Covid-19 has changed the way our courier partners delivery their items, and the way we dispatch our products and we appreciate your understanding of this. We take customer feedback very seriously and will be sure to pass this on to the appropriate team members. All the best.
