Awful

Awful
I purchased you dual pulley machine , when I called for delivery I was informed I’d have to wait in 8hrs for the delivery , I explained that would mean me and partner losing almost £800 of income , she said they could leave it safely on my driveway , I explained I’m
Not comfortable a 200cm x 75cm, 140kg £1,500 machine being dumped on my driveway in plain daylight where not only is at risk of theft but with the rain etc at risk of damage so she advised I purchase an AM /PM slot so I did

When I booked the delivery for Friday just passed : 28 November pm , I explained to the lady that the other lady assured me the driver would call me to let me know an hour or so before drop off , she sounded confused by this but unconvincingly added a note to my account

After requesting and being assured the courier would call me when he was on his way , at around 3.25pm I had a call saying the courier was outside but when I checked nobody was there (no vans/ trucks just
My neighbours vehicles) so I told them and two people (I think from TPN and one from Bridgemere) said they’d call the driver and tell them to come back, so I waited and waited and waited 5pm (the last possible
Time of delivery) and nothing, I was then told they could deliver Saturday 8-12, my partner and I waited in and nothing.
I’ve spoke to Zoe from Bridgemere this Moel g who’s been looking into for the past hour and who reassured me she’d call me back to let me know what’s happening today , however im not convinced because the Tpn or whoever they are I’ve called relentlessly for days and nobody picks up and it just says mailbox is full.

My partner and I are self employed so to be in between 9 and 5pm especially for more than 1hr means we have to lose money and won’t get paid: he’s a builder and I’m a personal trainer so if we aren’t working we aren’t getting paid

Then i was assured me my machine would be delivered around 5pm and left somewhere however the driver showed at 1:30pm, when I had no assistance and I was alone , the driver didn’t have a sac truck big enough so I was expected to take it off the truck alone (which is why I needed a later slot as my partner was working and couldn’t afford to lose money as he’s self employed) , thankfully my neighbours were around and the driver helped too which he wasn’t supposed to, otherwise the driver would have to leave as he’s not insured to handle the item and doesn’t have resources to move the item off the truck.
I am appalled at the customer service , I had no updates , I was not contacted by the driver as promised , I’ve had to make so many phone calls and chase the situation since last week.
This has been so inconvenient I cannot even explain.
9hrs I waited for this machine, 9 and then I’m expect to lose money and not get paid for a further 5hrs to wait for a delivery that just shows up on a whim.
The driver informed me he’s asked to call the customer 20m prior to delivery and never does but I was told an hour before .
No tracking information, no updates , no calls, no emails. This is by the worst customer experience I’ve ever had to endure. It’s a shame as the equiptment is fantastic .
I am very disappointed that all they did was say sorry and thank me.
My partner had to leave work early Friday to be here for the delivery and he lost money as he’s self employed .

Reply from Bulldog Gear

Dear Roxy,

Firstly, we’re pleased to hear that you’re happy with the quality of the equipment — that’s always good news.

Thank you as well for taking the time to share such detailed feedback regarding the delivery experience.

To clarify a few key points: deliveries are completed via a third-party courier and are booked as standard all-day slots. This was communicated at the time of booking, and the option to leave the item in a safe place was offered as an alternative. At your request, an AM/PM delivery upgrade was purchased; however, this provides a delivery window rather than a guaranteed time, and does not include a guaranteed pre-delivery call.

While we did request that the courier contact you ahead of arrival, this remains subject to driver availability and route scheduling. Unfortunately, we don’t have direct control over a courier’s real-time operations, including exact arrival times or driver communications — much as we’d like to.

Regarding delivery handling, this service is kerbside only. Drivers are not insured or equipped to move items beyond this point, as outlined in the product specifications and within our Delivery & Collections information.

We regret that the delivery did not meet your expectations and appreciate that this was inconvenient.

Once again, we’re very pleased that you’re satisfied with the equipment itself. Your feedback regarding the courier has been formally raised with our delivery partner for review.

Kind regards,
The Bulldog Gear Team

Out walking with 20k first day! 👍🏻

Bought the 20k weighted vest. Arrived promptly. Great quality. Off out with it the same day & for walks a few days since. Good for bodyweight+ squats & just getting to chin ups. A great purchase to see me through 2026 & beyond with enhanced fitness.

Missing items, bad customer service

Orders over £1600 worth of gym equipment in early November and am still yet to receive the vital missing items to put together my squat racks. Impossible to get through to customer services team via phone and email takes over a week for a reply. Still haven't received my items and it’s now going into Christmas. It’s a shame I’m a fitness business and wanted to buy so much more going forwards from a UK based company.

Top company with well above average support

I ordered a new squat rack and some accessories in the Black Friday sales. Bulldog Gear were let down by the courier who managed to damage the uprights in transit. I reached out to the BG customer service team expecting this to be a real pain to resolve and was blown away by the level of support and professionalism. New replacement uprights were quickly dispatched and the damaged ones collected without hassle. I'm pleased with the rack and other equipment and won't hesitate to buy from these guys in the future. Special thanks to Dan in support who could not have been more helpful.

Outstanding quality

I ordered a load of kit for my garage gym and am blown away by the quality! I had always heard good reviews of Bulldog's kit but they don't do it justice.
To save on costs I went for the "cosmetic seconds" dumbbells and while there are a few imperfections, they still feel solid and look brilliant.

Exceptional customer service and product.

Customer service was exceptional from start to finish. My e-mail queries were answered promptly and the information was accurate.

Not my first Bulldog Gear purchase and certainly not my last. Would highly recommend their products for the quality.

My only slight gripe: the instructions were simple but some of the information needs updating. For example, M12 anchor bolts were recommended but the holes for the bolts were too tight for a M12 bolt.

This is something which is easily rectifiable and doesn't detract from a superb company and line of products.
