They took for ever to get my item

They took for ever to get my item. They kept saying next week , next week. I needed the item for my gym. I told them to cancel my order twice. The second time I had to send a nasty email. They said they were going to cancel my item. Turns up 4 weeks after. They never refunded me.

Hey Bill,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.

Unfortunately, as a small business, COVID-19 has had a major impact on us especially when it came to shipping products and receiving updates from suppliers. We are often limited by what information we receive from our suppliers and their third-party couriers.

We understand you have been in direct contact with our managing director, and your order has been fulfilled and delivered.

Please know we take all customer feedback seriously and am currently in the process of streamlining our customer service platform to provide everyone with frequent updates on their orders in future.

We hope we can assist you again with a better experience.

Thanks,
Team District

The District grip - 5 pack

Having had a few weeks to put these grips to good use, I can say that my back training has been taken to another level.
Using these grips, the pulling feels much more natural and you can actually feel your back muscles with each rep, I’ve even felt muscle soreness in new areas of my back.
Highly recommend this set!

Pre order, Covid, Silence - not a great experience

Although I think the company offers a great product line, reasonable prices and some variety to the competition, I have to be honest, I have had a really bad experience and am unlikely to want to buy anything from here in the future.

I understand that many factors to my experience were not within Districtfitness's ability to control, Covid 19 has affected manufacturing, shipping, ports, transportation and staffing levels at stores, which is why I have been patient and not cancelled my order and asked for a refund.

My order was placed in May and still has not arrived and it is now September.

Despite the Covid delays the reasons why my experience has been poor is as follows:

1. Paying full price for the goods on pre order.
2. Absolutely no contact or status reports given unless I contacted first.
3. Given too many false promises

Having to chase up the status of my order after months of silence from the company was very frustrating.

Being told that it would arrive by a certain date, then having that date pass by, then having to make contact after even more silence.... again, very frustrating.

Having the date change by 2- 3 weeks after you were told it would be here months earlier...... you guessed it, VERY FRUSTRATING!

For the record, my product has been in the country for about 2 weeks now and I am no closer to getting it (as of a status check yesterday) than I was when I ordered it.

So to anyone who is thinking of doing a pre-order.... Just consider this, it could be MONTHS before you so much as even hear about your product, you won't be kept updated about it's status, and there will be no rush or compensation in any form to get the product to you or compensate you for the wait and frustration.

And that doesn't even factor in if there is any damage to the product or if it is different to what you ordered in anyway.

If we were in non Covid times, perhaps it would be different but as it stands currently, pretty disappointing experience over all.

Can't go wrong for quality and price

The guys at district fitness were quick to reply and the service just continued to get better. They were flexible with pick up times and disassembled the equipment to fit into my car, bubble wrapped and all.
You can't go wrong for price and quality of their products either!
