I have been misold and lied too

I have been misold.
I had purchased a work out bench which was delevered with out all the parts to assemble it. 40kg adjustable dumbells with stand. Stand was wrong colour and the wheel broke instantly.
One of the dumbells mechnisim is not working. I was told i would have a replacement, didnt get any notification. It turned out the factory was out of stock and that they would have some back in on the 24th july. I asked to be contacted on the 24th to let me know my replacement would be on the way. Waited 2 weeks and nothing, no email even though i was told i would receive one. Despite being told that a replacment order has been sent to factory...i was lied too and now have to plead with them about a faulty item all over again. I purchased this in april. I would not recommend purchasing anything from this company.

Hi there Tom,

It is Sam here, one of the owners of GymSets.

I am really sorry to hear about the issues encountered with your order, it is not good enough.

Now, i cannot provide insights into the specific details with your order, as i cannot see your order number (If you could please respond to our request regarding information into your order number, i will then make contact about resolving your issue).

What i can confirm is that the issue encountered with your order can be fixed with a few simple steps and i want to explain what will have caused your issue and how we can resolve it.

Due to our previous courier DPD damaging a very high percentage of our parcels (up to 10%) a lot of customers in the past received faulty or defective items. However, after identifying this issue we immediately chose to seize using DPD as a courier and have since moved to Yodel who provide a much higher quality service. Since the move we now have damage rates of less than 0.25%, which is in the extreme high levels of industry standards. This will mean that issues like this will become a rare occurrence in the future.

Now, how we would go about solving the issue with your order. As your items are dysfunctional, it requires 1 of 2 things. Either a replacement part or a full replacement of the item.

If you could provide your order number through the information request we put out on trust pilot i will personally ensure that your issue is resolved in the next 2-3 days via one of the 2 resolutions provided above - which will depend completely on the order specifics.

Regarding your customer service issues. Again 2-3 months ago our customer service response time was not up to scratch. However, since then we have not only hired a much larger and more experienced team, but also improved our internal processes.

This has resulted in all customer service queries being responded to in under 12 hours and all cases being fully closed (from first email to resolution and re-delivery of any problem items) in just 2.7 business days on average.

I look forward to getting your issue resolved and as soon as you provide us with the information regarding your order number. We will get right on resolving the issues that have occurred within your order.

40 KG adjustable dumbbells

Amazing adjustable dumbbells! They arrived on time, were easy to assemble, and the weight-changing mechanism is quick and simple to use. The build quality feels solid and durable, making them perfect for home workouts. Great value for money—I would definitely recommend them.

Tree, Hex dumbbells set

Ordered a tree with Hex dumbbells and a workout bench. Fantastic value but no scrimping on quality. The tree base was faulty, but first class communication and a prompt replacement soon put it right. Would highly recommend buying from Gym Sets, you won’t be disappointed

I ordered a set of 40kg adjustable dumbbells and an adjustable bench. The product came very quickly, within 3 days and it was packaged beautifully and it took 5 minutes to assemble and so far it has been exactly what I was looking for!

TERRIBLE COMPANY AND SERVICE

TERRIBLE COMPANY AND SERVICE
Appalling! Wrong items sent. Never received some items and had to contact PayPal to resolve as after 2 months of them not responding or sorting the issue they admit, I had to go to PayPal for a partial refund.

Borderline scam.

DO NOT ORDER FROM GYMSETS.

Response says there was an information request with the review but I have nothing or any ability to respond. My order number is 99482 and I have lots of emails sent.

Hi there Nicholas,

It is Sam here, the owner of GymSets.

First of all i want to apologise for the issues encountered with your order.

I cannot see the specifics as to what items you have not received or received incorrectly and why this has occurred.

However, i want to give a reason as to why this would has occurred with your order, based on our internal statistics for issues like this.

So, DPD the previous courier we used to ship 95% of our orders placed, have 3 very concerning metrics related to their service with us.

1) Lost in Transit Rate = 7.65%
2) Damaged in Transit Rate = 9.87%
3) Parcel Mismatch Rate = 4.39%

These 3 metrics above, are DPD's statistics of parcels we shipped with them for:
1) % of items sent with them which they lost and we never got back
2) % of parcel sent with them that were damaged upon delivery or returned to sender due to damage.
3) % of parcels which they mixed up and delivered differently to who we intended to send the item to (due to relabelling and routing through the hub incorrectly)

This means that a total of 21.91% of the parcels we sent with them caused delivery issues for our valued customers.

This has resulted in us changing couriers to Yodel which has seen these numbers drop to very healthy %'s compared to industry standards and means issues like what happened to you no longer occur.

Now obviously this does not resolve your issue in anyway shape or form. And therefore if you could please respond to the information request we sent through to this review for your order number. I can then personally look at resolving your issue and can guarantee that it will be fully resolved by the end of the week.

Once again i am sorry for the issues you have encountered and i want to do everything in my power to resolve it for you.

I’ve shopped with this business three times and each experience has been positive. The items are good quality and the prices are very reasonable. The prompt delivery via DPD is great but for the postage price it’s what I’d expect.
