Let down by their courier
Fitshop has an extensive range of fitness items, they have great offers, and ordering is easy.
Only from then on, the experience goes downhill fast.
I ordered an exercise bike on a Friday morning. The website promised same day despatch with orders until 3 pm. The despatch email arrived on Monday evening. Well, not too bad, I thought. Only on Tuesday, I received an email from their courier telling me they had not yet collected the item.
The tracking status did not change since then, and it’s now Friday, one week later. So their promise of a delivery within 3-5 working days has also not been kept.
I contacted customer service. They apologised and promised to inquire about the status of my order. It’s a nice gesture but does not really help. I then told them to cancel the order, to which I have had no response so far.
Selling is not only about selling, it’s about delivering as well, and delivering reliably, within the time frame given. They completely failed in this. I know it’s not originally their fault, but their courier’s – but then, they chose this contractor. And the many negative reviews here mean they do know about this problem. Or at least they should – and switch to another provider.
This was my first and last order with Fitshop.
P.S. Customer support has now cancelled my order. My review still stands, but at least the support was reliable, so Fitshop deserves 3 stars, not 2.
