Faulty on arrival, then months of silence — and they want me to pay for their mistake

Ordered a Schwinn 800IC. It arrived faulty. I'd already spent hours assembling it and disposing of the packaging before the fault became clear.

What followed was weeks of silence and chasing. When Fitshop finally responded, they agreed to replace the bike — but said I'd have to pay a fee for collection and installation, because I hadn't bought installation with the original order. That isn't how the Consumer Rights Act works: where goods are faulty, the retailer bears the costs of putting it right.

They then offered me 5% off as compensation, and later 10%. The fee they wanted was worth more than the compensation they were offering.

Still unresolved. I'd think carefully before buying anything expensive here — the products may be fine, but find out what happens when one isn't.

Order SORE05607 / ref 53392. Happy to update this review if they put it right.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience has not met your expectations.

We would like to clarify a couple of points, as we feel some aspects of your review do not fully reflect the situation. Once the fault was confirmed, we agreed to provide a replacement in accordance with your statutory consumer rights, including arranging collection of the original product and delivery of the replacement at no cost to you.

The point of disagreement relates to the additional services requested. You asked for an engineer to attend your home to dismantle the existing bike, package it for return, and then assemble and install the replacement. These services are separate, chargeable installation services that were not included with your original purchase. As no installation service was purchased initially, our replacement process is via standard courier collection and delivery. While we are happy to arrange an installation visit if required, this would incur the standard service charge.

As a gesture of goodwill, we also offered compensation for the inconvenience caused, despite the replacement itself being provided free of charge.

We appreciate that this has been a frustrating experience, and we remain committed to resolving the matter. Our customer service team is available to help if you wish to proceed with the replacement or discuss the installation options further.

Kind regards

Appalling service; faulty goods received & not giving a refund.

I brought a Cardiostrong IB50 Incline bike from Fitshop 10th May. It was faulty & whilst the customer service was initially pretty good, it has been appalling since I requested a refund & returned the item. I’ve been waiting 6 weeks for my refund since I first made my request & having to take them to the small claims court to recover my money. Avoid at all costs - disgusting behaviour. I am left with no item & no money.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologise for the delay in processing your refund.

We understand how frustrating this situation must have been, particularly after returning the bike and having to wait longer than expected for the matter to be resolved. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we appreciate your patience while the issue was being addressed.

We're pleased to confirm that your refund has now been processed. While we're glad this has been resolved, we regret that the delays led to such a disappointing experience and that we fell short of your expectations.

Your feedback is important to us, and we will use it to help improve our processes and customer experience going forward.

Kind regards

Nathan reassured me that would be processed and only 1 of the 2 items would be dispatched and order updated for me to receive a partial refund.
I would recommend this firm.

Absolutely outstanding service from the moment we walked in.

We purchased an incline trainer and couldn’t be happier with both the machine and the customer service we received. Lorraine was fantastic she was incredibly patient, took the time to talk us through all of the equipment, and answered every question we had with exceptional knowledge and professionalism. There was never any pressure to buy; instead, she genuinely wanted to make sure we chose the right machine for our needs.

A big thank you also to Leon, the Assistant Manager, who was equally exceptional. His advice on the different machines was invaluable, and his expertise gave us complete confidence that we were making the right investment.

It’s refreshing to receive such knowledgeable, friendly, and honest customer service. The whole experience was first-class, and it’s clear the team genuinely care about their customers. We would highly recommend Fitshop to anyone looking for quality fitness equipment and expert advice.

Thank you, Lorraine and Leon, for making our purchase such an enjoyable experience!
