Hi Jason,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us! I am glad you were pleased with the resistance bands! I do admit, an error was made sending 1x instead of the 2x ordered. This was human error on our part, but we did quickly rectify with the other band shipped on a priority delivery service. Thank you again for your order and i do apologise we had that issue in the first place, we are usually on it with that sort of thing! Hopefully we have the opportunity to provide a 5-star experience on a future order for you :)
Thanks again,
Sam.

Where to start?

Honestly,

Don’t know where to start. Customer service is beyond amazing. Couldn’t recommend this company enough, and more specifically Jake for dealing with my multiple orders coming to the Scottish highlands. If you want good quality, amazing customer service and fast shipping, I would recommend anywhere else.

Second to none customer service

Happy with the product but missing two of the caribenas which I believe could’ve been lost in transit as the packaging was delivered damp with holes.
This was rectified immediately and x2 caribenas were sent out the next day.
Again, great products and even better customer service! 10*/10* ☺️

Hi Ronnie,

I do apologise 2x carabiners were missing from your cable attachment set! It does sound like these have fallen out during transit. I have just sent an email across to you, and we have 2x carabiners already on the way to you :)
I look forward to hearing back.
Kind regards,
Sam

Adjustable cable system

Brought the adjustable cable system. Good quality, fair price, excellent delivery and service (had to ring for missing instructions but these were e-mailed immediately). Only one observation is that the Rawl plugs are 14*57mm but 100mm coach bolts supplied. Easily rectified.
