A DAY AFTER my purchase! So I let Gorillasports know that although I would accept the 10% for the damaged item, I didn’t think it was an amazing offer, being essentially the discount from the campaign that I should have had anyway. I knew they had a 10% campaign on orders. In the meantime, read on if you want a little help deciding, whether or not you should risk shopping a Gorillasports. All report the same : lousy customer service and fraud.

In their homeland, Sweden, at a price comparing website, they score 1.6 out of 5, Gorillasports.no gets a Trustpilot score of 2.0 and so on. As for the few pages with predominantly positive reviews, I can only imagine that they’ve worked hard on having negative reviews removed. Eventually, I learned from reviews that quite a lot of people have been scammed by Gorillasports and many have had to report the matter to the police. Instead, it became an unbelievable tale of non existing customer “service”, of lying and trying in every single imaginable way to get away from paying back the discount promised. I chose the discount and so all could have been good. An item was quite damaged and so I was offered to return the order or get a 10% discount. This could easily have been a positive review. The story about how Gorillasports stole my money, like they have stolen so many others'). Don't expect to keep a loyal customer base. After looking at the site in more detail, it is apparent that they have massively inflated their prices, for the same items as seen on competitors sites. (NO MINA IT'S NOT A SEXTOY) Now I have a £60 paper weight, which is useless. To which my partner decided to be nosy and open the parcel. I wasn't home so the delivery man signed for me, and left it by the shed. However I was informed that it was too late as the item had already been dispatched, and that the 'pre-order' ETA was a mistake.

It was a pre-order so stock wasn't expected until 7-10 days after order was made. Why deviate from proven industry standards? Once I realised this mistake I cancelled the order in less than 12 hours after making the initial purchase. This unique size is so they can sell there own propitiery wieght plates at extortionate prices. As you know, there are 2 industry standard sizes 25mm, and 50mm. Firstly I made the mistake of 'pre-ordering' a 31mm barbell from them.
