Prompt delivery, good quality

I ordered a pair of plates and a slam ball- both arrived within a day or two (even though this was the Christmas period). Both items were well packaged, good quality and as described.

As a bonus, they were cheaper than other stores!

Excellent Customer Service

Didn't send part of my order but responded within minutes to my email which I sent after 6pm on a Saturday. Missing items arrived promptly and am very happy with the quality.

One of the easiest reviews to write

One of the easiest reviews to write.

I've bought from Norther a couple of times myself, but mostly recommended clients to buy from them. My clients generally look for quality and back up service when choosing products added to that commercial quality is also something I ask all clients to try to buy into. Home gear isn't really good enough quality in my opinion and wouldn't satisfy my insurance either. I'm a PT btw.
So with that said, if you want decent equipment, of exceptional equality and many, many times cheaper than Amazon but 100x the quality. Northern is a no brainer.....added they are extremely helpful on the phone and email routes. I think it's easy to tell this company is set up by gym people who know what gym builders need and want. If you've gotten this far give this review a thumbs up and have a look at the lad at Northern offer. Thank me later.

Wouldn't hesitate to order from again

Website is good
Prices are competitive.
Delivery is a little slow and not great Comms on when the goods will arrive.
2x weights damaged in transit but that's the courier's fault- I have sprayed the weights with clear lacquer and no issues going forward, the rest of the shipment was fine.
Wouldn't hesitate to order from again .

Will definitely use again!

From start to finish this company was a pleasure to deal with! Helped to answer a question I had before ordering, which they replied to almost immediately and the quality of the plate weights are amazing!

Very happy and will certainly be ordering from you again soon :) thank you!

Poor and costly experience

There has been a real lack of customer service since I first place the order, I have had to chase for any kind of updates all week,

Then today after a completely failed delivery day when I waited in all day, I have after chasing just been informed that they will not be delivering today at all.

Compounded by them telling me to cancel the order I need to cover the original £35 delivery fee + £35 return fee … when I have done nothing wrong, it’s basically costing me £70 just to have my day wasted

They advertise on their website as having real hassle free delivery and returns - I think we have a different opinion on what hassle free is.

I was attracted by their boast of 5 star trust pilot rating - but I can’t say that this has been a good experience and after years of using the larger fitness vendors who provide tracking numbers, automatic updates and have good costumer service, I feel that it’s a costly lesson learned.

Hi Dan

While disappointed to receive this review, I can't say I'm surprised given our email conversation.

For good order here's a summary of what happened:

You placed your order and I reached out to book in a pallet delivery for today (Friday).

You emailed for updates a couple of times in between which I answered, although in fairness it could have been preemptive rather than reactive, so feedback taken on board.

The pallet was due for delivery today, and as far as we knew given we'd booked it in and heard no different, it was due to arrive today.

You emailed this afternoon to say you hadn't heard anything and when I checked with the pallet company, they emailed to say they had a system error and it would be delivered on Monday instead.

Undoubtedly annoying and I have provided feedback to the pallet company. I offered something as an apology, perhaps an extra discount or product which you declined.

You asked to cancel the order which I said I was happy to arrange, however the pallet company service is outside of our control, and although delayed, they are still going to arrive with you, so in this instance we can't refund the fee as we've really done nothing wrong, it is entirely with the pallet company.

I offer you my sincere apologies, as I know its frustrating, but we've done everything we can in good faith.
