The delivery was fast and efficient. If I emailed the company about anything, they were quick to respond. The product I purchased is good quality and easy to assemble and put up.

No movement on my order and no status comms. I only learnt after I paid that the gear comes from a Germany and may be in more than one shipment. I have no idea when I will get it

Not received

I have been asked by Gorilla Sports UK to leave a review, however I am yet to receive my order which was placed on 29th December, or any response to my follow up email.
The money was taken from my account weeks ago, which included approximately £10 for delivery, but I haven't heard anything since my confirmation email except for the email asking me to write a review and have not received what I ordered.

The communication was not clear

The communication was not clear. Bought something for quick delivery..... 10 days ago and now still no sign of delivery. Received an email talking about Brexit and that stuff will only come in batches.... Brexit has happened quite a while ago. I would expect that you know your logistics a bit better

Dear Davide, we are very sorry to hear you have not received your order. Unfortunately we are still affected from the Brexit since regulations change(d) multiple times. In the webshop the delivery time is 7-14 days and we're pointing out that delays can happen. You will receive another email regarding your order shortly to solve this!

Very fast delivery.

I ordered a jumping rope and it literally arrived 2 days later. While buying it I select the free shipping option. It said that it will be 9-15 business days. The package was very small so there was practically no waste.

Very good!

Ordered over a month ago and still yet to be delivered. I have contacted customer support twice and while they were quick to respond, little to no information was given. Both times I was informed delivery is still in customs, despite asking both times they have still not given me an estimated delivery date.

No warning was given that deliveries would take this long when ordering. Won't be using service again.

Dear Ailsa, we are very sorry you haven't received your order yet and are not pleased with our customer service. We can totally understand that you're upset! Unfortunately delays are normal at the moment but of course this is not an excuse that you were given no information.

Awful company

Shocking company. Didn't receive the weight bench until weeks after purchase. Wanted to return due to the substantial wait, cost for me to return would be £115 for the courier. They informed me of reasonably local drop off point (35 miles away) Decided to drive over to drop off and save myself the £115. Arrived at the depot to be told they do not accept parcels from Gorilla Sports as they never collect them and end up stuck in their warehouse. Wasted journey. Emailed to ask for an alternative address, they provided one miles away, with no option but to use a courier. Now stuck with a weight bench that I can't get rid of.

Back to square one it would seem

I am so frustrated. Been trying to cancel an order placed in error since yesterday. Cannot raise anyone via phone, email, Twitter or Facebook. Just dreadful.

Updated. Whilst the first email I sent was shortly before 5pm, I did also contact you the next day via various sources during business hours and I am glad to say that we sorted it in the end. Thank you.

Update 19 January: arrgh: I’ve received an email saying that the order I cancelled over a month ago cannot be stopped despite the assurance below from Gorilla Sports that it had been stopped. I really could do without this! Not impressed.

Hi Michelle, we are very sorry you haven't received a reply in time. However your email was received outside our business hours. As communicated this is solved and we were able to stop the shipment and issued a refund right after we got your messages.
