CANNOT recommend - unprofessional customer service, communication and no reliability
This webshop by fitness influencer Linn Lowes offers fitness plans and merchandise. I can only comment on the merchandise. I ordered a matching pair of leggings and sports bra, mainly because of the leggings, since I had been looking for a high quality pair of leggings with pockets. The shipping costs are enormous, even within EU, but I thought this set of active wear would be worth it. Upon delivery, I had to find out, that the leggings run really big, which was not advertised on the website (however, later I found out Linn Lowes talked about this on her instagram, so I wonder why she did not put this information in the webshop, if she was aware of it!?). I wanted to exchange the leggings to a smaller size - but oh boy, the exchange process was such a hassle and managed very unprofessionally. There was no clear process to it, the customer service was impolite and disorganized. Eventually, I had to send the item to a random warehouse in Sweden and had to pay for it myself (which was also very expensive). I was told the exchange would be handled automatically. Well, waiting almost 2 weeks for the delivery of the new leggings, but suddenly I get a paypal notification that part of my payment was returned. So I sent an email to customer service, if there was a mistake maybe, because I wanted an exchange, not a return. I get the answer: oh, no mistake, the item is out of stock. There was no notification what so ever in advance, and on the same day that I get this email, the item is still for sale/in stock on the Athli website. Of course, they only returned the price of the leggings, none of the shipping costs. So basically, now I am left with an overpriced sports bra that I did not want in the first place, but rather only to compliment the pair leggings that I wanted - which you can still order on the site, but are apparently "out of stock" for exchanges. I have never had such a bad and humiliating experience with a webshop. If I had known the practices of this brand, I would have not sent the leggings back, but rather tried to sell it on the second hand market (and saving the money for return shipping costs to Sweden!!) or rather not have bought from this shop in the first place. I CANNOT recommend to shop here at all.
