We purchased three pieces of equipment in 2009 for our clubhouse fitness room. Now in December of 2014 we actually need a few small parts. We were worried that they would not be available after so much time but one email and my parts are in stock and ready to ship. Thank you David and Augustine.

Bad Start, But much better now
I placed my order with Michael on Dec. 29th. The ordering process went smoothly. I was told to expect delivery in 3 weeks. I called 3 weeks later and was told the item was actually on back order from the manufacturer. I wished to cancel my order, and Michael said he'd take care of it. I get a call back stating they would offer an additional $100 off if I would keep the order and wait 3-4 more weeks. I refused and asked for the order to be canceled.
I then received a a series of emails stating my order was now being handled by Augustine, Joanne, Sandy, Nick. After 3-4 days of receiving all these emails, I still had no order cancellation number. I emailed and called again. This time I received an email both from Joanne and Michael that my order has been canceled.
After 7 days I contact the credit card and the charges are still not reversed. I send an email to Michael, Joanne again. This time I receive an email from Steve (Manage) asking Joanne "to process the order ASAP with full refund." 2.5 weeks later and there is still no refund issued.
I have now disputed the charges with the credit card company, and purchased the equipment locally. Stay away from this company, while they appear to be attentive to resolve your issues. It is a bunch of smoke and mirrors to give the customer the run around.
UPDATE: After posting on here, I received a call from Steve. He apologized for the delay, and offered me a substantial discount, and followed through with follow up emails to me, and coordinated with the manufacturer to get the item shipped two me within two weeks.
While I wish things had gone smoothly like this the first time. I understand there can be delays. Hopefully in the future fitnessblowout.com will have better communication to avoid frustration for both sides. I am a satisfied customer now.

Our VP of Sales personally called him last night and explained that the factory had a delay processing his order for which Steve apologized on behalf of the manufacturer. To satisfy our valued customer, Steve offered him a special price reduction which made the him very happy. Another happy ending at FitnessBlowout.com.
