I’m sure this is a great harness for a large breed. My frenchie looked like a horse in it and he could back out any time he wanted. I bought two sizes and kept both because he was growing and I needed something TEMPORARILY.
Response from Joyride HarnessApr 3, 2022
I am sorry you did not fit it a good fit for your Frenchies. Since both straps are adjustable, we've had many fellow Frenchie owners find success with our harness. You can search the breed at our page here to pull up some customer experiences: :)Good luck in finding something that does work for you.

Harness arrived damaged
Harness arrived damaged. The package looked to be pinched and was cut. The he harness was damaged in the same area as the cut. I immediately took photos of the package and the harness, they said I cut it and sorry. The way the front strap attaches is not user friendly. Lesson learned, will go back to buying at a brick and mortar store for my pet supplies, so I know what I am getting and not depending on shipping companies to get it to me undamaged.

Huge disappointment!
Joyride harness is not a great harness. I have had dogs for years and have used several different harnesses. This harness slides down on the side of my dog every single time I use it no matter how tight I make it, and it is the correct size. Very very very disappointing. I thought I would try it after getting hundreds of joyride emails. Waste of money.

Hi Jay, I am sorry you have had this experience. Did you reach out to our team to make them aware of this situation? Please send an email [email protected]. Please include a photo of your harness and what is happening.

Great harness but..........
Great harness, VERY well made but...... The small harness has the same size belly strap and buckle as the extra large. It dug into the armpits of my 13 and 15 pound dog no matter how I adjusted it. They charged me $7.95 to return and I think they are also going to charge me a "restocking fee". It you have a large dog this will work, but if you have a small or medium dog your going to have the same issue I did.
UPDATE: The company was true to their word and gave me a full refund. Like I said, this is a very well made and sturdy harness and now that you have the clip and strap sizes you can make an informed decision about what will be right for your dog.

I am very sorry for your experience Cheryl Pianko. I personally use the harness for my three small dogs. Sizes 15-19 lbs They all wear the size small and do not have this same issue. It sounds like the fit was a little to tight and needed to be adjusted. The straps are not the same. They all adjust to the sizes from XS to XXL its almost impossible to have the same strap sizes. The pictures you sent us show it is all the way to the tightest setting. Maybe a different size could have been purchased and the fit would have been better. I will reach out to our team to see about getting the fees waived for you. I know you said per your original email "Not a dealbreaker" If you want to process a return. Please email us with the tracking number for the return Help@joyrideharness once the return is processed.** And the buckle size does scale and comes in 3 different sizes according to the chart below if needed for reference:
XS: clip is 1.5” with 1” strap
S-M: clip is 2” with 1.5” strap
L-XXL: clip is 2.5” with 2” strap

customer service and initial follow through - poor.
I bought three harnesses on April 12. According to their site, they forwarded the harnesses to their shipper on April 17, and the package was ready for pick-up by the USPS on April 19. By April 22, the package was still waiting to be picked up. I contacted them via chat, as they do not have a functioning customer service number. The customer service rep just sent me a link with the tracking number. I told her that I had that already (I had to ask for it when they sent me an email with it, when the number was not within the email). I told her that it had just been sitting there for a week. She asked for my name and number and said that someone would contact me within 24-48 hours. Well, later that evening, I got a text from the USPS saying that the package was on its way! I got the package on the 24th of April. The harnesses were just thrown in a package that was too small and taped up. You could see the harnesses through the tape. There was a coupon to buy another product, but no instructions. As far as the harnesses, they fit all three dogs, but I will not buy from them again. Now that I see what type of harness they are, I can look elsewhere for a comparable one. It should not take two weeks to send a product 270 miles!
UPDATE (April 29, 2021): Thank you for your response. Yes, I took a picture of the package. You can see the harness straps through the tape. Also, the link said that the order was accepted on the 12th, and sent to your shipping partner on the 17th. On April 19th, the USPS link said it was ready for pickup, but it wasn't until I wrote to you, on April 22nd, that it shipped , and priority. In today's environment, three weeks is a long time. Your site says that it takes 5-7 days to ship, not that it can take two to three weeks to receive. As the package was taped up, it is obvious that someone had the time to tape it up. It was just a shipping bag that was taped up. Also, I told the representative during the chat that I needed the harnesses by April 27th for an outing, and that I had to buy harnesses from another place so that my dogs were ready. She apologized for the delay, so I am unsure as to why you claim that the timing is ok. In any case, I can send you the pictures that I took of the package before I opened it. I also did not see instructions for use or care of the harnesses in the package - something that I would consider normal for a product. Though your harnesses seem well made, I still do not desire to purchase others from you. Most places get products to customers in a more timely manner and with better packaging. Again, thank you for your response.
Update, July 22. I sent them the pictures of the taped up bags at the end of April, April 29, but I never heard from them again. I am not sure if they knew how their shipping partner was sending out their merchandise or not, but now they know. Hopefully, they will remedy the situation.

Hi Janice, I am sorry for the delay. We do not have control of the USPS once we ship the order out. Our shipping partners work together to get the order to you. The order was delivered on 04/24/21. This is a turn around time of 14 business days. This is a great turnaround time due to us being a small team and a small company. Delivery times can take 3 weeks or more depending on our shipping partners and covid procedures that must be followed in our warehouses. The packaging were you able to take a photo of the package? Joyride Harness prides itself on using high-quality materials in manufacturing and shipping. We use a
Heavy Duty Lip & Tape Self Sealing Bag. We do not have the time or manpower to tape up bags.

Promises Made and NOT KEPT
I ordered a harness and a leash. On April 4. It was "shipped" I was notified through email on April 9 with a USPS tracking number. USPS has NOT received the package and today is April 16. You can't CALL them only chat and two days in a row I was told the orders are taking longer to ship and I answered it has already been shipped and I have a tracking number the reply was it will take 5-7 days to ship. It HAS shipped they have no answers. I am going to contact my credit card company
UPDATE: after contacting my credit card company and posting this review my order is now scheduled to arrive in 4 days. Coincidence?? Maybe.....
Response from Joyride HarnessApr 28, 2021
Hi Connie, This is not a coincidence. We are a smaller team and our orders do typically take about 3 weeks to receive including processing and transit time under normal circumstances. We cannot complete with some of the larger guys and with USPS delays and Covid precautions that must be followed within our warehouse, we are seeing an extension on that. We apologize for the delay. And any inconvenience this has caused. We are glad that your order was delivered.

Not the greatest Customer Service
Not particularly happy with the company. Bought a harness at the end of Feb. 2021 for my new dog. The address was incorrect (which was my fault) As soon as I realized that I couldn't change the address with USPS. Emailed the customer service (because you can't physically talk to a human on the phone) They said that they would replace the harness and re-send it out. I had to wait 5-7 business days for them to ship it and then another 5 for it to deliver. 20 business days later (and 5 emails on where my tracking is) and still no harness. Finally demanded a refund after no product had arrived after a month. They did refund me but they never sent out a replacement order, so if I didn't say anything I would have been out $50 and no harness. Gave them a 2 star because I did get my money but really poor customer service. Took them 2-3 days to email reply. Bought a Ruffwear harness instead.

Hi Katy, When a refund is issued we do not send out a replacement. If you would have allowed us to send a replacement we would have. A refund was demanded so we did comply (Katy (2021-03-30 15:19:05)
At this point, I would just like a refund of my order. It has been
over a month and I still haven't received my item). Thank you for considering Joyride Harness. We are happy things worked out for you with another company. We do wish you the best.
