Weight benches are an investment for your home gym, and you should read the warranty information before purchasing the product to see what you are covered for in case of a failure.
Check What the Warranty Actually Covers
Almost all manufacturers split the warranty between the frame and the upholstery. It is therefore essential to check the length of time for which the main part of the bench, i.e. the steel, is covered and compare this with the length of time for which the parts that will wear most, i.e. the padding and vinyl, are covered.
Register Your Product Straight Away
It is often required to register the warranty within a certain time frame (e.g. 30 days), and we advise you to keep your receipt and the packaging of your Flat Weight Bench until you have registered for the warranty.
Know the Common Exclusions
Wear to products caused by normal use, scratches and other damage, are excluded from warranty cover. Additionally, we do not cover faults caused by incorrect assembly of the product, so please follow the instructions contained within the manual.
Understand Your Statutory Rights
A manufacturer’s warranty does not necessarily provide the same protections as your legal rights under UK consumer law. These laws dictate that a product must be supplied for a certain purpose and you have variousstatutory rights should a product be faulty and you seek to return it.
Follow the Returns Process Carefully
Flat Weight Bench is covered in more detail at https://uk.repfitness.com/collections/flat-weight-benches/. As with new purchases, most retailers require you to contact them in writing and obtain a returns authorization number before sending items back.
Just a little bit of upfront effort is required to avoid headaches later down the line.
