    ...the right way!

I ordered a refurbed "like new" Lifetime Fitness treadmill from this online fitness retailer.  I should have known I was going to get a heap of garbage when my sales guy Nathan assured me it would be delivered within 2 weeks, only to have the delivery company not show up twice!  It took 2 months just to get it to my house. That was just the beginning.

When they finally showed up to deliver the LIFETIME FITNESS treadmill, they delivered a treadmill with a plug attached to it that was being held together with duct tape!  The cord had been previously severed completely. There were also bolts missing and pads missing off the feet of it. 

I sent countless emails and left numerous messages for Nathan my sales gut but he NEVER returned any of them.  My credit card was charged on the 8th of September...it's now November 15 and I still don't have a working treadmill (and I'm out $4500). 

This has been the most frustrating purchase experience of my life and I strongly, strongly suggest you steer clear of efitology.com and their hollow commitment to customer service!!!!!!!!

#1 Owner of Company

False Allegation - Third Pary Evidence Available

AUTHOR: efitology - Marina Del Rey (United States of America)

Greg Sher from Brewer House Road, Rockville, Maryland purchased a re manufactured treadmill from us. Below is the sequence of events highlighting all efforts by our company to service the sale.



1)     
Called to clarify the differences between the
Life Fitness remanufactured 95Ti and 97Ti. The Order was placed on September 9th
by Gregory Sher.(PO Available on request)



2)     
His  order
# 103625461 was shipped out on September 11th the delivery company
was Home Direct USA and the tracking # ZL0222 (Evidence available)



3)     
On September 23rd Home Direct USA
called customer to schedule delivery. On September 24th and 25th
Home Direct called and left messages for customer.



4)     
Finally a delivery date was scheduled for
October 1st



5)     
Upon delivery the treadmill could not fit
through customer’s door
even though customer was informed about size of treadmill and crew was not prepared for that.



6)     
The earliest delivery was set up for October 6th
per Greg’s request.



7)     
On October 6th Home Direct went out
to complete the delivery and Greg was not home to accept delivery.



8)     
The next delivery was set up for October 8th
and Greg was not available again.



9)     
On October 12th 13th and
15th Home Direct left messages for Greg who did not respond again.



10) Our company paid for all the service fees required
since Greg was not available
to accept the delivery when scheduled.



11)  
October 23rd was the next scheduled
delivery and Greg accepted delivery. Upon delivery the power-cord was tethered
and Greg call us to complain.



12)  
Deliver Link from Home Direct USA http://www.homedirectusa.com/hdusa/Search4Scheduled.do



13)  
On Friday October 30th at 2:57pm
(PST) I got a call from Greg Sher notifying me (Nathan) that
the   power-cord was tethered. I (Nathan)
requested he send me a picture which Greg did immediately.



14)  
On November 2nd 9:02am (PST) I
(Nathan) contacted the supplier and requested a new power-cord. The power-cord
was shipped out on Nov 3rd via UPS tracking #1Zf8X0090391683217



15)  
I Nathan emailed this information to Greg
(attach the link)



16)  
Greg received the power-cord on November 10th



17)  
The problem was the outlet that Greg installed.
The treadmill requires a 120V 20amp dedicated line that Greg did.



18)  
What he did not have his electrician do was to
have the plug be a NEMA outlet
.  I Nathan
told Greg about his concern when he 1st called me to get information
on the treadmills.



19)  
Greg called me on Friday November 13th
when he was at Home Depot and could not find the plug. I talked to the
assistant there who did not understand the type of adaptor to get Greg since
the outlet was not correctly set up.



20)  
I Nathan told Greg that I would mail out the
correct adaptor with no cost to him to him which he refused. We have even offered the customer to return equipment and pay the related fee as well.

What a joke!!!!!!

AUTHOR: gevan - towson (United States of America)

Where was the owner when this entire ordeal was taking place? You guessed it, NO WHERE!  The fact of the matter, as he did not address and couldn't possibly speak to were the countless messages I left, emails I sent to the sales rep (nathan) which were never returned. 

Get this....after this entire ordeal....you'd think once the treadmill was delivered I'd get a follow up call to make sure everything was ok and to my satisfaction, right?  WRONG!  Never got a call to ensure things were ok.  I had to reach out to the sales rep numerous times without a response until finally he picked up weeks later when I called from an anonymous number.  

Another example, the sales rep did mention I could get a refund and he would start the process rolling of getting the broken treadmill out of my house...that conversation took place 5 days ago and he hasn't once follow up on that promise.  In fact, I had to reach out to him to request it to be picked up....and still have gotten NO RETURN CALL, AGAIN!

Ready for proof they knew they mishandled this ordeal?  Here's an excerpt from an email Nathan sent me " I will credit you $250.00 for all the inconveniences we caused you and your wife".

Again, this company is the worst company I have ever dealt with.  They couldn't get the shipment right.  They sent a piece of equipment to my house that was busted, ignored my calls.....I felt and still feel totally helpless!  Worst cutomer service I've ever encountered and between my businesses and personally, I purchase over $1 million dollars in good annually...so you can imagine, given that fact, how bad it was.

I tried to upload the photos of the frayed cord, missing bolts from the bottom of the treadmill and the ripped off foundation pad but the upload feature on ripoff is not working.  If you'd like to see the photos, please respond with email correspondence and I'd be more than happy to share.  Just want to make sure nobody else goes through the same HELL I have due to EFITOLOGY.COM.
