Larger fitness equipment orders will be sent via a 2 man “white glove” service. The carrier will call ahead and book a convenient delivery date and then place in a ground level room of choice. Very large or heavy orders may be sent on a palletised delivery. We would contact you directly to confirm this method and to confirm any delivery restrictions. Please note that this is a kerb side only service and you will be required to move product from the truck. Delivery Charges Delivery to UK Mainland addresses (Excluding remote Scotland) are made free of charge for all orders over £99 on this site. We are not able to deliver to remote Scotland and non UK mainland locations at this time. Delivery Times Due to the diversity of products we retail we utilise a number of carriers dependent on size and / or weight. The vast majority of orders will arrive within 5 working days but some order could take up to 10. This is not a guarantee and as deliveries are carried out by third parties York Barbell will not be held liable for any deliveries that fall outside this timescale. If ordering multiple items please note your order maybe fulfilled via a number of different carriers with product arriving on different days. Receiving the Goods Other than smaller Royal Mail orders (under 2kg) you will be required to sign for deliveries. When receiving the order please check the carrier has delivered all items on their delivery note (ie: 2 out of 2 boxes). On Some occasions the outer packaging on heavier items can become damaged during transit. In most cases this will have no impact on the goods themselves and means that the packaging will have served its purpose in protecting your order. Please note this damage on the delivery note next to your signature just in case the order is damaged on the inside. In the extremely unlikely event that you receive a parcel which is obviously damaged beyond all levels of acceptability, please refuse the delivery and contact us via sales@yorkfitness.co.uk stating the reason for refusal within 48 hours. On larger palletised deliveries you must count the items and check for any damage and then sign and print your name to confirm you have received the whole order in good condition. It will state on your delivery note how many boxes you should receive. If the boxes you receive don't match the delivery note you must write down the number of boxes received on the delivery note next to your signature. Any damage to the equipment or packaging must be noted on the delivery note next to your signature. THE WORDS “UNEXAMINED” OR “UNCHECKED” WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Any shortages or damages must be reported to York Barbell (UK) Ltd within 48 hours of signing. York Barbell UK Ltd cannot be held responsible for shortages or damages if not stated on delivery note. This does not affect your statutory rights in the event of the goods being faulty. If you refuse the delivery for any other reason that the goods being damaged in transit or if you have already informed sales@yorkfitness.co.uk of your wish to cancel your order, you are liable for all outward and return freight charges. If any of the larger products will not fit through doors or stairwells, and delivery is refused or returned, you will be responsible for all outward and return freight costs. 14 Day Money Back Promise At York Fitness we understand that making purchases on line is not always easy.

Any fitness equipment that has been removed from the box, installed or assembled is not covered by our 14 day Money Back Promise as cannot be returned in a “like new” condition. Please note that you are under a statutory duty of care to look after the unwanted goods in your possession, this includes whilst the goods are in transit back to our warehouse, and any products that are to be returned under our Money Back Promise must be kept in an ‘as new’ condition If when the goods received back into our warehouse are unsaleable or damaged our customer service team will be in contact to arrange the return of the product(s) to you at your own cost. Please review your chosen carrier to ensure you are insured appropriately for the return of the product. Spare parts purchased via our website or yorkhelp@yorkfitness.co.uk are subject to the same condition.

Any product not based in UK Mainland for use. Parts requested under warranty will be made available for collection from our UK Warehouse at the expense of the customer, or we may offer a ‘back to base’ labour warranty. In cases of ‘back to base’ for products purchased outside of UK Mainland warranty, the customer may have to cover the cost of shipping to and from ‘base’, for further information please contact us prior to purchase. Any labour charges within the warranty period that have not been pre authorised by York Barbell and performed by anyone other than a York Barbell approved service engineer. Engineer call outs are at the discretion of York Barbell and on selected models may not be an option. Any product that has been used as a store display model. Spare Parts When purchasing spare parts via this website or via the online product form please note: When contacting our customer service team with regards to purchasing spare parts please ensure you provide the part number as per the manual. If you do not have a manual, a replacement can be found in our manuals catalogue. Please note some of our models, for example the Aspire, have several different versions distinguished by product code, if you are unsure of which is the correct version please also provide your serial number and our team will be able to double check this for you. Serial numbers are located on a label on the main frame of your machine. We aim to keep essential spare parts for our machines up to 3 years after they have been discontinued however this is not always possible for reasons out of our control, we will do our best to source alternatives for you, unfortunately again this is not always possible. In these circumstances where the lack of parts availability renders your machine unusable please do contact your customer service team as we may be able to offer a discount on a replacement machine. We are only able to supply spares to UK Mainland. If you require a spare part and do not live in UK Mainland please contact our customer service team via yorkhelp@yorkfitness.co.uk who will either direct you to the local distributor or if not an option make arrangements for you to have a courier collect the parts from our UK warehouse. Internal spare parts such as the motor, PCB etc. are toughly tested at both our factories and warehouse, for this reason it is likely that they will have signs of scratches and screw marks on them and not look as aesthetically pleasing as that you would expect from an external cosmetic part of the machine. It is very rare that a spare part purchased would be faulty despite looking a little ‘rough around the edges’. All of our non-consumable parts come with a 90 day warranty. Please note however if you report an issue with any purchased parts within this warranty period our customer service team may require you to return the part to our warehouse for testing as with our cardio equipment it is possible that one component causes another not to function correctly meaning the part you have ordered could still be fully functioning and the fault with your machine may be being cause by something else. If the part is found to be functioning it can be returned to you, however this would be at your expense. If the part is found to be faulty, a free of charge replacement will be sent. Please note York Barbell cannot be held liable for any expenses relating to fitting the parts even if they are found to be faulty. All of our spare parts come with a 28 day return policy. Whether the part ordered does not resolve your issue or you order multiple parts at the same time and want to return any unused parts for a refund you must contact us via yorkhelp@yorkfitness.co.uk within 28 days of purchase stating you would like to return for a refund. Our customer service team will then be able to issue a Returns Authorisation Number for you to label the packaging with. Once the part is received back into our warehouse a full refund minus the postage will be issued. We aim to issue refunds within a few days, but your refund will be issues within 30 days of being notified of a cancellation request under our Money Back Guarantee providing the goods have been received back into our warehouse. Please note that you are under a statutory duty of care to look after the unwanted goods in your possession, this includes whilst the goods are in transit back to our warehouse, and any parts that are to be returned must be kept in an ‘as new’ condition. In the event that our cardio equipment develops a fault outside of warranty our customer service team will do their best to advise you of all the possible causes and solutions. On most occasions they will suggest more than one part as a possible cause of the issue; this is because without an engineer physically assessing your machine it is very difficult to conclusively determine the part that is causing the issue. In the event that our customer service team do recommend a spare part they are doing so based on the information provided and are advising on the most likely parts only, due to the nature of these internal components we are unable to guarantee any parts suggested will fix your machine. In cases where a part suggested does not resolve the issue York Barbell cannot be held liable for any expenses incurred relating to fitting the parts or postage. Some spare parts are considered to be consumable; this means that we would expect you to have to replace them over the lifetime of your machine. Unfortunately it is difficult to say how long these consumable parts should last as this will depend on a number of different factors such as frequency of use, environment, technique, other components etc. For this reason consumable parts do not have a warranty however, if you feel that the part requires replacing unreasonably early please contact our customer service team with full details of the circumstances and they may be able to assist you further. Consumable parts include, but are not limited to: Pulling and cylinder straps – Rowing Machine Foot pedals – Cycles, Cross Trainers and Rowing Machines Running Decks – Treadmills Running belts – Treadmills Drive belts – Cycles and Cross Trainers Brake pads – Spin Bikes Seat upholstery – Cycles, Rowing Machines and Benches Cables – Multi Gyms and Bench Attachments Seat rollers – Rowing Machines Foam handlebar grips – Cycles, Cross Trainers and Rowing Machines Transportation wheels – Cycles, Cross Trainers, Treadmills and Rowing Machines. If you wish to make a claim for a spare part against your warranty please contact our customer service team by completing the form on the product support page This website does not offer the facility to order spare parts free of charge against your warranty. Spare parts ordered will not be refunded if you later decide they should have been made against a warranty claim. WEEE Regulations What is WEE? The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive aims to minimise the disposal of electrical items into landfill sites and addresses the environmental impacts of electrical and electronic equipment when it reaches the end of its life. You can now recycle your old electrical fitness products with us If you’re buying a new electrical fitness product, we will recycle you old one for free* *Recycling of your like for like product is free, however there is a cost to return the product to us if shipping is required”. Why recycle? Unwanted electrical equipment is the UKs fastest growing type of waste. Unwanted electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving on natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle, electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination – harming wildlife and also human health. Electrical and Electronic Equipment that was made after 13th August 2005 should display the crossed-out wheelie bin symbol on the packaging or product. WEEE Wheelie Bin Symbol The purpose of the symbol is to encourage householders to dispose of their WEEE separately from household waste. Reuse If your old machine is still working, do you know somebody who would like to use it? There are many organisations such as schools, clubs, residential homes etc. who might be very happy to use your old equipment and give it a new home. Recycle If your old equipment is no longer useful to you or anyone you know, please recycle it whenever possible. If you are unable to give your item a new home, there are lots of local organisations available that will reuse, recycle or repair electrical and electronic equipment for charitable schemes. We can help you recycle - York Fitness WEEE Recycling Policy In the unlikely event that you are unable to find a new home for your electrical items, Yorkfitness.com will gladly manage its disposal in line with the WEEE regulations for you. We offer this free recycling service to our customer on a like for like basis meaning that if for example you purchase a treadmill from us, we will ensure that your old treadmill is disposed of correctly and in line with the WEEE regulations. If you require this service we ask that you contact our Help Desk (yorkhelp@yorkfitness.co.uk) detailing your order number for the new item and request collection of your old “like for like” product. Please confirm on the email your full address and contact number and that the old product is dismantled and securely boxed ready for collection. Our help desk will then issue a quote for the collection of the “like for like” item. Once payment for the collection is received we will issue you with a ‘WEEE Returns Number’ (which must be displayed clearly on the packaging) and give you details of the collection. If you are able to return the old “like for like” product in person to our warehouse you will still require a ‘WEEE Returns Number’. Please detail this on your email to our help desk and we can organise. Please note our warehouse will not accept any deliveries without an authorised returns number.
