Great set of weights. We had been searching online for a long time looking for a good product at a reasonable price and these definitely hit the mark. Great service and product received as advertised!
Have ordered a few different weights from Hajex. Mostly they are fine, well made, however, the rubber coating on one set came with a very toxic and unbearable cigarette odour that took a few week outside to air out and dissipate. Likely a factory issue. Nice to have them with the Hajex Barbell. Also, Hajex was very quick to jump on a delayed delivery when I wrote in a complaint. Credit to them for doing a great job at shipping and servicing.
Plates are great overall and love the quality but personally not going to ever buy from Hajex again. Upon order placement, you receive an email which supposedly allows you to track your order but there’s nothing for you to actually track. Behind the scenes, it’s just the company owner who is trying to figure out where his delivery guys are with their trucks and between the owner and their “customer support” , they only provide you very loose delivery windows. I had to follow up repeatedly to get details of my shipment and at one point the company owner actually wrote back saying “ I think by 1pm if ur in Ottawa but i dont know. U ll find out soon.” Seriously? Another email wrote “ I have sent a one driver he should be delivering ottawa and Toronto today. Goodluck”.
Might be a good product but absolutely terrible customer service experience that lacks professionalism.
FYI, the delivery took over 2 weeks. Was probably much better off ordering from Amazon.
I reached out to Hajex customer service before I placed an order to see where they would ship from - they have warehouses in Montreal, QC (I think...) and Delta, BC. I live in BC. Another company I placed an order from shipped from Ontario, even though they have a warehouse in Alberta, and ended up DOUBLING the estimated shipping cost. I didn't want this to happen again, so I checked in with customer service.
They were super responsive, super helpful, they did the work of looking into my shipping requests before I paid them a cent. I emailed back and forth with a customer service agent 5 or 6 times that day, and there was hardly any wait time.
I ordered around 440 LBs of bumper plates and a 7 ft Olympic bar. One of the sets of plates (15s) weren't in stock - they gave me several different options to rectify the delay, I chose to wait until they were back in stock to have them shipped then. They would have happily supplemented the order with different items, but I wanted the whole set to match.
All my stuff showed up today - it's in great shape and good quality. For the price, it's not worth a second thought - I ended up spending hundreds less on these, and they are high quality. A little bit of oil on the plates, which is normal when they ship direct from factory. Nothing a piece of paper towel and a bit of windex can't handle.
All in all, I am incredibly pleased with the items and even more pleased with the way I was treated as a customer. It took 35 days for my items to ship from another fitness retailer - they were unresponsive, increased my shipping from 300 to almost 600, and took forever to throw my 8 items on a pallet. Hajex, on the other hand, treated me very well - their responsiveness was the reason I chose to place an order without a second thought. I'd recommend them to anyone for weights and bars, though I can't speak for the other items they sell.
