Returns and refunds

Can I return an item?

Yes — and we give you 180 calendar days from delivery, far longer than the law requires. Under our 180-day returns promise the item needs to be unused, unassembled and in original condition with all packaging. Separately, you have a statutory right to cancel within 14 days of delivery, and that right is not conditional on the item being unused, unassembled, in original condition, or returned with its packaging. We do not charge a restocking fee; the refund policy sets out the full process.

How do I start a return?

Contact us with your order number. For a change-of-mind cancellation you do not have to give a reason. We then issue a Return Authorisation Number (RAN) and the return address. Please include the RAN so we can identify your parcel quickly; you do not need one to exercise your statutory cancellation rights, and we will not refuse a statutory return because it is missing.

Who pays for return postage?

Return postage is your responsibility unless the item is faulty or incorrect. We offer discounted courier labels if you would rather use a tracked return at a reduced rate compared with standard prices.

When will I receive my refund?

Once the return arrives, our quality control team inspects the item and you receive an update within 2 business days. If you cancel under your statutory 14-day cancellation right and we have not offered to collect the goods, we will refund you without undue delay and no later than 14 days after the day we receive the goods back or the day you provide evidence that you have sent them back, whichever is earlier, and we refund the basic outbound delivery charge you paid — nothing where Great Britain standard delivery was free, the standard charge on a Northern Ireland order, and never the extra paid for Express Delivery. On a change-of-mind return under our voluntary 180-day policy, original delivery charges are not refunded. Refunds go to the original payment method; banks typically take 5–7 business days to show the credit.

What statutory rights do I have?

Goods are covered by your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. How to report a fault is on the warranty page, and how to report damage on arrival is on the delivery page.

Orders and payment

Can I spread the cost with Klarna?

Klarna is available at checkout on eligible orders. The payment options, schedule and eligibility are shown before you pay.

What if an item is sold out?

Email support@liftsets.co.uk or call +44 191 743 7100, Monday to Friday 9am–5pm, and we will advise on that product. Clearance lines are not restocked once they sell out, so for those the regular listing is the place to look.

Is Lift Sets a Google Top Quality Store?

Yes. Lift Sets currently holds Google’s Top Quality Store badge. Google Merchant Center awards and reviews it itself, from our delivery times, delivery cost, returns window and site quality, so it is not something we can apply for or edit. You will see it beside our name on Google Shopping and in the small Google widget in the corner of this site.

Choosing equipment

The buying guides answer which weight to start with, pairs or a set, and hex or adjustable. These are the questions that do not belong to one guide.

Which adjustable dumbbells do you sell?

Selectorised models go up to 24kg (15-in-1) and 40kg (17-in-1), and spinlock dumbbell-and-barbell sets start from 20kg. Every option is listed under adjustable dumbbells.

Do Olympic plates fit a standard 1-inch bar?

No. Lift Sets only sells Olympic 2-inch (50 mm) plates; we do not list 1-inch standard plates. Plates on spinlock dumbbell and barbell sets come with those kits and are not sold separately. See Olympic weight plates for the 2-inch range.

Is the equipment commercial grade?

Our dumbbells, plates, racks and benches are sold for both home gyms and professional facilities. If you are specifying a commercial floor, request a trade quote so we can match products to your use.

What storage should I buy with my weights?

Hex tree racks, neoprene trees, plate trees, vertical disc racks and the adjustable dumbbell stand sit together under racks and storage. Match the stand to the format you already own rather than mixing hex saddles with selectorised trays.

Do the benches fold for storage?

The adjustable weight bench with 250kg weight capacity folds down between sessions, and the bench with dip station and barbell rack is also a foldable design. For any other model, email support@liftsets.co.uk with your order number.

Can I adjust rack height myself?

Yes. The G100 Power Rack has adjustable J-hooks and safety bars, and the squat and bench press rack stand has adjustable upright height for squats and bench press. Contact support with your order number if you need help with the unit you bought.
