Do not buy MEDALIST products via TAKEALOT!

Bought 6 sets of MEDALIST dumbbells via Takealot. Sets ranging between pairs of 1kg to 7kg. Upon opening of these MEDALIST dumbbells, it was immediately visible that the neoprene covering is loose, already falling off on some and crumbling inside the packaging (photos have been taken). I returned all of it, as received with tags in original packaging. Takealot however decided to reject 1 of the MEDALIST dumbbells with reason of "User abuse" but refunded all of the other. Upon lodging a complain Takealot rejected my honest review of the faulty items sold by them. Furthermore, despite evidence of item being new, like the refunded other items of the same order, which they happily accepted as their fault, they wish to still burden financial loss on their clients for their poor quality. Luckily there are honest review sites such as Hellopeter that can grant me the opportunity to warn other about MEDALIST products sold by TAKEALOT!
