Rep Fitness - PSA to any baws thinking about ordering from them

Rep Fitness is apparently having issues getting their supply in from China. Here's my experience:
- Ordered rack + bench April 7th, received confirmation email
- Shipping date set for April 30th - May 15th window (works perfect since I'm moving June 1)
- No communication until today when I received an email that said, "Our shipments of these racks are expected to arrive mid-late June, and at that point we will ship orders in the order they were received. Due to order volumes, it may take up to 2 weeks for your order to ship after the initial inventory receipt."
I went to r/homegym and saw that several other people received the same email. I actually just went through this with Texas Power Bars where they couldn't meet the original shipping date and pushed it back to late May for a bar I ordered April 2nd. I got a great price on the Rep Fitness rack + bench, but at this point I'm probably going to cancel the order and try to get something from Rogue or EliteFTS. It makes my wallet hurt, but waiting for China to get their shite together is a crapshoot.

When does rogue expect to have things back in stock? I check their barbells pretty often and they are still out of stock.

You do know a ton of stuff from Rogue is made in China.....
The stuff made in America like racks and bars is on back order

I'm seeing 4-7 weeks for most racks, but yeah still a long lead time.
Everything on EliteFTS doesn't ship til August.

I'm so glad i stalked the Rogue website so i'm up and running now.
But as for the OP .... that REALLY sucks man. We're all impatient right now and I know it sucks to have to keep waiting.
My experience with Rogue during all this has been great. If i were you, and the budget permits, i'd go Rogue. Good luck brother.

Does this include their SSB? I was going to order one from them or Crepensik on Black Friday.

Looks like 2-3 days for that. I just meant the racks, sorry
After 2 months of not lifting, I can't fricking take it anymore. I ended up ordering the Fitness Reality rack off Amazon, it'll be here Monday supposedly.

Can you just update the shipping address?

FWIW I recently ordered some farmers walk handles from the much maligned Titan Fitness and they shipped the next day.

I ordered a trap bar from Titan because shipping everywhere else was so expensive. Ordered on Tuesday and received it on Thursday. TheIr packaging now is probably the best around.
I ordered a bench and stainless steel bar from Rep on Black Friday. The bar came out of the cardboard tube during shipping and arrived in a plastic bag. It was a close out bar so I couldn’t return it. I was given a $15 credit even though shipping was $50. I don’t know what happened to the box for the bench. I was originally offered some touch up paint and a new bench pad. I told them I wanted a new bench which they sent. I had to pack up the damaged one and drop it off at the UPS store. The bench and bar are both nice but what they charge for shipping I expected more.

Titan shipping is usually terrible lol

Everything I’ve ordered from them in the past 6 months or so has been packed really well. They’ve had thin pieces of plywood inside the box to protect everything and use a lot of styrofoam inside.

Dude that box from Rep looks like an actual turd. I'd be pissed if that showed up at my door

Not anymore. They fixed the issue a couple months ago.
