My experience with Mysupplement Shop was incredibly disappointing. I purchased a Gold's Gym Stringer online, only to receive it packaged in an undersized, tattered yellow paper satchel that showed no regard for the item's integrity. Despite my careful efforts to open the packaging, I ended up unintentionally damaging the garment.
Upon contacting Mysupplement Shop about the damage and questioning the authenticity of the Stringer due to significant differences in logo graphics, color, and fabric quality compared to genuine Gold's Gym products, Chris displayed zero willingness to address my concerns with a replacement or refund. It's a classic case of caveat emptorâlet the buyer beware.
My advice to anyone considering purchasing from Mysupplement Shop: proceed with caution and be prepared for subpar products and unsatisfactory customer service.

Dear My Supplement Shop,
I recently received my order from your company and thank you for it. However, I found that the Golds Gym Stringer garment was damaged due to inadequate packaging, leading to cuts when opening the package with scissors. More care could have been provided when selecting the parcel satchel size. I believe a larger satchel would have prevented this issue.
Could you please arrange for the return of the damaged garment? I would appreciate either a replacement or a refund.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Kind regards
Ash Dehnert

Hi Ash,
I appreciate your swift response and bringing this matter to my attention.
I've carefully examined the images you provided, and I want to assure you that our team takes great care in packaging orders to ensure they reach our customers in excellent condition.
Upon reviewing the situation, it's important to highlight that the Golds Gym Stringer garment left our facility without any damage.
The garment was dispatched in optimal condition, and our packaging is designed to provide sufficient protection during transit. However, it appears that the damage occurred post-delivery, as evidenced by the clean cut visible in the images.
It's regrettable that the garment suffered damage during the process of opening the package with scissors. While I understand this may be frustrating, it's crucial to note that our responsibility extends to the condition of the item upon dispatch.
At this juncture, I would like to discuss alternative solutions that don't involve a return. As the damage occurred after delivery, initiating a return may not be the most suitable course of action.Â
As a gesture of goodwill and to make amends for any inconvenience, I'd like to offer you a 10% discount on your next purchase.
 Chris Price

Hello Chris,
I appreciate your prompt response and attention to my concerns.
While I understand your perspective on the packaging, I respectfully disagree regarding the care taken. The inner plastic package containing the garment was significantly larger than the postal satchel, making it challenging to open with scissors. Using scissors to open packages is a common method, and not unusual.
Furthermore, I want to express my gratitude for the discounted offer to repurchase the item. However, I must decline as I have discovered that the stringer is not an authentic Gold's Gym product. Therefore, I kindly request either a replacement or a refund for the garment. Your understanding and assistance in resolving this matter are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your attention to this issue.
Kind regards
Ash Dehnert

Hi again Ash Dehnert,
Thank you for your recent correspondence and for shedding light on your concerns regarding your order.
We value your feedback and are committed to addressing your concerns thoroughly.
- Regarding the authenticity of the product, we take great pride in offering only genuine and authentic items to our customers.
If you have any specific evidence or reasons to believe the item is not authentic, please share them with us. This information is crucial for us to investigate the matter further and ensure our high standards are maintained. - Your initial email focused on the packaging and damage to the item, which we addressed promptly. However, the question of authenticity is a new concern.
Understanding why this was not mentioned initially would help us in addressing all your concerns effectively. - We take great care in our packaging process, utilizing methods that are proven to protect the products during transit. The adequacy of the packaging is something we continuously review and improve upon. While using scissors may be a common practice for you when opening your packages, it is important to do so with caution to avoid damaging the contents. Slicing into the top eighth of a parcel clearly marked containing clothing and one that is easily distinguishable as a MYSUPPLEMENTSHOP order with our branded sticker is most certainly not advisable under any circumstances. If this was me personally, I'd have just opened the folded seal on the back.Â
- Regarding the envelope size, our packaging is designed to be as efficient as possible, reducing waste and unnecessary costs. This efficiency is not only beneficial for you in terms of shipping cost but also contributes to more environmentally friendly shipping practices.
- We understand that mistakes can happen, and it's crucial to acknowledge them when they occur. We encourage a dialogue that leads to resolution and learning from the situation. An error was made on your part by cutting into a parcel containing clothing. Recognizing it is an essential step towards resolution.Â
We are here to assist you and resolve this matter to your satisfaction.
Please provide any additional information or evidence you have regarding the authenticity of the product and any other concerns you wish to discuss.
We aim for a resolution that is fair and satisfactory for all parties involved based on their actions taken.Â
Looking forward to your evidence based, self-accountable response.
Kind regards,
Chris Price

Dear Chris,
Thank you for your prompt response and understanding. I apologize for the delay in getting back to you.
Regarding the authenticity of the Gold's Gym Stringer, I initially raised concerns about the packaging rather than the product itself. However, upon realizing you are unwilling to consider a return I decided to open the clear plastic packaging and noticed the substantial differences in the logo graphics, color, and fabric quality which led me to question its authenticity. I have attached images for your reference, highlighting these disparities. I hope this evidence can facilitate a thorough investigation into the matter.
Additionally, the size discrepancy between the garment and the satchel it came in is evident from the attached images. Contrary to the instructions provided, there was no clear label indicating that the package contained clothing and I did open the package within 1/8th of the end.
While I appreciate your efforts to address the concerns raised, I would like to withdraw my request for a refund or replacement. However, I intend to provide honest and crucial feedback through a review to help improve your process and enhance the overall experience for future customers. Once again, thank you for your attention to this matter.
Kind regards
Ash Dehnert
