: Hi.
:
: The bench press belt I ordered from Lifting
: Large arrived today. I am very disappointed
: with this product. Nice piece of leather,
: nice buckle, but appalling design faults.
:
: First fault
: The distance between the 5th and 6th holes
: is wrong - about 1/8" short than
: between the other holes. This means that I
: cannot fit the metal pieced that acts as a
: washer or buffer between the screws and the
: belt, as its holes don't line up with the
: belt holes. God know how such an error was
: mmade as the other hole distances seem ok.
: The positioning at holes 5/6 is the right
: position for me at this time, so it is a
: problem that matters - I can't fit the metal
: piece as its holes don't line up so I can't
: have the lever buckle at this position.
:
: Second Fault
: The screw holes on the buckle are very poor
: to say the least - extremely poorly
: finished! On one of them it seem impossible
: to feed the crew in straight. Believe me I
: have been trying - the screw head is a bit
: burred. as a result and so I have stopped
: trying. Also on this AND the other hole,
: which does feed in straight, you don't seem
: to be able to fully crew the screw in to
: make everything flush.
:
: It's really disappointing as I wanted to use
: this belt in my local National comp on 27
: October.
:
: So what do I do. I don't want to tamper
: further and can't no matter what get my
: preferred buckle position (I don't want to
: widen the relevant belt hole and in any
: event the srew holes on the buckle aren't
: right anyway.
:
: How can this be fixed up. Can you put a
: buckle on a replacement comp lever bench
: belt and courier this to me and I send you
: the faulty original back, or do I just
: charge this extremely frustrating purchase
: back on my credit card and go find a belt
: elsewhere?
:
: Thanks,
:
: Rod
