Product samples before you order
SportsiQ sends fitness and sports equipment samples to your address in the EU before you order in volume: catalogue samples, branded pre-production samples, and comparison samples when we source a new product. Weigh the dumbbell, unroll the mat, test the glove closure before you commit.

Frequently asked questions
Are fitness equipment samples free?
No, but they are charged at cost: the product plus express shipping. The amount is credited against your first order of that product.
Can a heavy item such as a barbell or bench be sent as a sample?
Yes, but it costs much more to send by express. We show the cost first, so you can decide which items are worth testing. Racks and treadmills are usually judged on documents and a smaller component sample.
Can I get a sample of an electrical product such as a walking pad?
Yes, for items such as a walking pad or an electronic dartboard. Batteries travel under dangerous goods rules, so these samples cost more and can take longer than the usual 7–14 days.
Will the bulk order be identical to the sample?
It should be: the approved sample is the reference for production and inspection. Normal manufacturing tolerances apply.
How long do samples take to arrive?
Typically 7–14 days to an address in the EU for catalogue samples. Branded pre-production samples need extra time for the logo and packaging, and several products can travel in one parcel.
