There was an issue with the delivery of the bag on the couriers side, graft now went above and beyond to ensure to I received the bag as soon as possible by sending a replacement before the original had be sent back to them the replacement was sent Friday I received the bag the next working day on Monday. The quality of the bag is brilliant I've had a few different bags over the years and this freestanding 1 seems durable I'm 6ft2 and 23 stone trying to find a bag that take all you can give it isn't easy so far so good with this one, I train muay thai and a couple of training partners/ friends are thinking of getting the same bag.

The punch bags are competitively priced and the quality is great thanks again! Asher.”
