Is it worth shipping dumbbells and weights from Turkey?

Usually not; they are heavy and charged on actual weight, so shipping can exceed their price, while clothing and light kit are better value.

Do large machines go by air?

They are charged on volume and weight together, and road freight may suit them better where available, so ask for a quote before paying.

Should I take the machine apart before shipping?

No, unless the manual says so, since reassembly can void the store warranty.

What matters when shipping sports gear

Machines ship in their original cartons; this adds volume but protects the parts, so do not ask for the packaging to be removed.

Size, volume and consolidation

Pick clothing and shoe sizes from the store’s own size chart, since sizes vary between brands. Large machines such as exercise bikes and treadmills are bulky, so price them in the shipping calculator before buying, and combine light items in one parcel.

What ships easily and what needs checking

Light weights, ropes, mats and resistance bands ship like any ordinary parcel, while large machines such as treadmills are charged by volume and the freight can exceed the price of the machine. Ask for the packed weight and dimensions before buying.

Home gear versus professional gear

Home equipment is lighter and often folds, while professional equipment is heavier, sturdier and needs stronger packing. Choose by how often you will use it and check the maximum user weight stated in the description.

Spare parts and warranty

The warranty of sports equipment dealers in Turkey usually does not extend abroad. Ask the store about small spare parts such as screws and belts and have copies included in the parcel, because ordering them later costs a new shipment.
