Now that Sports Direct own Gelert's name, are they honouring their lifetime guarantee?

    Have you tried asking them? (Probably the quickest way to find out rather than ask some Internet randoms). ;)

    I did try that, funnily enough, and got "Hello, this site is currently not available. Please try again later".

    Might as well close MSE down right now seeing that Google has all the answers.

    you cant expect people to hand hold you through everything in life.
  • Took 10 seconds of Google to find this page:
    https://www.gelert.com/CustomerServices/ContactUs/ContactForm

    Also, this site is more for consumer advice - Google does have many answers, but you're perfectly capable of using it for that I'm sure... :)

    Yeah, no need for MSE
    Took 10 seconds of Google to find this page:

    https://www.gelert.com/CustomerServices/ContactUs/ContactForm

    Already answered that above and if you tried sending them an email you'd know it doesn't work, hence asking the question on MSE..

    No idea what that means.

    I thought MSE was a helpful and friendly forum rather than a hangout for passive aggressive posters hiding behind their keyboards.

    But youre asking people who will not know the answer. Were tying to direct you to an answer, all be it tongue in cheek a little but the answer is, unless somenoen has direct experience of using a gelert lifetime guarantee, ill be amazed if anyone has used this, gelert is a budget brand and as such will more or less always be easier buying a replacement than dealing with what the rules will be surrounding their life time guarantee, theyre just ot going to know the answer. Someone at Gelert will.

    Ive found a customer service number (not tried) : 01766 512 412

    An email address: sales@gelert.com

    And a returns address:
    Unit B,
    Brook Park East,
    Shirebrook.
    NG20 8RY.

    Although that address and the company directors are linked to a huge number of businesses.

    I'd be amazed if someone hadn't had dealings with Gelert; they were a quality brand and have only become budget since going bust and the name being taken over.

    The purpose of this forum is to ask questions such as this otherwise we all might as well just rely on Google and/or the manufacturer.
