Strength Shop UK have some pretty decent looking bars. However, the first one they sent me came in battered and ripped packaging - the bar inside was bent about 8mm.
We sent it back.
Second time around, again, packaging looking beaten up. The use a flimsy cardboard tube. This time, the bar has a 2mm bend. I'm keeping this bar but I would think twice before buying anything from them. We have sent them pictures of the packaging so hopefully they will improve it.
On the bright side, they were very good with dealing with the issue and sent out a new bar very quickly. It's just a shame about the packaging, or rather, lack of it.
