showlarson Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 (edited) I ordered the inch db from Sorinex about 2-3 weeks ago and it was delivered today!! What a beast! I had called both Sorinex and Ironmind to quote a price and Ironminds shipping was around 90.00 more than the 100.00 flat rate from Sorinex. I was especially worried that I would get a call saying that shipping was more b/c of the outrageous gas prices as of late but they stuck with the original quoted price! Another thing I must say was that when I called Sorinex I (thought I would get a sales rep) I found out I was talking to the MAN himself Richard Sorin! He was great about giving tips, asking about MY training, and bsing...all I am amazed at the personal service and fast shipping offered with such a unique item as the inch db. ps i have pics of it compared to the millenium in my gallery Edited September 12, 2005 by showlarson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Crusher Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Shane, Your experience is very consistent with what I have experienced with Richard and his Company. Fine products and service from a really nice guy. If you have some extra scratch, do yourself a favor and get yourself a pair of The Big Squeeze dumbbells from Sorinex. You will NOT be disappointed.

stevelockhead Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Same experience here, I dealt with Bert and he was helpful beyond the call of duty the end result is I managed to get an Inch replica all the way down-under to OZ. Not sure if there are many (any?) others here in Australia but I do love mine !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve ← Ditto on the Big Squeeze handles. Very humbling to use and fun as well. It's neat trying to curl the same amount of weight with these as you would with a regular dumbell (it ain't happening). When I ordered mine, along with my G-Rex I spoke to Mr. Sorin as well and I can't say enough about him or the company. First class all the way!

Bill Piche Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 My Invanko stainless steel bar was purchased through Sorinex. Primo bar with primo service. My Inch is from Sorinex as well. Always delivered as promised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Sorinex is a generous sponsor of GGC and Richard has been very nice and awesome to deal with - I'll get to hang out with him this Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showlarson Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 (edited) I know, I know, I'm vain but luckily there are other GB members (Florian, Rick Walker) there so I don't feel so bad about posting the link! http://www.sorinex.com/living.asp http://www.sorinex.com/pics.asp?x=inch%20lift%20004.jpg btw looks like Bert S. has a HELL of a hang clean (367lbs) it looks like-one of my favorite exercises but never got that high! also don't mind the horrible attempt at a smile in this pic as the inch as getting heavier as I waited for the slooooooooooooow ass digital camera to click.

kimwood Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I've purchased equipment from Richard for years and have always been greatly satisfied... plus Richard and Bert are fine fellows(and strong as Hell too!) -Kim Wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebuck Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Bought a g-rex from them, dealt with Bert. He was very friendly and professional. At the time I was trying to decide between the g-rex and the gripanator from pda. I really liked both machines, but based on the friendly customer service at Sorinex I picked the g-rex. If I only had more money to spend on equipment I would buy nearly all of it from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handgripperman Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Same here, Got my Inch from Sorinex. and I dealt with Bert, He is great, extremly friendly. Got my Inch in just a couple of weeks. Sorinex is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Singapore's just a stone's throw away from Oz that means I could probably order similar equipment from him too. Could you share how much you paid for delivery of the Inch?
