Hi all

With the first chairs rolling out we are getting lots of early great feedback thanks please keep it coming and reach out with questions. Remember when sitting in one of our chairs your sitting posture is different to your regular chair. First and foremost you will need to sit higher than you are used to so you will need to lift your work surface or workstation. Please read the Welcome guide you receive with your chair and watch our short video on how best to do set up you desk. It is followed by the assembly videos which are also important.

Also remember it will likely take a little adjustment and you may experience a few aches and pains and even some saddle soreness until your body completely adapts. This is a very healthy and normal process. Please read the Welcome guide, our website or reach out for any further information.

Enjoy your chairs when they arrive.

kind regards

The Workhorse is finally leaving the stable
almost 5 years ago – Sat, May 18, 2019 at 08:27:43 PM

Hi Everyone

Well the chairs are finally leaving the factory for their lives around the world - changing the way the world sits one chair at a time. It has been a huge challenge for all concerned but I am so proud and thankful for all the support of so many to make this all happen. I apologise for the delays and thank everyone for their patience I genuinely thought this would have been a simpler process but how naive I was. But we certainly couldn't have got there without the professionalism and commitment way over and above the norm by our tireless factory specialists and Eric our logistics guru. At the end of the day I am thrilled with the product that you are all about to receive.

We will keep you abreast of all the information as we get it but this is the estimated shipping and approximate arrival schedules. For tracking we will provide as much information as we can and feel free to contact us at [email protected] and we will try to help. Thanks for the support over the journey so far and I hope you are half as excited about receiving your Workhorse Chair as we are about getting it to you. In the meantime you may like to watch our short Desk set up and assembly Youtube videos via the link below.

Shipping Update Workhorse Saddle Chair
almost 5 years ago – Sat, May 04, 2019 at 09:17:45 PM

Hi Everybody

Sorry this has all been a longer process than I anticipated but boy its been a massive learning curve. Getting a new range of products ready for distribution is seemingly a University degree in itself in terms of the new ground you need to cover. Finally we are ready to start getting the task of shipping and logistics initiated.

We are hoping after final checks on every chair before it goes in its box is completed they will start leaving the factory this week or next. It will be staged with the sea freight to US and Australia going first then Canada and Singapore. The European chairs now will be delivered by courier so you will receive yours much quicker than would have been the case if sent via sea freight. Sea freight to Europe while much cheaper was problematic for me. All the rest will be sent out hopefully over the next 2 weeks. I say hopefully because if there is one thing I have learned in this process it is that small delays can occur completely out of my control that I need to deal with.

We will keep you updated when they leave and any tracking details offered by the shipper/courier so you can keep an eye out. Thanks again for your patience, sorry for the delays but I am sure you are going to love your chair when it arrives.

kind regards

Shipping Update Workhorse Saddle Chair – Further Delays
about 5 years ago – Mon, Apr 15, 2019 at 10:19:15 PM

Hi all,  another update on shipping as we work through our first production run.  Unfortunately we have encountered more delays as we work through the operational side of manufacturing and shipping the Workhorse Saddle Chair and ensuring we deliver you the highest quality product possible.  While the delays are of course not ideal and we’re extremely sorry about the wait you are experiencing, it’s the reality of manufacturing and international shipping that we are learning and would like to thank you for your patience. 

Revised Date Update

I’ve spent a great day at the factory on Saturday with the manufacturing team and the shipping agent working through the challenging task of sending over 500 chairs to over 40 different countries around the world.   We’re almost there and I plan to spend April 27,28 and 29 doing the final quality control checks personally for every chair as they are packed. No stone is being left unturned to ensure they are all of the highest quality and standard and give you all many years of great service improving your health and posture.

Once all boxes are sealed depending on destination and mode of delivery they will be staged in their shipping to their various destinations. Talking to the shipping agent it is a little like planes, trains and automobiles!  Rather than continuing to commit to delivery dates for each region – I will keep you updated regularly and advise when the chairs have left the factory and when you can expect your chair to arrive depending on your region.  At this stage we estimate the chairs to be leaving the factory from May 1 through May 15.

We are shipping a full container by sea to the US and Australia and a part container to Singapore and Canada and these need to fit into shipping schedules outside our control. It is still possible these dates change a little but it is very close and I will keep you well informed when they leave the factory and will give you a schedule of their approximate intended arrival date.

Thanks for your patience and we look forward to improving your health and posture.

Updated approximate shipping times once the chairs leave the factory are:

Local Asian ports : 1 week to 10 days

US and Canada: 5 weeks (includes shipping, customs clearance , warehousing and local distribution)

European Countries: 5 weeks (includes shipping, customs clearance , warehousing and local distribution)

All other destinations allow 2 to 3 weeks ( we are still trying to get the best solution for a few ports)

We understand that you are eager to receive your new chair and start changing your posture and health and we appreciate your patience as we tackle the task of getting our first shipment of 500 packages including 7 different chair types to over 40 different countries.  We will post regular updates on progress and apologise for the delay – we are extremely happy with the quality of the work we are seeing from the factory, and working with them daily to ensure we deliver on our production commitments so you can rest assured your chair is coming very soon!
