Shipping: Ordered on 9/1/2020, received on 9/5/2020. I like that I constantly received email updates from Toby's/Ninja Van on the status of my parcel.
Packaging: No bubble wrap, but I have no issue with this. The band is safely stored in its box, as if it came from a Toby's store and was shipped to our place.
Item: Pretty satisfied. The fabric knitting looks more compact and sturdier than the cheap ones in Shopee. Haven't used this yet in my booty workout, but it felt comfortable and it did not move when I was doing squats to test the product. Because of this, I prefer the Microband X over the Microband line. I bought this and PTP Microband Ultra Light MICRO1 to compare the material feel.
Others:
- I like that there is a pamphlet with multiple exercises that you can do while using this band.
- When I was researching this product, I found that PTP has a Youtube account demonstrating exercises to show how use their products.
- The receipt is stapled with a return form saying that you can return the item 7-10 days upon receipt of purchased item.
I hope that I can still update this review after weeks or months of usage to attest to the quality of the product. I went in blind and trusted a brand from Toby's over cheap ones from Shopee and Lazada because a substandard product is a bad investment over time.
