Shipping was timely and occurred as scheduled. Box arrived visually defected, opened the product to find all pieces there which was a relief. However, I noticed multiple pieces scratched up and even a large section of powder coat peeled off. I proceeded to put everything together because I needed to clear floor space in my home gym and get dumbbells off of floor. Product went together and functions as expected. The product itself is great, I was underwhelmed by the packing for shipping of the product. If product would have been secured in the packaging better it would have been great. Again, product is great but packaging/protection for shipping is most definitely inferior to others in the fitness industry.
