Hello - These plates came in very greasy with a horrible chemical smell. Would not recommend buying if you don’t want to do many steps to get rid of the grease and smell they’ll have you buy products to wash and leave out in the sun to get rid of grease and smell and if you tell them it doesn’t work. They’ll just have you do it again and do it longer for the smell to go away. When wanting to return they are not helpful they sent an inferior product and won’t accept the returns out of their own pockets they will have you pay the return and tracking and packing insurance cause they do not guarantee the delivery back to them. On top of that they also want original packaging for returns. I have ordered products from rep fitness, fringe sports, rogue and Nike strength all of which did not need any additional steps on my part to utilize. I have bought bumper plates from these companies never had to wash or leave out in sun or purchase additional cleaners for. If you need plates washed before sending out to consumers you as the company should be your responsibility not on the people purchasing. Do not buy these plates for your health. Awful chemical smell it’s horrid.
