The company makes awesome products. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I decided to buy a barbell and plates in March 2020. I settled on Vulcan in April. Understandably, they were backordered and had logistical challenges, the pandemic has wreaked havoc on multitudes of companies, not just Vulcan. So I saved and waited. I bought at the beginning of December 1, 2020. There were still delays, but I know Vulcan has worked hard to keep up with orders and manage product manufacturing. I most of my stuff arrived before Christmas, except my 45 lb alpha bumper plates. Those arrived January 12, 2021. Their delivery was a bright spot for me amidst the dark fallout of a violent coup attempt in the US by traitorous sycophants. TL:DR; Vulcan came through during a rough time with solid product.
