We purchased the 280 lb bumper plates for our home gym and we are VERY pleased with them. We shopped around for a set of plates for a while and Vulcan had the best price and free shipping....you can't beat that! The plates were backorded when we purchased them but once the plates came in they shipped very quickly. There was a problem with the shipper losing 2 boxes and Vulcan was very quick to respond and sent out new weights. Vulcan's customer service was top rate! The plates are well-made and we recommend others in the market for bumper plates to buy Vulcan's weights!
