I purchased the rubber-coated olympic weight plates. They have been outstanding for use so far and I like the rubber coating on them as they don't "clank" when using. Very solid and good value for the dollar - nice that shipping is included. Would definitely buy again, but caveat (and probably true for everything that is rubber coated) - you may need to air out the items for a day or two in sunlight so the "new" gasses can appropriately dissipate. This is not Vulcan's problem - it's just normal for anything that is made of rubber. Once that's done, it's good to go. Just wish stock would come sooner - it took a few months to get the items. Again, not Vulcan's fault - just another by-product of life during a pandemic. They were great about keeping me posted on the progress of the order, though!

The weights are performing as expected, happy about them. Boxes arrived dented on edges but no damage to the plates.

When the open hex bar was back in stock, shipping was fast. Customer service responds within a couple days.

Preordered several items. Had some problems with at least one of the orders and it was not always easy to get in touch with Vulcan. When I was able to speak to representatives, however, they were very helpful. Products seem to be good quality. Bench seems extremely solid.

The items were as described. The rubber smell is not bad, they are in a garage so it’s not like it’s inside a building. Good looking quality product.

Love the Alpha plates. Best plates on the market for outdoor use.

Vulcan has a solid system for sending info on your order, and does great tracking after an order is placed. All in all, it seems like a great manufacturer that balances premium quality with accessible pricing. But because of the severe pandemic equipment shortages, they really need a more elegant system for reserving and purchasing pre-order items, and for sending out stock alerts. (Though the same can be said for Vulcan competitors.)

I've mostly purchased bumper plates and related accessories - all equipment has been robust and precision made. I'd also highlight that the delivery tracking and timelines have been exactly as estimated over the many purchases I've made with Vulcan [I think it's been at least 3 now].

I emailed customer service about some blemishes on the steel insert of the plates I received. They took the time to explain their manufacturing process and the nature of the materials used, which I appreciated. I think they would do well to set expectations on certain aspects of their products, i.e. "not uniform in appearance," and posting more than one picture of a product, at multiple angles, etc.

My only complaint is that the bar arrived with slight blemishes on the sleeves and small nicks at the edge of the end caps, like a single ridge on the edge of a quarter. When contacting customer service requesting either a discount to keep or a hassle free exchange (for hopefully a non damaged bar), they exclaimed that the bar was “made by humans and packaged by humans and therefore impossible not to leave some type of mark.” This is a) not true, since I’ve received equipment from other companies in flawless condition (I’ve also received equipment damaged far worse in transit due to poor packaging, for what it’s worth), and b) off-putting. Just apologize and offer the discount or offer the exchange free of charge. They also said “attached is the RMA and return shipping label so you can return the bar.” Um... that wasn’t one of my choices, and why would you assume I want to return? Why not say something like “if you’d like to return?” Even all the disclaimers warning what is and isn’t allowed in posting a review are off-putting, and somewhat contradictory. Amazing bar, smug and off-putting customer service. I will continue to buy Vulcan products because they are excellent, but their customer service leaves much to be desired.

Have been Olympic lifting for 2 years now and finally invested in my own barbell for training purposes. Very happy with the product. Worth the wait!
