Ordered from their team based on some positive recent reviews. I was not disappointed overall. The quality of weights that came in were great, and the price point was the best out there. The website c... See more

I mostly buy American-made products when it comes to hand tools and weight-lifting equipment. But on certain things like plates, I had to make a concession due to high shipping costs/local unavailab... See more

Quality iron

Ordered 3 pairs of 10lbs plates. Best deal on the market at the time of my purchase $72 plus $25 for shipping. Arrived in a timely manner with no defects. Plates were in tolerance on the weight.
Had one set that didn’t match the others but customer service acted quick and hooked me up with a replacement.

Brett,

That’s very peculiar, my guess is a mixup happened at the warehouse & you were sent one of the wrong pair. If you shoot us an email I’d be more than happy to send out a replacement for you.

Sincerely

Great Customer Service

I placed 3 seperate orders over the last few months. Unfortunately in the business world not everything goes perfect Lol. However Michael in customer service was happy to correct all problems with 1 order. Customer service seems like a thing of the past but Barbell Standard still has it and earns 5 stars on that alone. Quality on plates is very good for the price. Thanks again Michael and Barbell Standard 👍🏻

Good deal on iron plates

The pair of 45lb iron weight plates I ordered arrived very quickly in just a few days. The plates had some imperfections compared to others I have, but they were all cosmetic. There was one issue that wasn't cosmetic, but I contacted customer service and they resolved the issue very quickly, and to my satisfaction. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase. As far as weight tolerance goes, I didn't weigh them because I would have bought calibrated plates if I was that concerned and willing to pay that much for them.

Barbell Standard Went Above and Beyond

I placed my order for a set of 45 lb. plates on 12/3/2021 and it is now 12/27/2021 and my order still has not shipped. I reached out to Barbell Standard more than a week ago to check on the status but received no reply.

Update - Barbell Standard was gracious enough to make things right immediately after they read my review. I do appreciate the prompt response. I’ve since received my order and will gladly purchase from Barbell Standard again.

What you would expect from made in CN

Plates are advertised as milled, they are not. Additionally the plates have numerous bare spots and sharp edges due to the poor powdercoat splatter. Dumbbells have rust and excessive flash that will cut your hand. I have yet to receive my set of 25 lbs plates.

Don’t Recommend

Ordered plates on the 25th.They didnt actually send them out to me until the 11th even after speaking to multiple customer service agents that promised theyd be delivered before the end of the week which turned into 3 weeks. Shipping was not free. Plates arrived. Cheap cast iron. Only milling on them was the center 2” hole. One plate was 44.6 while the other was a full pound off at 44 pounds. Premium Pricing for cheap quality.

I'm very sorry for the late delivery, the holidays have been brutal, and yes you can only use one coupon so you can't use 40% off & Free shipping at the same time. Either way I'd really like to make this right so please reach out to us at support@barbellstandard.com as we replace any weights that aren't within 2% tolerance.

Excellent service and products

Excellent service and products. In the past year I've bought the Olympic bar, a pair of 45lb, 35lb and 25lb plates. On Black Friday I purchased a pair of 12lb, 15lb, 20lb and 25lb dumbbells. All products are GYM quality and precision made.

Overall quality plates and customer service. My first purchase I had a plate that was cracked shipped to me. I assume the shipping company was at fault and after speaking to customer service they sent me a replacement free of charge. I have made a few purchases through them and will be a future customer as I grow my gym
