Searched everywhere for 45lbs plates that were not over priced and actually available. Barbell Standard came through quickly!

Arrived in excellent condition. Exactly what I ordered (pair of 45's). Good price and good looking. Shipping was extremely fast (and free) and the plates were well packed. Very satisfied!

I will give them 5 stars. Delivery was fast and I got what I ordered. I am very pleased with the service. The only thing that was wrong what is that I am sure someone had drop the weight and there was a little chip in one of them. I am sure I did not come from the company that way probably through delivery.

Don’t even know how to give them a star after this I usually stick with Rogue or Rep Fitness and believed in this company and found a number of uncommon problems that made me very concerned. Pros: - Price is almost unbeatable due to a 10% discount code I received and the free shipping. - The finish seems to be decent compared to all the other companies around this price range and style of plates. Cons: - Plates claimed to be milled and have a 2% tolerance. This was not what I found the plates to be. Found some 45s to be around as low as 42 lbs. This isn’t a big issue with a few plates but after more than 4 are on a side this can have the bar be +/- 5-10 lbs off which can be very dangerous.I have also noticed that these plates were originally from AD4M. This made it odd because the plate on the website that is shown to be weighed at tolerance does not have the logo and is from a different manufacturer. - Customer Support is far below average. Spoke to a rep to return my plates at the PA site and after emailing him about the process he has not responded since. Asked about my shipment and still no response. Moreover, I wanted to speak to a live person but the customer support number cannot be reached and says the voicemail box has been filled. - FedEx also should have my last plate at my house 3 days ago and nothing has updated on the site and still says pending. I do not know if they lost it, but this is very strange since they offered 2-3 day shipping and my whole order arrived either early or a day later. Barbell Standard could be more reputable if they inspected and weighed the plates prior to sending them out. If the plates tolerance was true to your “guarantee” I wouldn’t have questioned anything, but the customer support to the false advertising led me to believe otherwise. In hopes that this catches their attention to the numerous emails I have sent. I hope that I will eventually get my money back even though I do not know what stage I am in the return process. If not, I am stuck with plates that I do not even want. Update: They worked with me to have the plates returned. Customer Service was delayed but true to their word. The plates are pretty good quality, delivery is fast, but QA should weigh the plates to ensure the 2% weight tolerance or at least guarantee a higher tolerance.

Ordered plates, accidentally put in wrong information. Their customer service was quick and my product arrived within a couple days. I couldn’t be happier!

Ordering was fast and the item arrived within the estimated time frame, BUT, the barbell was poorly wrapped with just some plastic. Not the best way to protect it.

Amazing price, Amazing speed, Amazing product. I searched used and new equipment and somehow stumbled on Barbell Standard .com. Their price was better than any new equipment and the quality was not manufacturers rejects, like some in this price range, but straight from the factory high quality stuff. Feel safe in dealing with these guys. Mike

Plates look great and are exactly what I ordered. Had a bit of a snafu with the delivery process… As FedEx left one of the plates on their truck during delivery. Fortunately that plate and a second order were both delivered the following day.
