Worst online shopping experience ever...NEVER give these people your hard earned money. The “owner” has the audacity to go on his YouTube channel and say that he is not about excuses yet gives nothing but excuses. One of his excuses was to blame the poor customer service of his vendors yet this company has not responded to any of my phone calls or emails for months. They promised my weights in 2 to 3 weeks but it is now going on 4 months with no update. I wonder how long it took them to write all the fake 5 star reviews on their website which also boasts a 5 star TrustPilot rating LOL...most TrustPilot reviewers would leave 0 stars if possible.

If I could give zero stars I would
If I could give zero stars I would; THIS COMPANY WILL STEAL FROM YOU—DO NOT ORDER!!!! I placed my order in late November 2020, was told via email in mid December to expect an early January 2021 shipment only for that to be changed to beginning of February and now NO RESPONSE!!! They have stolen over $725 from me, will not deliver product, will not issue refund, will not respond.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM
I placed my order around October 20, 2020. At the time, the website stated it would take 10 business days to fill and ship the order. Ok cool, no problem. Any other place at the time was at least two months out. I place the order, two weeks go by, and nothing. I try emailing a few times with no response. I called the number and a guy answered. Said that the order should be loaded up that week and he would personally contact me to let me know it was shipping. Wow, that sounds great! What good service.
Week goes by, and nothing. I try calling but no answer. So I resort to texting and I did get responses via text within a day usually. Every time, they told me "end of this week", "next week", "it's just waiting to be shipped", "all the back orders have been filled and you should be next." This went on until near xmas. Finally, FedEx tracking numbers!
Only...they just sit for over a week saying that the labels were created but the items hadn't shipped. Then, the labels were cancelled. Ok...
So then UPS labels created. Alright, this is the time!
Only...they sit for over another week...and then are cancelled.
I contact AD4M and get some response about labels were incorrect and the warehouse cancelled all of them. At this point, it has been almost three months. THREE MONTHS. That is 25% of the year. Keep in mind, the site said 10 business days when I ordered. I'm not expecting Amazon-style two day delivery...but I would think within a month if you state 10 DAYS wouldn't be an unreasonable ask.
Ok, so at this point I am fed up. I am done with the cycle of abuse that this has become. So I tell them I want to cancel and want a refund. They tell me that they can't because the plates already shipped. I check the new UPS tracking and, like the other times, it shows the labels were created but not shipped. They told me UPS picked up everything on a pallet. Wow, what a coincidence. After three months of waiting, the plates ship on the exact day that I want to cancel.
Ok, no worries. UPS can just return the plates and I can get my money back. That cool with you guys? "Yes, we will refund the money when the plates are returned". UPS returns the plates without delivering them to me. Tracking shows the plates were returned to sender. Did I get my money refunded? Heck no, AD4M stated they didn't get the plates and wouldn't give me my money until they located them. I pleaded with them. I begged them. At this point, I don't have the money or the plates.
Then, finally, I opened a PayPal dispute. 10 days elapses, AD4M doesn't contest the dispute, and I FINALLY get my money back and I am done with this nightmare...almost four months after ordering.
Don't get caught up in the same cycle of "well, I've already waited X amount of time and it's going to take at least Y amount of time from anywhere else...maybe I will just wait." Don't. Dispute the claim and move on. There is a reason why they were able to sell weights at low costs with quick shipping...because they were lying. I thought that if I was kind and polite the whole time (i.e., just being myself), that maybe it might make a difference. It did not. I almost lost $640.

It's sad that I had to give 1 star…
It's sad that I had to give 1 star review, as I feel that is overly generous. Ordered plates and my account was immediately debited. Estimated shipping time came and went. No response to communication. Emailed to cancel order and requested refund. I received a reply stating the order was cancelled and that I would receive a refund in 2-10 business days. That timeframe elapsed with no refund. I emailed again to inquire about the refund and never received any response. Resorted to disputing the charge to my financial institution, and recovered my money. This isn't the way to operate any business. Promising to deliver a product, yet don't. Promising to issue a refund, yet don't. Forcing your customers to dispute charges in order to get their money back demonstrates a type of operation which should be avoided at all cost.

Absolutely horrible
Absolutely horrible. Do not do business with them. Can’t fulfill their orders. Everything about this business is shady. It’s been over 4 months, still can’t get my order shipped. Requested a refund months ago, still can’t get that. No answers to customer service. BUYER BEWARE!!

Stay away
Stay away. I ordered a bunch of plates in November and never received the product. After reaching out to them multiple times via email and not getting a response I finally disputed the charge with my cc company last week. Very unhappy with this experience.

These 45lbs plates are awesome
Just received my plates and they are kind of beautiful. I wanted to share my experience because I noticed the other reviews:
I ordered these at the end of November. I was excited because the price was way better than anything else on the covid weight market and I really loved the idea of these plates being made out of repurposed parts.
They updated me several times throughout the process about their influx of orders, the process of manufacturing and shipping, etc. They even have a video on YouTube from one of the creators which put my mind at ease.
I did however get a little nervous last month just due to the timeframe. I reached out to the team several times via email and each time they responded within 48 hours with updates.
I just opened up the package today and they are even cooler than I thought. Sturdy, HEAVY haha, and have a really clean finish.
If you ordered and haven’t received an update, please reach out to the team. They updated me a ton and provided all the info I needed. These things are priced really fair in a market where everyone is now charging 3-4x the worthy of plates.
I’m stoked I have these now and I didn’t have to break the bank to get them. Will definitely order many more times from this company.
