Five stars for product, one star for shipping! I only got one!!!
By Why am I forced to put a name on Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2018
So i ordered these for my husband’s birthday a couple weeks ago. The item is sold as a set but is sent in two boxes. We received one dumbbell and were patiently waiting for the second for a week. The carrier just today said they lost our second dumbbell and we now have to return it. We were expecting it because so many other people have said this and his is Amazon, so we rolled the dice and lost. So for the delivery aspect I would give this one star. As for the single dumbbell we received, I would give it a five star rating. I took it out of the box and here was no damage. It is more compact than the all black version and feels very solid! I did a couple single arm military presses with it and it was nice! Feels a lot less wobbly than a circular dumbbell. Additionally, the little cylinders that add 2.5lbs each are a pretty neat feature and are why we chose this version over the all black one. I was really looking forward to getting the second one. There are l only things I would change about this dumbbell: the clip to change weights is plastic and I would prefer to have either a much harder plastic or a metal pin (presumably it was built this way to prevent damage to the dumbbells themselves as I would rather the pin break than damage the dumbbells), and the only way to access the inner cylinders to remove or insert is you have to remove the pin and pull it out which can add time. if you are doing a workout like p90x you may have to pause the workout to do this, but it is a small price to pay for an excellent dumbbell! All in all, I would recommend this dumbbell to anyone serious in having a home gym. For reference, I have been lifting for over 15 years, I plan on competing in women’s bikini bodybuilding competition after I have my second baby and wanted to have some access to weights while on maternity leave. However I would push to get it from a more reliable seller so you can avoid the huge disappointment of only receiving one! So therefor I would give the product itself 5 stars!

Great dumbbells but unacceptable shipping issues
By Sarah Rippy on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2018
I ordered this item two weeks ago and received a single package with a single dumbbell. I know they they get shipped separately, so I waited about a week to make sure the other one was not on the way. Then I called customer service and was told to re-order and return the original. I asked how they could guarantee that I would get two dumbbells the next time, and they told me there was no guarantee. I decided to wait on the return to see what would happen with the next order, which unfortunately produced another solitary dumbbell. I have now paid for the product twice and have a net total of a single set of dumbbells. I am mad that I had to pay twice to receive the set and that Amazon customer service has not been very interested in resolving this issue. Hoping they can offer a better solution than returning both and ordering again. As for the product, this is a quality set of dumbbells that includes weight increments from 2.5 to 50 lbs in 2.5 lb segments. It is very easy to adjust by 5 Ib increments but adjusting by 2.5 lb increments is a little more time consuming. They are sturdy and well constructed. They have minimal rattling during use and comfortable foam lined grips.
