Shipping
Im not sure if one of the plates was damaged during delivery or not but im not bothered by it.
Packaging/appearance
Came greasy and stink like rubber if that matters to you.

However, as soon as i opened the box it smell like cigarettes and cigars.
Competitiveness
My initial impressions are i can't find any difference between these and the more expensive name brand bumper plates.
Coating feels comparable to titan brand weights.
I’m thinking about purchasing an additional set of 230 pounds, and i’m leaning toward the cap competition color plates.
