Just for the
hell of it

So I wanted some more weight plates and prices have dropped to where I am willing to buy.

Order a 370 lbs set from Walmart. They came today. I made sure I was home and gave the Fedex driver some Gatorade since this was a little heavy.

The set was missing the two 15 and 10 lbs plates. Contact Walmart and the only solution is to return everything. This is 310 lbs of weight. Each plate is in its own box, each box strapped with plastic straps to keep the plate from coming out. I tell the Walmart guy this. He tells me to just put them in a box and tape it up. If I use more than one box just tape them all together or tie them with rope. Yes, he said to tie them together with rope. I reminded him what it was and its weight. Oh, that's no problem he says.

So this will be fun. I will not be putting them all together. I'm pretty sure FedEx will not take a package that weighs over 300 lbs and there is no way I want to move such a package even just outside my door.

Can't you return it to the local Walmart?

Consider it part of your expanded work out! Big Grin

But seriously, I hate sending back large, difficult packages. What a PITA.

Tell them to either send the missing plates or come box it up and take it back, it will be in the front yard.

If they do not agree, dispute the charge with your credit card.

One would think, but, according to my wife items purchased on-line cannot be returned to local stores ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah I think I'd try and kick that up a few notches in CS, making you box up or tie up 300 pounds of weights is absurd.
