Ordering Process

The Inch dumbbells are made to order.  The Inch training handles and blobs are in stock and ready to ship.  To order a bell, the customer pays for just the bell first.  It takes about a week to get the dumbbell made.  The customer will then be sent a invoice for freight shipping. After the shipping cost is paid the dumbbell will be shipped.  It takes about a week to ship the bell to the customer.  Dumbbells are shipped to the closest distribution center to the customer to waive a $100 liftgate and residential pup truck fee.  Dumbbells shipped to a XPO service center or Estes Freight service center must be picked up within 48 hours after arrival, or there will be a storage fee the customer is responsible for.  Dumbbells ship with either XPO or Estes Freight  The dumbbells can be picked up at the foundry in Jacksboro, TN during weekdays 8am- 4pm to waive shipping charges.  

Blobs ship through USPS with flat rate box for $25 per blob, which include insurance to cover the cost of them losing a package.  USPS has been very hit an miss on shipping blobs, sometimes they loose blobs, sometimes they take a month and a half to ship blobs, and sometimes they ship within a week.  Blobs can ship through UPS for a more reliable service, but for a higher cost.  UPS shipping for one blob is usually around $80 per blob in the USA.  Handles and bolts ship through USPS/UPS, and I will give you a quote for shipping the handle and bolts after they are packaged.  You can place your order by sending me a email to zstan3@aol.com with what you want, your name, shipping address and phone number.  I accept venmo, paypal or zelle.  I prefer zelle or venmo, there will be a additional 3% fee to use paypal to cover cost's.

How long to does it take to get the Thomas Inch dumbbell after ordering?

It takes about two weeks to get the dumbbell made and about a week to have it shipped.

What is the texture like on your castings?

The texture of the castings is similar to 120 grit sandpaper.  After they are poured the castings are shot peened and sand blasted, to give it a consistent texture.

How does your fatman blob compare to the original?

The replica is right around the same difficulty as the original, with a grittier texture.  The slopes are the same and has the same width.  The slopes on the replica are the same as the original non handle side.  The slopes on the replica are symmetrical and the same on both sides, vs the original has a flatter side on the handle side.

Are you going to make any different sized Inch bells and blobs?

Yes I am in the process of making more inch bell patterns of different sizes.  Priority order is as follows 185, 210, 230.  Patterns at the foundry waiting for them to made are the following sizes 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, and 200.  For blobs the priority list is 59, 40, 35, 65.  If you have a size you want please let me know and the priority list can be adjusted.
