Ivanko Stuff and Other stuff But mostly Ivanko Stuff
It had been requested that I post about my Ivanko stuff that people noticed in my Dumbbell Spotting System Thread. Sorry it took so long.
First up is my Ivanko 6 foot curl bar. In a recent thread there had been some concern about the shipping and packaging practices of Ivanko, but mine arrived intact and in excellent shape, even though the UPS guy was dragging it by one end as he walked towards my door. This leads me to believe that the issue is with UPS and not Ivanko as far as the bar arriving in less than ideal conditions. I guess 6 foot tubes that weigh 30 pounds can be unwieldy to some.
I ordered from Ironcompany.com. Jayson Operio is great and very attentive. It arrived in less than 2 weeks and tracking info was sent when it shipped from Ivanko by Jayson.
Some pics.
How it arrived...
