Goldens’ Essentials
Our Goldens’ Cast Iron Dumbbells are made from the highest quality American-made Ductile Cast Iron Blend – The best of ductile and gray iron properties. Goldens’ Foundry has been producing large industrial cast iron products for companies all over the world since 1882. Now you can enjoy our top quality durable, cast iron dumbbells. Buy a pair or get the full line to complete your in-home gym or fitness center!
No worries! Even though you purchased as a pair or pairs, it’s normal to see separate shipment. Each weight is shipped separately and usually tracked separately and at different times. Only our 5, 10 and 15 pound dumbbells are shipped and tracked together!
Some of our heavier items are packaged separately. So even though we usually give FedEx everything at the same time, items can get separated on their journey. Don’t let this worry you. They were meant to be with you!
No problem. You can read our return policy here! https://www.goldenscastiron.com/returns/
Keep in mind that our weights are an old school design so all those tiny surface imperfections are there for affect. Once shipped, some journeys from our foundry to our customers are a little rougher than others. If your weights have structural damage, take pictures and send them to info@goldenscastiron.com.
For minor cosmetic blemishes, they are easy to touch up with a black paint pen. We recommend PRO-LINE HP is a liquid paint marker. Shop Walmart. Shop Home Depot
PRO-LINE HP is a liquid paint marker developed for superior marking performance on oily and greasy surfaces. The high performance paint penetrates through oils and greases to dry quickly and leave a bold, permanent mark that is wear, weather, and fade-resistant.
Repainting your weights: If you want to completely repaint your weights, we recommend Rustoleum High Performance Enamel Gloss Black Spray Paint.

We understand your frustration. We ask the FedEx folks that same question every time they leave our loading dock with thousands of pounds of American made cast iron on the way to our customers. (When we ask, they just look at us and shake their head.)
Cast iron is heavy, and shipping companies set rates based on weight and distance. As for free shipping, we’ve all been conditioned to expect free shipping and low cost import pricing. We could provide “free” shipping, but that cost would get pushed into the product price. That said, we are working hard to lower those shipping costs. We appreciate your order and your referral.
Not at the moment. We are working to hold our prices as low as possible. The great news is that in the future, subscribers to our mailing list will receive discount coupons and sales promotions! These will be open only to members of the Goldens’ Cast Iron mailing list family! Make sure you join today.

If your order hasn’t shipped, the answer is Yes.
It’s possible to change addresses, phone numbers, emails, etc. If you discover that you’ve made a mistake, the order can be corrected…if the order has not been shipped.
If you wish to add to or change items on an unshipped order, it is generally best for us to cancel your pending order and allow you to make a completely new order.
Yes! When you select (1), that means 1 “pair” of dumbbells! If you select (3), that means you are ordering 3 “pairs” of dumbbells! Just go here and get started!
That’s easy!
Just select kettlebells or dumbells. Then select weight the quantity you want to buy.
Select “Add to Cart”. The next page will confirm your selection. Just advance to “Proceed to Checkout”.

I ordered the whole shebang (5-50lbs.) and they shipped out within a few days and were at my door in five days. Everything showed up except for my two 40lbs. which arrived after another five. Out of the 20 dumbbells I ordered, there was only one mistake, a third 45 instead of a 40. Mary from customer service responded to my email almost immediately and had a 40lb. weight shipped to me and the 45lb. picked up.
I love these weights, they’re rock solid and feel great in my hands. The customer service was top notch as well. The fact that these weights are made in the USA was what made me take a chance on them, and I’m glad I did.
I wholeheartedly recommend these dumbbells and I will be buying the heavier weights once they become available.

I bought a set of 10 lbs to see how they are . They are super. They feel great in the hand. They make you want to lift them. I will be buying 20 lbs soon. I will probably work my way up. They are a great product made in the USA. I am into cast iron lately. I bought an American made skill too. Buy American and get a good product. The shipping may be expensive but the product is great and you cannot go wrong. They also look good.

Purchased nearly a full set of dumb bells last year. Proud to see they are made in the U.S.A. but prouder still in my hometown!! Great products. I use them nearly daily and can’t wait for the 60+ pounders to come online.

I have bought both dumbbells and kettlebells from Goldens. These are high-quality no frills weights. They feel great in your hands and look good in a blue-collar way. Just honest good iron. That’s all you need. And the prices are very good as is the customer service. The Iron Age is definitely here!!
