Title pretty much says it all. I'm looking to buy some adjustable dumbbells and noticed there are quite a few sellers selling 100 pound sets for $100 with free shipping via USPS priority mail.

I'm trying to figure how they can ship them for free? Anyone know for a fact? My initial guess is they're going to come broken down in several flat rate boxes but even 45 lb kettle bells are shipping free and selling for $45. Not sure how those would fit in a flat rate.

I'm just really curious how companies can ship such heavy items so cheaply. Any of you smart MoFos have any insight?

Maybe they are dropshipping some company with regional warehouses? And crappy quality so the shipping is half the cost of Goods Sold?

Also maybe they get a great rate for volume.

What? you dont know? how long have you been there in your moms basement? For christs sakes get out there even once a week and explore the world!

There's a new trend of technology nowadays thats very cost effective. This is how some of us ship now, each box carries a 100lb dumbbells.

I think a 45 pound kettlebell would fit in a a large flat rate box.

The truth is that they sell them at a loss, because they know that they are doing some good in a world full of businesses that make profit. They are different, they care.
 
For some reason the title and this thread has made me lol more than any other thread on WF recently. ahaha not really sure why.

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX YA DOLT:

1. Put their address as the Return Address
2. Forget to Put Postage on the Box.
3. Package is Returned to "Sender"
4. PROFIT
