  Content with Purchase February 13, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've read a few of the other reviews regarding shipping problems with this item. It seemed like I might have been taking a risk of having problems myself. After all I'm purchasing a 47 pound item and getting free shipping. I'm sure that Amazon... or whoever the vendor is... wasn't going to absorb the cost of providing a secure crate to ship this item as a freebie option. In some eyes that is fair.
Nevertheless, I took a chance. I got my item in a reasonable amount of time. Yes, I took the freebie shipping option and I got an undamaged product. I can't say that the negative reviewers were over reacting to their problems as I have no difficulty imagining what happened to them.
For sure, I received my product in the same box that one would find on the shelf at a local store. Yes, the cardboard is flimsy. There was no foam, paper or anything to absorb shock from any banging, dropping, etc. It had the plastic strappings (thankfully!!)... but the box surely took a beating somewhere... likely during the shipping process. It held together... barely... but all in all there were no cracks in the iron pot or lid.
I'm happy with the outcome... but I truly think that one is taking a roll of the dice here. I don't know if upgrading the shipping will provide a more secure shipping package or not... but at nearly 50 pounds for the pot... you're going to pay a pretty penny for upgraded shipping. Would be wise to make contact to confirm that you're getting a better shipping package when upgrading... or learn from others' experiences and perhaps you can demand getting better packaging with free shipping.
Depending on how bad you want the item... it might be worth it.

  20 qt dutch oven January 18, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Product looked great. Might have worked, IF IT WERE NOT BROKEN TO BUPKIS when it arrived, both times. Packaging was terrible. As a result, my son was very disappointed that he did not receive his Christmas gift.
  Great Value and Free Shipping September 6, 2007 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
You cannot beat the price on this well made dutch oven. Best of all, it was shipped free despite the heavy weight.
  Do not buy! September 6, 2007 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Do not buy!, September 6, 2007 By Margaret Thomas "tygerkittn" (Norcross, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This arrived shattered into pieces, the box shredded, as has happened to many other reviewers of this brand, and amazon sent a new one out BUT I have to somehow repackage the broken one and send it back. I can barely lift this thing, I don't know of any box that will hold it and it won't get far in the original box, since it's in shreds. I have to print a label and LUG this monster down to the US post office (do they even accept 40-50 lb boxes?) because amazon will charge me for TWO if I don't, because obviously it's my fault they sent it without any packaging around it. I wish I'd never bought this piece of junk.
