Was this a normal store or business center?

I bought one of these from my local non-business Costco as well as one of the Whalen Industrial Racks. These $50 heavy duty racks are nice, melamine coated wood shelves, reasonably sturdy. The $140 Whalen Industrial Racks (also Costco) are next-level. Way bigger, can hold 2,000 pounds PER SHELF and are ultra beefy. This heavy duty rack is much smaller so I bought one of each for my garage setup, and I would recommend both, depending on your needs.

If you need the Industrial Rack that is $140 (normal $160) and is Costco item number 956886 and the link for reference for size is here: https://www.whalenfurniture.com/c...2472wwd-bw

I have the Gladiator twin of that beefy rack, 2 racks can extend into 3 racks if you set them up side by side. Have a set in both garages. They're sturdy as heck, I've climbed up the side when looking for something on the top shelf and the rack is holds my weight effortlessly.

Someone I know just got these for $57 plus tax in another state at the local Costco.

I checked that Zip code as well as mine on the link in this post and both say they are unavailable for shipping.

Is anyone else seeing this not available for shipping?

NVM - I see now that the link was for reference and its B&M only for that price. Ill go check my local store.

Nice deal cant believe slickdeals puts the Walmart crap ones for more money on front page

I purchased and installed walmart ones but after seeing these in store..I packed them up and returned and bought these. Good point of effort but they look world's better! And way more stable.

Love these shelves. I have 3 sets of them. Super easy to set-up. Haven't experienced any sagging or other issues. That's over a couple years. We use them primarily for canned food storage.

Yes, you have to "share" a post to make the 3rd rack. BUT since these shelves are so universal, I was able to pickup additional shelving brackets from Lowes which sold pieces individually, not sure if they still do.
