Update 12/27

So I ordered initially,  waited for the shipping confirmation and once I got it I placed another order.  The first order came in with three Grates,  the second order initially came in a box with one Grate and today two more came fulfilling the order.  Total out of picket $40. For six hinged 22.5 Weber grates.

They came THROUGH!  Here's the Link to order

Update 12/26/16

Got back from Christmas travel and the second shipment I ordered only had one in the box.  Ugh. So It still says for three it's $19.99 on the website (I just captured another screenshot) but it seems with everyone jumping on the deal they probably can't or won't honor it.  If you don't need a hinged grate you may want to cancel if yours hasn't shipped.


The option for one or three are the same at $19.99
Read the reviews and buyer beware but I'm taking a shot.
Here's a screenshot of my order I highlighted the quantity discrepancy.

The discrepancy is still there.

I like the cost of 2  ($76.27)      :o

Order placed for the "package" of three.

I'm assuming the package can be returned if the quantity is "incorrect", and not really three     ;D

Thanks!   @captjoe06

Dude, relax your chicken.

Not sold or fulfilled by amazon, but a 3rd party.  It's most likely a listing error

I've got a shipping confirmation.  So I'm guessing the box has three.  It says it shipped three. 
I'll do a report once they come in.

Also says: 4mm stainless steel hinged grid with 5 year warranty

Many reviewers said that they're not stainless.

I'm taking a shot on them.  At $7 a pop I'll take the risk.  The standard Weber hinged grate isn't stainless either.

It's says bright nickel plated.. is that the same as stainless. Sorry if it's a dumb question. Someone make it clear please thanks

No it's not. These grates are regular steel plated with nickel. Stainless steel is a totally different material. Stainless Steel typically has a lot of chromium in the alloy mix.

When they arrive stick a magnet to them. A magnet won't stick to stainless.

Here are side by side comparisons of a Weber SS (Stainless Steel) grate and a Weber GBS (Gourmet System Grate).  The GBS is the top grate (bright and shiny - nickle plated) and the SS is the bottom grate (dull, non-reflective sheen).  Hope this helps.  BTW, not a dumb question at all. I could not tell the difference until I put the two together.

Yes it will, It all depends if the the stainless steel is ferritic or austentitic.

ABCbarbecue

There are some versions of stainless steel used to make grates that will be magnetic, or slightly magnetic, so that test alone can't verify what the grates are made of.

A good stainless steel grate is worth a dozen plated grates. The SS lasts and lasts. The plated grates go downhill with rust and erosion as soon as the plating wears off.

I was speaking in a generalization. Austenite is a nonmagnetic form of iron. Most of the 200 and 300 series stainless steels are austentic which will be nonmagnetic. Ferritic steels are iron-chromium steels and even though they can be stainless they are magnetic and generally used for different applications. Usually 300 series is for food grade applications like grates and cookware.

I tried it as well and placed the order.  It says free shipping.  I need a shower now.

Thanks for the heads up.
