tanknovice Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 As many of you are aware I have been planning on my tank upgrade from my current 220gallon to a 4ftx8ft x 30 tank with powder coated stand. I originally ordered this before Thanksgiving with a few changes during this time. It was supposed to be delivered two weeks ago and the following are the pictures of when it left the builder.

tanknovice Posted April 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 On the day of original delivery two weeks ago got a call that morning that the freight company could not deliver to the house and that I would need to pick it up. I arranged for a flat bed to meet me at the trucking company on the south side yesterday and got there around 2 much to my surprise when I got there the packaging did not look anywhere near as good. With the legs of the stand bent the pallet broken and the straps broken. Had to refuse delivery called the manufacturer and the insurance claim process has begun. Doubt the stand is salvageable and no idea on the tank had a pretty good dent in the packaging so doubtful on that as well. Once the tank manufacturer gets the tank and stand back they can give me a new timeline. In the meantime I am left with blue tape on my basement floor as a chalk outline for the tank..Definitely to be continued 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentNight1793 Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 That is a really bummer. Hopefully they will be able to expedite getting the tank back to you......and in better condition from the previous carrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was really disappointing after all that waiting. Hopefully they can get it turned around quickly. I am really looking forward to carrying that beast to the basement, oh, wait, I'm out of town that weekend, day, evening, morning, lunchtime...
