Ordered a large tank. He was supposed to work to schedule the delivery at a farm. He didn't follow-through on scheduling it. A good Samaritan happened to be available when the truck pulled up and so he helped to unload it.

The tank had a cut in it. It appears as though someone on manufacturing took a sawzall to it. It could also have been caused by poor lashing during shipment, I suppose. In either case, IT IS NOT MY FAULT. And, none of this would have been an issue if they had properly scheduled delivery instead of just showing up whenever the heck they wanted!

The good Samaritan did not know it needed to be inspected. I would have been there to do it if they had properly scheduled.

I couldn't get to the site to inspect it for quite a while. Once I did, I noticed the cut and informed the seller immediately. He decided to pursue the manufacturer. When the manufacturer declined to be involved the seller simply decided all of this is my fault because it took me a while to inspect the tank, and that somehow the damage occured while it was in my care.

Note: I have NO MOTIVE to damage an expensive tank I need to be in working condition.

I had the tank trucked to a repair shop, and it returned with a patch. I informed the seller I would send him the receipts for reimbursement, and he became offended at this and said he would not pay. smh.

My opinion: He wants to maintain the simple life of a drop-shipper and not deal with any real-life issues that can happen. Completely lacking in customer empathy or business ethics. Not even a thank you for the good Samaritan to accept the delivery instead of rejecting it and running up the seller's costs for a second delivery.

A 'Tard by any other name is still a 'tard.

Avoid this company. Buy from a reputable supplier that actually stocks product.

We purchased a water tank from tankandbarrel.com. It never showed up. When we inquired about its status they treated us terribly. They told us it was on its way and it still never showed up. So we told them we wanted a refund and they refused. They still have our money and we have no tank. It has been 7 months.
I do not recommend using them.

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is pretty much satisfactory to me.However, I would like to add some corrections to your statement:I realize you are not [redacted] (seperate complaint filed).  You do business with them.  Take a look at their online complaints.  They are incompetent and don't give a damn about customers. You can choose who you do business with.I agreed to pay for lift gate if it was used (because you gave me no other choice).  I specifically chose "no lift gate".  It seems like a convenient way for someone to make a few extra bucks.  Just quietly charge the customer weeks down the road... great idea!In your reply to my complaint, you forgot to mention the part where the woman on the phone said she had to speak with her boss and then she'd call me right back.  I waited all day for that call before I complained to Revdex.com in the evening.  In other words, if you had called me back (like you said you were going to do), there would have been no Revdex.com complaint.  I recieved no email (perhaps it was kicked off??), and didn't see any hint of a refund in my account until today (02/06).  Again, returning my call would have led to no Revdex.com complaint.
