I have a crappy update.
The delivery truck shows up with one guy in a box van, and he is asking ME where my friends are to unload it. HUH?
They unloaded both my 600 & 300 so WTF...
I was about to call the tribe over to help unload, then the guy opens the truck up. They loaded it lenth wise in the truck.
So I asked him how they got in in there? He says a fork lift.
What do they think every household has a fork lift? Even with 20 guy it would still be a ***** to get it out of the truck. The tailgate lift is OLNY what 4-3 feet wide. How do they expect me to unlaod a 10 foot long tank?
So now I have to wait till Wed. for delivery and pay 3-5 hundred bucks for them to bring a fork lift to my house...
Dayam!!! If they loaded it by a forklift, wouldn't be it common sense for them to know that they need a FORKLIFT to unload it...
xxblwn408, sorry to hear about the idiotic delivery company.... amazing sometimes huh? Well, congrats on the purchase. I decided last month to cancel my order on a 720g. also..... the reality set in and it didn't seem practical to have a tank with that size footprint take up a quarter of my garage..... esp. with marriage and starting a family only 6 months away! Glad to see you can pull it off (along with your other tanks too!) If you decide to go big again, sell me your 600! 
750 gallons! what a monster! lol.. sorry they ended up charging you a buttload of money for a friggin forklift. could you rent one from a lhs for cheaper? that just seems like ALOT of money for a forklift.
once they get it to the door (with the forklift) just how are they planning on getting it IN the house and situated? hmmm.. if i were you id bribe your neighbors to help (free food and beer always entices! lol)
let us know how it goes!

Thanks all. It will be a garage tank. I have some extra room now that our racetrack has closed and my car just sits. The plan was to put a lift in my garage, but now it looks like a tank has won the space.
I spoke to a friend at BAX Global and he is going to look at the tank to see if he can deliver it.
The worse thing about this whole thing is I laid my eye on it and wasn't able to touch it. Felt like I was at a strip club...
I will keep you all updated.

I would think it would be common sense for the delivery company to realize that they should either get a fork lift or pack it differently.
Wow though, thats going to be a nice tank.

That's bigger than a sport compact car. Conversion in feet is 10' x 4' x 2'6" . I wish I have space and finance to do something like this. Big pimpin!xxblwn408;1385619; said:
