I got a reptile terrarium from them. They were at a Reptile Expo about an hour from me, we went there, picked it up from the back, quick and easy. Cheap also, only 1$ per gallon for terrariums.

1000+? It's like $30 or so to ship the tank. They have a bunch of cities they drive through to deliver. You can take delivery from them at their delivery point. Unless you're in the sticks, the shipping isn't that much.
I was going to buy a 500 from them to replace the 750 I had from Precision Clarity that failed. When I spoke to them, some old lady that answers the phone was a really rude female dog!. She did not want to be bothered with faxing me a quote in writing setting forth the specs I wanted, knowing full well that I had my credit card in hand. What she reluctantly faxed me was very unprofessional.
Later on, my aquarium contractor told me if I bought a tank from them that he did not want to set it up, and said that there is a lfs around here somewhere that had two 500s built from them that exploded. I never verified this, and he did want to build me a replacement for almost twice as much $.
I can't help but feel like Glass Cages is a prime example of you get what you pay for, but I have read others talk about being happy with them. I am happy I did not buy from them.

Most everything I've heard about GlassCages has been negative from crappy tanks to horrible service.
I'd be willing to put money on it that those tanks with trouble were mishandled. Most people are ill-equipped to move large tanks properly. I have a friend who has many large tanks and he orders all of his from them. No problems that he's mentioned to me.

Ya right, maybe to ship a tank across the street. I was quoted a $200 "pick up" price to be able to pick up from a warehouse that they had tanks stocked at here in Denver. I ended up backing out of the deal, I've found too many good deals on used tanks.
