So I call, really pissed again, and let the owner know. Shipping companies fault??. He tells me he'll get it picked up and they will repair the damage. I am a little worried about getting a shattered overflow "repaired". But he assures me they do it all the time, they router it off of the side and replace it with a new one.
*My overflow takes up the entire side wall of the tank*.
He lets me know it shouldnt take more than week. About 2 weeks go by, and I'm wondering whats going on. I call and leave a message. He promptly calls me back and lets me know there was a delay and that it should go out soon. Couple days later, he calls me and lets me know its shipping out.
End of September - 3rd tank arrives - I dont let the shipping company leave and I check it on the spot - thoroughly. There is a giant imprint of 2 pallet forks on the side of the tank and damage to the pallet. Im about to explode. Thankfully it was well packed and this time, there looks to be no damage. All the bulkhead holes are correct, I dont see any defects and the bow is just minor - which is to be expected.
So after 10 months, I have a nice looking Tenecor Tank.
Its currently sitting on the stand in my house. I have everything bought for it.
Thats really the one thing that pissed me off the most. Back in February I had bought all the equipment, Reeflow Darts, Eheim 2262's, and all the plumbing. For 8 months all that stuff just sat in my house unused.
When im done with this round of work trips, I'll get it put together, prolly wont take me more than a day or two. I'll post up pics when its done and **hopefully** it wont leak =)
If I decide to deal with Tenecor again, which is possible, (The tank does look really nice when its all done right) - I will only call the owner. If you want to know how to talk to him, I can tell you a trick I discovered.
