Im not sure if this is the place for this post or not... maybe someone can guide me to the right place... but i wanna know if shipping 2 big acrylic tanks is worth the price and money to get them shipped from fresno, cali to milwaukee, wi... both tanks are (i think around 120gal) with dimensions like 4x2x2... Thanks in advance...
 
I would think that all depends on price of the tanks and what kind of insurance they have if the tanks are damaged in transit. I would imagine the shipping on them would cost a good bit of money.
 
i think so too... jist wanted to see if anyone else has done it in the past and can give me some pointers...
 
Cost of (2) 120-gallon acrylic tanks in Milwaukee = A
Cost of (2) 120-gallon acrylic tanks in Fresno = B
Cost to ship (2) 120-gallon acrylic tanks from Fresno to Milwaukee (incl insurance) = C

If A> B+C, buy the tank in Fresno and ship it to Milwaukee

I assume you know B. You can call and find A in a few moments. C is the part that will take a little while for someone who doesn't live in Milwaukee, but I assume you live in Milwaukee, so that shouldn't take too long for you.

Is that your question?
