Hey guys, so I was told by my LFS that my Planet Aquarium 310g will be getting shipped next week. I paid an extra hundred bucks for them to deliver it to my house. It was $250 for it shipped to my LFS and an extra $100 for it to come straight to my house. Have any of you ordered and had shipped a large planet aquarium tank? Does it come on a semi or a large box truck? Is it crated or on pallets? Someone told me they ship just the tank, no pallets or crate, and it gets drop shipped right there on the street. If that’s the case, I’m starting to reconsider having it shipped to my house and just having them send it to the LFS and I just rent a uhaul to go pick it up and drive it back(was trying to avoid doing that to minimize the risk of me damaging it transporting it). Because depending on the time it’s shipped, if they just drop it on the street, it’s only going to be just me at home and I’ll have no way of getting it up my driveway myself, unless they will be willing and/or able to back the truck into my driveway up towards my garage door to drop the tank off. That would be the easiest and best scenario for me if they could do that. Just curious what any of your all’s experiences have been.
