Why You Should ALWAYS Check Your Delivery Before The Trucker Leaves

[mrbacony]

Ouch. That hurts.
My Waterbox arrived physically damaged. You could see the box crushed in as they took it off the truck. Thankfully it was just the cabinet scratched a bit and not the aquarium.

Glad it wasn't something major. Did you have it replaced or were you able to live with it? In my case I didn't have enough glue to patch it up!

Literally my worst nightmare when I get my tank in. Happy you’ve gotten it handled and a new one on the way can’t wait to see it set up!!

 

[ScottR]

Oh man. How horrible but you’re so calm and cool about it. I hope the next tank is put together properly.

Your daughters are the bes!

No it was a small scratch and not noticeable once the tank was put up. I contacted Waterbox and asked for some filter socks in exchange for the damage. They were more than willing to do that to keep from having to send out a new cabinet.

As my mother says (i hope the translator program does it justice... It sounds so cool in spanish) "No pasa nada malo que algo bueno no venga de él." (Nothing bad happens that something good doesn't come from it.)

I'm glad my Spanish is still good enough that I don't need the translation.

LOL... Can never have too many filter socks! Way to negotiate.

If you hear the dialogue on the video you''l see that both my wife and I went off in Spanish when we saw the damage. I find I get more excited in Spanish. LOL

Glad you will get the tank replaced, but the real prize is your daughters.

Congrats on the job raising them!

 

[flyfisher2]

I can't say enough about my girls. Rough times. Lost their mom 8 years ago. It wasn't easy but God is good and we are here.

 

[flyfisher2]

And it's on it's way here and scheduled before Fathers Day!!! Oh yeah, I'm happy and my girls will be thrilled.

I think this can be added to the thread on here about what gives you nightmares! I'm glad this story has a happy ending!!

Leaves you to wonder if the person responsible for the destruction had an "Aw man, maybe they won't notice" moment when that happened...

Glad to see everything is working out in the end. Good job with your girls!

I hate to think that way but down the line wherever it happened there is no way you wouldn't notice this kind of damage.

I hate to think like this as well; however, it seems society has become quick to reject or redirect responsibility.

I felt bad about making the truck driver stand around while I unpacked everything. This is a good reminder to not feel bad! Sorry about your tank. Hopefully you have better luck with the new one!

Sad when you think about it. Easier to turn your back and walk away I guess... I would hate to think what that person would do if they backed into your car in the mall. I'm sure you'd have a stickie with their info on your windshield?

 

[flyfisher2]

the stand is coming along fine. My crew is dwindling...

Your video inspired us to video the freight company unloading our new pro clear 150 in wheeled it up to the front door and allowed me to check everything prior to leaving. Everything arrive safely. I hope yours arrives safely soon. Yes it’s hard on the manufacture to have to rely on freight carriers and their employees who may not care about package is being fragile.
